Guild Wars 2

Ever since the new specializations, engis have gone towards Flamethrower for insane burning damage. But now that bomb radius has been fixed, would you give bombs a shot? Especially since flamethrower doesn’t offer the condi variety that bombs have.
(This is a PvP question btw)

I play a rabid pistol/shield Engi with nades and bomb kit and it works great so far.

Since they’ve fixed it bombs would be pretty good for a hybrid build now IMO. Might start working on one! Build #7 xD.

I love playing bombs. I play bomb with toolkit and rocket boots. Enough burning, high aoe control. I love them. Only thing that I hate is the bomb trait. Idd love to use it but I dont since explosives line sucks

How useful do you guys generally find glue bomb to be on a regular basis? Sometimes, but not very often, I find it useful, most of the time, I find myself wishing it had Langer immobilization or just wishing it was a poison bomb.

i dont often use glue bomb, but when i do its perfect… its just one of those buttons i dont always push. which is fine when builds usually have 20-30 skills.

I find bombs are hampered by the fact that we can’t really stay in close range combat anymore. It was my favourite kit before patch and now I find it has very edge applications for me. It use to be my main go too.

I get more use out of flamethrower now because of it’s blind (while stunned, so I can escape), its knockback (so I can escape), the ball-o-fire thing I can’t aim well for its blast finish, and a really long fire field I can do both ball o fire and mortar in.
