Guild Wars 2

Now that the new trait line patch has gone live, I was wondering would would be the most effective or efficient PVE/ Dungeon build. I havnt had much time to check everything out and was hoping someone could help me out!!

Interested in this as well

Dosn’t matter for me. I’ve been transitioning into Rift and this patch, specifically the elixer R nerf and the lack of significant nerfs to war, are the final straw.

If i want ANet’s opinion i’ll ask the gem buyers.

By my estimation, if you were running grenades for dungeons before, very little has really changed.

I think there are more good builds now (not unique to Engineer either) which is great for the game.

Turret builds are better, gadgets are better, elixirs are still awesome obviously. Looks like it’s getting really close to just play what you like and you’ll likely be just as competitive as everyone else. Closer.

Is that a typo, or are you implying that warrior needs to be nerfed??

As an engineer warrior should be free kills.

Have a snack, little troll..

It’s true. As an engineer, warriors are at a significant disadvantage. Warriors needed a buff. What they got… I’m not even sure what to call it.

Correct for the most part, but there has been one huge change for me.

The new Scope has been a blessing as a PvE zerker grenadier. Unless there are situations that need stacking (such as Subject Alpha), staying 600 units away to gain extra crit chance has also allowed me to swap for a couple survivability accessories and not lose the ability to stack 25 vuln without food. This was noticeably, incredibly significant during a Fractals-48 run.

In dungeons it has been a buff for me, definitely. Currently I’m running a 10/30/0/30/0 build in PVE, but thanks to coated bullets and juggernaut I can change my build around. Originally there was always a junk trait I had to take in the middle between the + recharge and coated bullets/Juggernaut, but now there’s no junk trait.

Oh, the possibilities are endless right now. I could go with 10 more points in explosives to get more might from enhance performance, or for when I run the bomb kit I can use explosive powder/short fuse. I can put it into Tools to gt kit refinement or maybe even static recharge for when I op for other things than elixirs. Maybe even the gadget recharge rate, so I can leap around like a freak on rocket boots.

I’m probably going to go 20/20/30 though. I like me some might.

You must be thinking PvP.
The comment made perfect sense for PvE which has a lot more players.

Well SD builds especialy in PvE get about 70% damage boost (Battering Ram instead Goggles, 33% Surprise Shot buff and new Modified Ammunition 24%). It now hits like truck:-) I also had lots of fun with new rocket boots:-)

I was almost exclusively PvE, with some WvW zergs mixed in there.

Now i am exclusively Rift. ANet has lost what goodwill the dragon bash and free minis have bought.
