Guild Wars 2

Have people been enjoying the new Blunderbuss? :P

I’m starting with 0/20/20/0/30 myself and start tweaking from there.

With IP in second tier and Invigorating Speed nerfed through Speedy Kits, I didn’t bother with either one. Energized Armor is still open for me and might change it for Power Shoes and Speedy Kits for SD.
Haven’t played much since the patch, but feels pretty solid. Heal and Toolbelt resets at 25% are pretty sweet, especially with Toss Elixir S. Toss Elixir S allows for some sneaky bursts(throw wrench -> blunderbuss -> net shot -> jump shot -> pry bar). And the Blunderbuss “big hit” range increase is just boss.

So, share your rifle builds and spread the pain!

PvP? PvE? I’m still using a SD build for both since I just like it despite its limitations. 30 in Tools just satisfy a lot of my needs. With SD I have extra damage, with Speedy Kits I have perma Swiftness and with Adrenal Implant I have my Endurance needs taken care of.

The difference ranges from PvE to PvP. In PvE I take Modified Ammunition since dungeons and champions and my last ten points are a toss-up since ‘build diversity’ is supposed to mean ‘no good choices so pick whatever’. Which is what I did. I put ten points in Explosives for 100 Power and picked Empowering Adrenaline ::shrug:: Boring trait, but nothing else really calls me.

In PvP I switched Modified Ammunition for 10% more damage for the Rifle (making it Cripple on Immobilize, 20% faster recharge and 10% more damage). I don’t feel there is enough consistent conditions in PvP to make Modified Ammunition. I also feel it is a toss up between Protection Injection and Cloaking Device. Somedays I take one, some days I take the other. Sometimes I take both and lose the Cripple on Immobilize though as a SDer I live on my CC.

I run similar builds and have the same thoughts. Glad to see other power/rifle engies out there. Rifle is just my favorite weapon besides the bomb kit, and would like to be able to run with it without being pigeon-holed into ONE SD build. Seems like SD is the only way to generate enough damage to burst em down while staying out of range. Otherwise, using Blunderbuss or Jumpshot you have to sacrifice some burst for some sort of survability…

I’ve been thinking about the new Power shoes, Speedy Kits and Rocket boots for the ultimate roamer and maybe orb runner. With the added mobility, perhaps another role instead of pure damage where the engineer can shine….

i have a rifle berserker(glass cannon)build for pvp and that is my favourite build for pvp glory farm. BUT i want to say this my build is weak againts “perma sthealth -thieves and mesmers-” because of i cant find where they are knockback from turret detonating and their toolbelt skills are also useful and efficient with statick discharge… i think you wanna see that

sorry for bad language …and my build link:

if you check it, I will be waiting for your feedback

kakumbien.8047 I’ve been playing your build but using soldiers amu with beserk jewel and using my turrets more defensively. Its awesome as a point assault or even semi bunker. Been having fun with it!

Pawnchee.3059 ty for feedback. Toughness from soldier seems like a good choice for pvp but probably , you will miss lots of chain crit. hit from static discharge and other hits
because of less precision -_- Actually my build was improved to attack targets and kill them in 5 sec or less (for farming) but i will try it , thanks a lot

This is my wvw set up… I have been an kitten and posting this build in many threads. I don’t know of many people running a power bomb set up but it’s a lot of fun (trying to spread the word). Rifle hits very hard with this build. The idea is to drop BoB, magnet pull them, prybar, BOOM, rifle 4, throw wrench, etc. Most fun I’ve had in the game. For spvp i run eagle runes and full zerker.
