Guild Wars 2

I’m somewhat new to engineer, but I love supporting in this game. Just asking if you think this build is viable in PvE. If not, tell me some changes you would make while keeping this play style.

Turrets are just bad in PvE, they deal very low damage and die fast. Fortified Turrets is only useful in a few situations and should only be used with low cooldown turrets (rifle, flame, net).
As it stands now, support is not really needed in PvE as it’s all about maximum damage and evades/blocks/reflects. If you want to play a “supportive” spec you should at least include some damage.

Take a look at this build. You can simultaneously heal and deal damage, have the most important combo fields, condi removal and blinds.

I don’t play with Berserker groups. I don’t approve of the play style. So I still don’t see how having three kits is better then a bunch of heals from Elixer gun and turret, with some decent CC. also being able to revive people. (the turrets aren’t there for the damage, but the buffs/CC/heals)

if thats the case why are you asking? if you are not optimizing, then it really falls closer to “PHIW”(playhowiwant) which is anything goes territory.

Fortified turrets is ok in STACKING enviroments, I assume you dont stack, useless trait since its so small and will most likely protect only you.

This build gives you aoe heals with bombs, The vuln stacking of bombs, heals on kit swap, more heals on heal skill, and TONS of blast finishers. This is prolly the best build for an inbetween imo, you dont lose out on the vuln/blasts that make engie great, but you get healing, LOTS of healing.

Throw mine can be whatever you want honestly, its just really good cause of its blast. and toolbelt, you can put thumper there if you REALLY want it.

Good engineer support is through stacking vulnerability, blinding enemies, stacking team might, slowing/controlling with chill, team stealth, and cleansing allies.

There’s a build that has it all. It even has some group heals if that’s what your after.

Support in PvE = moar damageee!!! We are anyway able to do everythinng else than damage … AND DAMAGE >:D
