Hi,

recently tried out a heavy condition focused grenade build for dungeons & general Pve, and it was ok so far. but 3 points were really annoying:

- Open world pve was really slow. Applying the conditions takes time and slowed down the progress. Eventfarming was a desaster…
- in Dungeons another condition User cuts yout dmg in a half
- I really really miss my rifle

so my question: are there viable Power Builds for Dungeons and PvE? StaticDischarge rocks for eventfarming but does it in dungeons? Or a Power grenadier Build even with the 30% nerf?

Has many tokens to spend and wanna make a power build with rifle that does ok in Dungeons, world Pve (need 100& map completion!) and maybe WvW?

thanks!

Try a 30/30/0/0/10 build, or 30/20/0/0/20 with all berserkers armor and trinkets.
Using medkit, grenades, rifle and other two your own prefered choices. Get kit refinement and if you decide to put 20 in tools traits, get also static discharge for a power rifle build. I feel grenades are best when they are a hybrid of high power and a bit of condition damage.
This build is focus on crit damage, for more precision, get two pistols which is also good at stacking different types of condition besides grenades.

No two engineers are the same.

I use a 30/0/0/30/10 build traited for grenades and might stacking with elixers and HGH. Could work. With the added might stacks you get, you won’t need to add in condi dmg to your set.

Don’t disturb me, I have a cat in me at the moment.

for now I stick to a 30/10/0/0/30 with zerker and 2 rampagers. throwing around elixiers for rnd effects is kind of meh (even if its effective)

you glass cannon People make me sick, try doing something new.. TankCat build try it

And the kit is not broken it is working just fine, your issue is your not use to ground targeting and should work on it, also if you wvw you will fully understand why a ground targeting system is better with this kit rather than a auto tartget one.

Hi, what about this build that i’m going to try just when a get all the tokens… (Now i just need the armor gear)
Traits: 30 20 0 0 20 with explosives V, II and XI. Firearms IV, VI. Tools VI, IV or as you like.
Weapons: Double pistols with Superior Sigil Of Earth and of Corruption. Rabid gear (buyable with HotW tokens and gives you Condition Dmg, Precision and Toughness) with Beryl Orbs (Power Vitality and Critical Dmg).
Trinkets with: 2 ascended rings with Precion, Power and Condition Dmg, rampager’s accessories and amulet with Ruby Orb.
Healing Skill: Elixir H.
Utility Skills: Grenades for a great AoE damage and Condition Damage, Elixir C for converting conditions into boons for you and allies, Flamethrower (useful for farming) or Elixir Gun for heal when you swap on it (IV of Tools), get regeneration (with F1-F2-F3-F4 buttons, i dont know its name XD)
Elite Skill: Supply Crate for dungeons and Elixir X for Farming.
I hope you’ll like my build. Feel free to make changes and post them! If you enjoy more with the rifle I think it’s a good alternative, but i think that the possibility to use 2 sigils and have confusion, poison + 2.5k of damage with skills 3 and 2, and some high burning damage with skill 4 plus the trait bonus is great!!

jep its basically the same build but focused more on conditions instead of critdmg. I definitly prefer my rifle, because i use it as “Survivability”-Option and the frontloaded damage. But adding in more Rampager gear feels actually good for the added grenade condition dmg…
