Guild Wars 2

Well it can solo in a differend level ranges, and depends a much wich type of a champion you are encountering. Some are much easier then others because of ’’mechanisms’’ they work.
Same goes when you play a differend class(profession), some are really easy in a differend level range and others will bring a problems more.
(saying this way from my own playing experience).

That’s a very broad question. Open world champs are very different from instanced ones, and Tyria are generally a lot more forgiving than the HoT ones.

Engineer has the tools to be very effective solo, but most rests on the player’s shoulders to fine-tune their build and playstyle for encounter (no, it’s not one-build fits all), learn the mechanics of the fight, have good timing.

Yea, I am not sure if anyone can solo some Magus Falls champs; Central Tyria is definitely possible.

I think a combination of bulwark/stealth gyro traited with final salvo, healing turret, and slick shoes should provide a lot of adequate attrition against anything since you can greatly reduce the damage against yourself and also hide when the battle’s not going your way.

Turrets (rifle and rocket launcher) and kite (using up/down terrain or LoS if able so that boss must use a longer path or re-position to hit you with melee/ranged attack). It’s the same as really any class, kiting is critical with adds. Use ranged (elixir gun/grenades/rifle – better options than most other classes) and run around non-stop. If the turrets die, kite until you can summon again.

Boss mechanics … yes, you need to know when to dodge or it doesn’t matter anyways.
(trait for energy gain and use Sup Sig of Energy, Adrenaline Implant (Tools) as well as Mecha Legs (Inventions)

Wahoo!!

Aslong as it isnt Balthazar xP The rest I’ve soloed Oh and the kitten Mushroom Queen ofc! She’s impossible aswell >_>

I’d suggest you use a FT self might sustain scrapper power build. Then swap some utilities according to the situation and you’ll be fine! Most important, you have to know what your doing, you have to play good!

If you have questions about specific HoT champs, let me know ^^

i can solo mushroom queen reliably on condi reaper

engi? pfffftt hahahahha

i have a better chance soloing the emperor, and ive only gotten him to like 10% on engi

the emperor? o.ô

A build that I use to speed run every champion HP solo is as follows. Very forgiving amount of defense, 25 might/high quickness up-time and utility for different champions.

Zerker everything + hammer (rifle for some bosses’ breakbar)

Heal Gyro, Elixir B, U, Egun (Bulwark gyro in place of egun depending, Minefield for the chak HP’s retal/breakbar) Any elite skill, usually stealth or supply crate

Firearms/Alchemy/Scrapper spec lines.

This is an easy to learn build I suggest to any engineer looking for easy gameplay in HoT.

You can also run condi but it is significantly faster, but more difficult for more casual/inexperienced engineers to keep mobs in every fire field while dodging around. This build can solo even the vampire HP without much trouble, as long as you know it’s mechanics and have a little luck.

Xyonon.3987:

the emperor? o.ô

yeah, the mushroom emperor who terrorizes the priory camp nearish the starting wp in td

Yes. There are multiple methods since engineers can take advantage of multiple mitigation sources both active and passive. It depends more on skill level. For multi enemy encounters without some form of terrain advantage probably not though.

Wahoo!

I think noone will disagree that Scrapper and Firearms are the spine of the open world engi. FT is definitly the strongest weapon thanks to the synergy of those two trait lines. But what third line shall we pick?

Inventions – bunker down, period. Pooping those medkits and mines every exact 2s (ty FT aa) is just so great! You have perma regen and awesome heal and bonus dps with those mines. Your healskill also automaticly cleanses condis wich makes the Gyro an instant cleanse. It’s probably the most “regenerative” option we have. If still feel you need more sustain, you can reduce your damage and pick Rapid Regen and Final Salvo for ultra sustain.

Tools has some charme too, especially for more dodges and a 2nd activation of toolbelt skills, aswell the cdr on them and static discharge. I think Tools is better for bursting trash and has a higher damage output in general. It’s also nice to have 33% permaspeed instead of only 25% like Inventions. However, tools is only really good if you use SD correctly – forcing you to use utilites like Tool Kit or Rifle Turret.

Alchemy has HGH, and that’s pretty neat. It’s also very effective for condi heavy encounters. Forces you to use EG, but in a good way. I’d say this line is rather for teamplay, than for soloing. HGH is much more useful if you buff allies with it, rather than youself.

In the end all 3 options are great. But for solo I’ll probably stick to Inventions.

Perbadedyr.4639:

Coztic Itzel Belongings Hero Point, I have no chance against, instant kill me (have it done now got a lot of help)

For this one I will probably upload a vid some day, because I see tons of players just die from him. The solution is easy and stupid: don’t get hit at all. I use bulwark and medic gyro to help me protect myself IF he’d get me. But you should always move away from him, kite him, once he starts doing his attack you can attack him for long time on range until he finished his animation.
Also reflect the bow attacks for a huge damage boost.

Perbadedyr.4639:

Security Console Hero Point, Very hard, lucky i got help, But like to learn how to solo it :-)

I also use bulwark here since reflect and sustain is all it takes. Don’t forget to use combos like water field + hammer #3 or hammer #5 + #3.

Perbadedyr.4639:

Egg Clutch Hero Point (Chak Hollow) got it done, but only because someone come and help out.

This one is nasty. I’d use bulwark here, aswell either slick shoes for breakbar or tool kit for defense. You should keep your hammer #4 to block when he does the huge aoe, dodge away from him, use hammer #3 maybe even or you could also use elixier gun #4. It’s important to always block the charges, never get knocked down and careful – he has a pierce from above finishing move that skips downstate.

Perbadedyr.4639:

Notice to Trespassers Hero Point (NE of Bristleback Chasm), This one fail big time, Even when 2 players more come we fail badly…..

This is another reflect and block one with “don’t touch me!” aspects :‘D I always finish the adds first, aswell as when some of them respawn, focus them. Try to reflect with hammer #2 and bulwark gyro. It’s sorta of a sustain game.

Anyt questions?

Not trying to hijack the thread but if im doing HP in HoT Maps i dont have scrapper unlocked yet. What build should i use while running around getting these hero points (no hammer or scrapper) Thanks

pretty much whatever you want as long as it includes [mecha legs or streamlined kits] and [rocket boots and or eg]. id also avoid turrets besides healing turret because theyre overnerfed and have never been great in pve.

if you need help at champs, ask map chat and someone will come (eventually) because you get map currency. theyre trivial with ~5 people (except vamp beast in vb), and not bad at all with 2+. but you can get your full spec with only about 3 champ hps iirc if you do all the other hps. but theres no point when you can ask map chat to help with champs.

Thanks yeah ive unlocked elites on my Warrior, Guardian, Rev and Thief. I have a commander TAG which i used to quickly get help for HPs when HOT was first released. I just havent been there in ages so dont know how busy it is now and didnt know if i have to solo a lot now.

Hi,
For me, best champ solo is basic condi engineer meta build. You just only need land 1 skill to deal a lot of dmg. This will allow you kite champs and use “easy burst”.
Pro:
-lot of vulnerability
-5skills(which 2 fields) of blind condition for trash mobs
-solid cc
-high dmg output(fire bomb, blowtorch, incideary ammo…)
-quality of life; tools trait-50% endurance regen, perma swift, auto stun break
-really good build for solo migraine hot achievement

Cons:
-fragile
-must have good precision how to put skills and what you must dodge
-fast fingers
-carpal tunnels
