Guild Wars 2

Any builds there that are more on the dps/bruiser side with a dose of group play?

Preferably hammer. Thanks!

Looking for this as well, looking for a supporty bruiser scrapper.

Something like this?

High power, good balance of precision, ferocity, toughness, and vitality. Decent might stacking and superspeed application.

I’ve been running full zerk, with healing turret, flamethrower, blast gyro, slick shoes, and mortar. Using firearms, tools, and scrapper. May not be exactly support, but it does provide damage, combo fields and finishers (nice for aoe perma swiftness and blinds), and does incredible damage to break bars (I can solo most break bars).

I’m pondering a knight’s gear build and scrapper runes with a very similar build to ANort but alchemy and abusing elixers.

Anyone found where you get scrapper runes in PVE?

My personal love of Scrapper right now is the fact that it REALLY ups our front line potential. With the current state of HoT content I have found that Berserker gear is suboptimal for this new setting and have recent adjusted my gear to compensate for this, with some help from our new specialization of course. If you would like to try it, then I personally invite you to trying out my own take on Tank n’ Spank.

This will provide you with the ability to deal damage rivaling Berserk gear, while simultaneously having the survivability of Soldier without the intense DPS loss. You are an experienced player, so I do not feel the need to go too in depth as to how this would provide both offensive and defensive support for your party. Obviously certain utilities could be adjusted for necessity.

You can pretty much take the MetaBattle Power Grenadier build and swap the Tools specialization for Scrapper and swap Rifle for Hammer. The build works pretty much the same way, except you use the hammer skills instead of rifle skills in your rotation.

I know people love to hate meta builds, but it’s honestly a lot of fun and hammer skills bring a lot more potential utility to the table.

If we’re talking for open world group stuff, I’ve been running nades/FT/egun, but swapping out either FT or egun for Bulwark gyro depending on how much healing or aoe is needed. Sneak gyro also makes rezzing or surviving a breeze, it’s rare that mobs ever aggro to it.

You can take either hammer or rifle, hammer is more fun right now but also has useful utility that makes it better than rifle in some cases.

Scrapper ideal is to be tanky
(My Preference)
My Build Look like this
WP : Hammer
WP : Sigil > Battle (Might 20 Sec On Swap and Corruption <Conditions are op>)
Armor Rune : Hoelbrak or Strength your choice i’ll go on hoelbrak for more tankiness
Kits : Nades and Bomb
Utility : Elixir B (The one that Provide lots of Buff)
Healing : Elixir or Gyro(Rocket Charge + F1 Leap heal around 2.7 – 3.5k)
Gear : Celestial Full
Elite : Elixir X or Mortar… Depend on Situation
Trait : Explosive > Nades > Bomb >Mortar if you are using mortar if not go with bleed on explosive
Alchemy : Protection when stunned > Elixir S Auto (retreat if needed you are an off-tank regen on using kits is useless you will be swapping kits a lot) > Empower Elixir for free might stacks
Scrapper > Lightning Shock on Lightning Field(Hammer #5 + Big’O Bomb or Rocket Charge Free Super Speed every 10 sec) >Rapid Regen (this combine with the first trait + Swiftness for Elixir B ) Adaptive Armor 500 Toghness + Condition Damage Reduce for more tanky or you can take Perfectly Weighted for stab and damage

if you go zerker you will drop in 10 sec after initiate the fight
