Don’t feeling like writing a huge intro, so here you go:

This is a power build that focuses around might stacking using your Elixir skills( which now include the toolbelt skill, #4 and #5 on Elixir Gun, BOUT TIME!)
Capable of maintaining 20+ might permanently while in combat, and MASS Condi-Cleansing for your party.
Gear
- I use Marauder amulet, for the extra vitality and crit chance however, if you feel comfortable in Berserker, feel free to use it. (note:
this build doesn’t utilize toolkit)
- Rifle is our best option, as it brings high power damage,low CD Immobilize, and Good CC however, you can use Pistol/Shield if the situation calls for it
(e.g 2 or more LB rangers/Rifle warriors/Pew pew teefs) >:(
Runes
- Strength runes are a no-brainer, and I can’t imagine anything else working with this build, but you can experiment with your favorite runeset if you feel so inclined.
Sigils
- 1st Sigil: Sigil of battle is the best thing this build can ask for, more damage is always welcome.
- 2nd Sigil: I personally love sigil of Blood because the heal saves me alot and also does some extra damage but,you can put anything you’re used to/comfortable with.
(e.g: Generosity/Cleansing: when there are a lot of conditions flying around and you can’t keep up,Fire/Air: if there are a lot of glassy enemies that you need to burst down quickly)
- Traits/Specializations* <— took me 4 tries to spell that right.
Not gonna go over them, just check the link you lazy bum >:(
Variants
- As mentioned before, you can use Berserker’s amulet if you’re comfortable with them.
- If [Elixir X]‘s RNG isn’t being nice to you, feel free to use [Mortar kit] as its #5 is an Elixir skill and will proc HGH, and if that’s the case, you should switch your Explosives Grandmaster to Siege Rounds for a long lasting water field and double blast finisher.
- Explosives Adept: Glass cannon is only there because Grenadier is not working (R.I.P100nades), going to switch to that once it’s “fixed”.
Roaming
When you’re running around keep using your [Toss Elixir H], [Healing Mist],[Acid Bomb] and [Super Elixir] to keep your might up while out of combat.
Engaging
Use [Toss Elixir S] for quick access to stealth and try to land as many grenades as you can from [Grenade Barrage], then [Blunderbuss] and [Overcharge Shot] (your Tools Adept should proc, which will instantly break your self-CC, giving you even further advantage).
Combat Style
- Use [Acid Bomb] and [Super Elixir] on cooldown, as they are your sources of sustain damage and healing.
- Use Grenades to keep up damage pressure and try not to miss a single grenade.
- Use [Toss Elixir X] to break your enemies’ powerful abilities (e.g Necro’s Lich form, Warrior’s Rampage, Ele’s Armor of Earth and Tornado)
Counters
- Teefs: they can take our precious might and use it aginst us >:(
(Try your best to avoid their steal) - Shatter Mesmers: most will take the boonstrip on shatter, so kill them before they destroy you
