Don’t play other specs (decap, turret) as there is already too much filth polluting GW2 PvP….
As someone who mains engi, plays engi more than any other class, and have done so through all the lows, I personally am going to milk Engi Turret Bunker builds for all thier worth. If that makes me a terrible human being, so be it! I consider comments of “I hate you” from my opponents to be the highest form of praise :P
Anyway, here’s a turret bunker build, it might not be the “best” but I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of it:
That being said, it is still worth working your way to one of the multi-kit builds hihey has mentioned once you’ve gotten used to kit swapping and toolbelt skills, as once you’ve mastered them they usually give you a more even survival rate across most builds you’ll face: any staff ele with half a brain will spam AoEs to quickly deprive you of your turrets and leave you defenseless, and even with all the fixes to turret AI and targeting (as yes, there have been fixes, that wasn’t a joke) it’s still very easy to waste a critical overcharge on a mes clone that was meant for the mes.
I recently made an engineer, but I’m completely clueless about the build for PvP. Does anyone know what build is good to use?
My friend, don’t worry about the so-called ‘meta’. I’ve played a lot of builds since release & I’ve always stuck with flamethrower & elixir gun builds, not to take away from grenades/bombs, BUT that’s what works for me. Flamethrower builds have been hated on & taken to the cleaners here in the forums about their ‘uselessness’ & ‘viabillity’. I’ve kindly responded by smoking every class in hotjoin/tpvp, you name it I’ve smoked it, eles, mesmers, warriors, necros, thieves, guardians, rangers & engineers.
My main point of the response is, enjoy what you play NOT what’s popular or the flavor of the month ‘meta’ build. If you enjoy something, you’ll naturally do better. Just because a build is efficient doesn’t mean it’s the best.
