Guild Wars 2

The Build

So, experimented with a HGH Power build in sPVP which had surprisingly usable results, with a nice amount of upfront burst and hard hitting grenades once the might stacks got going. However, is this build usable outside of sPVP, or am I just going up the wrong tree with HGH power. I’ve played HGH conditions before and that works well, but I was wondering if the power equivalent was possible.

I can set up a good amount of burst with Toss Elixir + Rifle/Grenades, but it doesn’t necessarily have the amount of control that a 3-kit build could have with bomb kit in rotation.

Tips, criticisms?

yes it works outside of spvp with considerable more damage because you’ll have double the crit damage.

we need stickies to stop this nonsense :/

just a heads up, if you use toss elixir S with acidic elixir -as you do in the build linked-, you might have a hard time stealthing with it.

Honestly hgh is outdated with the modified ammo buff.
i personally find the engineer has much better might stacking options.
i haven’t taken anything in alchemy and can still get 18+ might when needed.
check my sig for the build.

you can’t reduce an elixir build to hgh and might stacking alone.

I played a lot with power condi 2 or 3 kit builds (P/S) and i found them really very good. For trying something different i moved on berserker amulet , HGH ,bomb and rifle and i have to confirm that elixirs builds are really viable. it seems to me that eng is one of the prof more easy to play with elixir becouse you have good damage but you don’t lose too much survability ( I played elementalist fresh air build (with s/D ) for a lot also, it is really powerfull but you have no defense at all . I find that bers engi can survive better than bers guardian for exampe.
