Guild Wars 2

Hey. Just finished levelling my engineer and loving it for PvE and WvW. Thinking about taking it to PvP now.

What PvP options are available now that turrets no longer work? I’m thinking of rifle with grenade/toolkit/elixir S but have no idea about amulets/traits/sigils etc…

Any suggestions appreciated.

Cele – this is almost exactly what you described.

Elixir S is good, but Slick Shoes is more popular atm, it’s just OP.

Nice, thanks. Vampire runes are not something I would ever have considered using. I shall give it a go.

The old meta was to use sigil of battle and rune of hoelbrak to keep a good amount of might. After all, you are always changing kit. But with the last nerf to both the sigil of battle and might, this option isn’t as valuable as it used to be.

The main appeal of rune of vampire is both the leeching and the mist form. As a brawler you are suppose to stay alive a bit longer in team fight and the leeching help a bit. You usually want to rotate through your defensive ability to keep you alive and they are all relatively low cooldown, that mist form is usually just enough to keep you alive for your need heal, blast or tool kit block to come out of cd.

Btw. It’s one of the most difficult build to play early one. Don’t give up. You have several kits and rotation to learn and even healing you can be hard to master. But the versatility that it give you is amazing. Once you master your different kits, you will see that you have always a skill for the situation and it’s an amazing feeling

As Thaddeus said leeching from vampirism adds some nice bonus to both dmg and sustain while the Mist Form makes the build even more forgiving than it is. You can just keep ressing/stomping without worrying about getting cleaved down and works as a jail free card against perfectly coordinated power based burst without requiring any effort on your side.
