Guild Wars 2

I have only played engineer up to level 30ish (i think, maybe 40), it was very fun and I want to play him again. I took a break from GW2 for awhile, but am downloading it again right now.

I’m looking for tips on leveling and Engineer and builds that work well. What kind of stats will I need and what works good in PvE content. I don’t have much WvW experience, but it looks fun. How do eng’s stack up against other classes, what do I need to avoid and such.

Thanks in advance for any and all help given.

2 tools for speedy kits. take bomb kit, healing turret, and rocket boots.

use power/prec gear until you can use berserker gear.

dump any other traits points into explosives to up bomb kits dps, firearms to make your riffle bettar, or 2 moar tools to get speedy gadgets.

and if your rocket boots are off cd for a significant amount of time, you doin it wrong broski

have fun

A little explanation for insanemaniac’s suggestion:

During leveling you’ll be running around a lot. Being able to run faster speeds up boring errands, and overall speeds up leveling. That’s what Speedy Kits (Tools VI) is for.

The best leveling “weapon” for an Engineer is the Bomb Kit. If you use it make sure you kite your enemies, don’t just stand there and let them hit you; running around in circles works well.
Future traits and gear should improve Bomb Kit, meaning Power, Precision, Explosives (Power) and Firearms (Precision).

Rocket Boots (and Speedy Gadgets (Tools III)) are mostly used for faster traveling.
