Guild Wars 2

Anyone know of any decent / viable rifle setups? be it pure power, or hybrid? Been playing hammer scrapper for about 8 months now and looking for a change.

I know it won’t be “as good” or “meta” but im not concerned with that.

That is the build i am currently looking at and found posted somewhere on here.

For what? PvE? PvP? WvW?

Check the perma-quickness elixir build… Its quite fun.

Sorry i did not specify. I am looking for something for WvW.

Hey!
I have several builds for WvW! Do note that these builds are off-meta, since engineer isn’t in meta for WvW at all, but it still can be effective and fun!

Backline:

The idea of this build is that you stay on the side, preferably with a few other ranged ones (Mesmer for example). You use is to focus the backline, killing them one by one while you commander engages with the rest of the group, creating a distraction for you to attack relatively safely.

Frontline engineer:

In this case you are a frontline; yes with rifle. You rifle is great engage damage! Use jump shot to engage, following you commander followed up by a blunderbuss. Here’s where you get you won options as I left 2 skill spots open:
- Thumper turret for AoE stability rip and damage + Stunbreak
- Mine for (toolbelt) AoE damage + boon rip
- Elixir B for stability and other boons (If you zerg lacks the boons)
- Elixir S if you die alot

You might also like a different healing skill on this build, I just find AED fitting. You can also disengage leaving damage with Acid Bomb (EG #4). If you stay in the same position for a longer time, maybe try bomb kit auto attack with explosives line instead of tools line.
If you team lacks enough swiftness, swap to streamlined kits in Tools.

Many things you can do!

Have fun mate,
Greetings, Fvux
