Guild Wars 2

So after getting rofl stomped over and over trying to run heavy power focused builds in wvw i finally went back to the full Dire scavenger build and it was great, tanks like a Tank moves like a Learner driver in a fast car and hits like a thousand wet paper bags, this video features some good wins an epic fail and some losses against stupid situations but i gave it my all anyway.

biggest tip i can give is Static shot (pistol #3) is never used for the confusion its used for the aoe blind which is a life saver.

Without watching the video, why scavenger runes?
Tried them,but theyre still bugged (4th piece bonus doesnt work each time one of the pieces gets damaged, have to un- and reequip everything everytime to make it work again)

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

Scavenging runes gives incredible sustain especially if you combine it with Leeching Sigil! These effects are extremely noticeable in a 1v1! Combined with the innate tankiness of condi Engis plus its already high sustain and large boost of condi damage that the runes give you, Scavenging runes are a great choice!

Hope that helped! Wahoo! Bye frands!

well that bug aside, scavenging mixed with dire gear and 20 into the alchemy line gives you a huge boost to condition damage, and as veewee said the extra sustain you get from the runes is quite significant and a bit of random trivia for you, running a full dire engineer with maximum boosts to condition damage and stacks you can get to a base amount of 2400+ condition damage with no might making it the highest condition damage build in the game and having one of the best tanks around.

I only got about half way through because I gotta head out soon, but from what I saw I’d really recommend working on your water combos, it’d even further supplement your sustainability. I saw quite often when you would get low you’d use Rocket Boots to get away, then follow up with a Healing Mist or Healing Turret > Cleansing Burst > Detonate. Just switching the order around a bit would get you an extra 1,320 health.

Healing Mist > Rocket Boots
Cleansing Burst > Detonate > Rocket Boots

Other than that, enjoyably gameplay; I haven’t roamed with that kit set up, so it was interesting to watch.

those combos you say i actually pull of heaps when im using a rifle with jump shot but i havnt used rocket boots in ages so i was a little docile on what i was doing with them alot of the time, and majority of the video was filmed in the 3 hours after i set the build up so i wasn’t practiced or thinking about that with rb but definitely something anyone who tries this build should keep in mind
