Guild Wars 2

My friend plays his engi pretty casually and infrequently. We do a few dungeons and some trips into WvW. He enjoys creating chaos, and I think it’s most important that we make a build that’s fun for him. He likes the #3 hammer skill for scrapper, and we got him some perplexity runes when he was making a condi engi. So ideally the build below is both fun and reasonably effective. I would love feedback.

Notes:
- The rifle in the build is meant to represent the wrench. I just have it there to set some stats.
- The idea is that there’s a bit of hybrid damage here. Most of the damage should come from burning, bleeding and confusion, but the direct damage will be helpful (especially with a few might stacks, lots of vulnerability, and what should be a high effective crit chance)
- I envision him using purge gyro and shredder gyro as utilities
- For scrapper traits, I think probably Shocking Speed, Rapid Regeneration, and Final Salvo make sense.
- Biggest issue here seems to be out of combat mobility. I could see replacing bomb kit with wrench and taking streamlined kits like this to solve that problem http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFA0kUUhSuArXowWUgj4JGAjtxY8FA-TVSFABrpDAgLAgTKxCe/BKV/5JlBLp0ILlgJ/AAIEwi1A-w

I also realized that I had no stun breaker on this build. Would be neat if one of the gyros offered a stun break.

What are typically the best choices for stun breaks on Engi?

Elixir Gun will offer a gap opener and it’s Tool belt is a stun break. Slick Shoes is my favorite though, Knockdown fields on use and Tool belt is a stun break that gives Superspeed. Utility Goggles is a stun break that gives fury and immunity to blind and Tool belt is 10 stacks of vulnerability. Elixir S is a full invulnerability that breaks stuns and Tool belt is a stealth. That is all I can remember off the top of my head.

Thx much. Here’s a refinement with Slick Shoes and the Tools trait to give Utility Googles. Plus this version commits to condi damage and ignores trying to boost power at all. Any feedback? (Still assume hammer replaces rifle and purge gyro is the last utility slot). Thx!

Just curious if there is any way to translate the page to english. I clicked on the flag but it doesn’t change.

Change the url de. to en. and it should work
