Greetings folks,

I hope everyone is having a great weekend playing GW2.

I’m looking for a PVE Build (No Grenades)

A few things I am looking for…

1. A build with a focus leaning towards survivability.
2. Decent tagging ability for events.
3. Focus on Direct Damage over Condition.

Thank you for your time!

Use a flamethrower and a rifle, both hit a good amount of people. Do 10/30/0/30/0 or something similar, and you can go ahead and pick your other utility skills. I personally like elixir b coupled with the medpack for lots of fury & other boons.

For gear go toughness power and precision. Trait Juggernaut for extra toughness and might, the rest is really up to you!! This build should have you around 2500-2700 armor (idk the toughness #), ~19-20k health, with a great crit chance and a decent amount of power. If you want more survivability, take 10 points from somewhere and drop it into your last trait line and pick kit refinement coupled with the elixer gun. It will give you the ability to stack heals and make you very tough to kill.

Hope this helps, its what I used for a decent amount of my PvE leveling. Go to the mists and just screw around with gear/traiting for a while, i promise, you’ll find TONS of awesome builds by just doing that.

(edit) another thought, to ensure the most might at all times, make sure when you’re running around have the flamethrower out so might stacks. When your weapons are on cooldown, dont forget to switch back to flamethrower!!

Also, the stats are for a lvl 80 w/exotics so dont feel bad if you have trouble getting there at a lower level or non exotic gear.

These days I mostly run with the FT and EG kits using a 0/30/10/20/10 build. Means I get all the major traits that boost both the FT and EG while still maintaining a reasonable amount of survivability.

Skills: Elixir H, Elixir B, Elixir Gun, Flamethrower, Supply Crate.
Traits: Fireforged Trigger, Precise Sights, Juggernaut, Energized Armour, Fast Acting Elixirs, Deadly Mixture, Kit Refinement.

Armour wise I’d use the Power/Toughness/Vit karma set in Orr with a mixture of Knight and Berserker jewellery. If you’re not there yet then a Mixture of Knights and Valkyrie would give you a balance between survivability and offense.

The flamethrower will give you plenty of chance to tag mobs, as will using the EG’s Acid Bomb, while doing a reasonable amount of damage along with the chance of inflicting bleeding, vulnerability and the tick of burning damage at the end of flame jet.

OP Did you check the stickied build discussion thread ? They discuss builds that fit your criteria their.

Poor craftsman blame their tools. Poor players blame their Engineer.
