Yesterday,after a long and pretty hard format of my computer(for tons of reasons) i’ve finally been able to get my hands on GW2 again,and i’ve seen engineers have been slightly buffed: kits now have a different way to scale,and they can be swapped in mid air,so i immediatly thought to this super-bunker build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqel0pyaX3SyF17IxoHfuzbOkiCbYRKyvlB;TgAA1CtoKyUkoIbRuikFB
It uses kits and it’s designed for PvP.
The purpose of this build is to keep yourself alive,while denying enemies control.
How it’s played and how it works:
I’ve chosen speedy kits,invigorating speed,adrenal implant,kit refinement,backpack generator to give me a 250% total endurance regeneration (so 150% bonus) with a 100% uptime,together with a 100% uptime of regeneration.
Also,healing mist,the elixir gun swap,and the super elixir will provide regeneration to nearby allies too.
Also,runes of lyssa and kit refinement will be a great pain for your enemies:providing both damage and healing while not even needing to attack by yourself!
Protection is given by protective shield,your elite and randomly by your Q,however this build isn’t based on protection,but on regeneration and dodging instead.
It is played by spamming your Q,to keep yourself mobile and apply vigor,then the best thing to do while in combat is to spam all the keys: it may not be effective to the max,but works pretty well even if you play blind.
However by using your skills correctly you’ll be able to outstand anyone:
to keep someone at a distance double tap your pistol 4 twice,use your pistol 3,swap to flamethrower,active the toolbelt skill 2,use the flamethrower skill 3 and 4,swap to toolkit,use toolkit 2,swap to medikit.
if the enemy attacks back (you’ll deal very little damage,so it will probably happen) pop your pistol 5,swap to flamethrower,flamethrower 5 and 2,swap to toolkit,toolkit 3 and 4,swap to medikit,swap to flamethrower,flamethrower 3,swap to elixir gun.
At this point,you can keep going by:elixir gun 2,toolbelt 3,fumigate,super elixir right behind you,then acid bomb,swap while in mid air to pistol,then swap to medikit.
The cooldowns are low,so you can just keep doing that over and over.
When an enemy can overcome you (generally happens when 3 or more thieves with hearthseeker build attack you) the best option is to run in circle around the capture point: if any enemy is trying to catch you,you’ll get much more survivability from that: dodges,blocks,heals and regeneration make a perfect way to gain time,additionally if you healed back you could swap to elixir gun and use acidic bomb,to be again in the face of your enemies ready to tank it all again.
Remember to save your pistol 4,5 and toolkit 4 for burst enemies,or dangerous situations.
Of course,dodge anything you can! while someone will dodge 2 times you can dodge 5 times! it’s almost a 100% uptime of dodge!
In case your team comes to aid the fight,drop the supply crate,swap to elixir gun,healing mist and super elixir: the result is yourself having all sort of buffs,with the enemies stunned and the allies having a huge heal over time ready to use.
What do you think about this build? how would you improve it? i’ve tried it a little yesterday and i’ve been pretty happy with the results.
First i’ve met a life steal warrior:the fight lasted up to 12 minutes then he stopped attacking me…lol
Then i’ve met a backstab thief…i didn’t even have to dodge to keep myself over 80% hp
And finally i’ve met a guardian and a bunker ele,both were a long fight,but i’ve been able to keep my control point.
I’ve had issues with a conditionmancer(cause i’ve forgotten about medikit 4) and two hearthseeker thieves,it was the only time i died.
