Guild Wars 2

Before I throw down the gold to craft a sinister set, is there any use of it with scrapper?

Hammer appears to be heavily based around power/prec/ferocity, I don’t quite see the synergy between sinister with scrapper and hammer that’s previously been seen with vanilla engineer with a few kits behind it.

I threw together this: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQJAqelUUhSsYtWwPLQ7FLGGFdj/4VO46Ff7UYAcf7FA-TxxHABEp8zl9Hm9BAMo6PAcCAMTPwTKBBA-e but it looks awful.

Scrapper Traits + P/P, not hammer.

Sorta like the build you posted.

It is not awful.

In fact it is EXACTLY the build used by one of the teams who successfully defeated the Raid Boss.

There is range combat benefits for scrapper tree as well for P/P, P/Shield, and Rifle users.

Adaptive Armor, Mass Momentum, and Recovery Matrix can be useful as defensive traits for range combat.

Plus, if Gyro’s get some improvements to AI/health, there are a few good gyro options for ranged condi/hybrid builds.

Shredder + fire-field for burn stacking, Sneak for stealth. Even Blast-gryo can be handy, I found a PP condi scrapper could use the blast gryo to better land blowtorch or CC during condi-ticks; and the super speed utility is alright too.
