Guild Wars 2

Hey there all. Was playing around with my engineer in HOTM and decided to try something. Just to see if I could I set out to make a build using hte flamethrower that would allow me to reach 25 stacks of might by auto attacking. Something I thought to be crucial to doing decent damage over rifle auto after the upcoming buffs. Wierd thing is….it worked?

I used a 0-4-4-6-0 build taking experimental turrets at the end of the alchemy line.
I then applied a sigil of strength and frailty along with a knights amulet and strength runes. I originally inteded to pop supply crate for a double might boost from the flame turrets but after it expired I realized my auto attack and one flame turret with a rifle turret for fury was keeping me at 23-25 stacks of might without any need for it.

So out of curiosity. What ways could yall see of improving a build based around this concept? Keeping in mind the upcoming changes of course. Now that ive started PvPing with it Im really starting to enjoy it o.O so id like to find a way to make it better.

Please post any opinions or ideas you have ^.^

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

Use Celestial over Knights! It does more damage, gives more regen, and gives condi damage for your burning! Swap Frailty for Doom! There is so much sustain in the meta that you’ll want poison to be able to kill things! You can also swap to Energy if you have problems surviving! Frailty is an overall poor choice!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

Thanks for the reply ellesee appreciate it. I see what your saying about the doom sigil and Ill give it a shot. luckily I havnt had much problems staying alive but ill keep the idea for the energy sigil on standby just in case.

Edit: and the celestial amulets a good idea. Ill test it out ^.^

Hello Frands! Handarand here! #1 Engi EU and world first rank 10!

I’m sick of seeing that, but some people want to drag attention of other people by beeing annoying recognizable if they not doing anything special!

“Forum fame” is such a big social advantage!(sarcasm)

Oh and it’s actually second account that posts this “Hallo Frands” on forum.
Although he had some nice posts.

Wahoo! Bye frands!

kitten O.o if yall are just gonna hop into the post to bash someone you coulda atleast left some ideas or opinions.

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

There seem to be many unfrandly people here!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

I always hated engi! BUT once I found this build
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fdAQJAqelcTp6q1ax+KseNSdBNqoA6AUguK6aEjfA-TJhFwADOBAAeAAj2fYaZAA
I couldnt stop playing it for the longest time. played it for quite awhile now and still the only reason why I like engi

I adjust it depending on enemies

ZERK hits hard! and might makes you a condi beast too!

Thanks for hte link Hurtappl Ill try it out next time im on :P.

Yea it was fun first day after they made rank 80 for everyone but now its awkward:-)

Personality counts. Biggest one on this forum. The ability to instantly find a Vee Wee post helps. I don’t really think she takes it as seriously as you might think.
And the advice is solid (mostly) if sometimes a bit terse.

Ideas:

Celestial is better frankly.
I like stacking both burn and bleed with my FT builds versus burn and might.
Doom is great if you otherwise are not adding poison. But, I like to swap out of kits EVEN if using FT to stack. Bleeds come from all your kits so it is a bit more versatile.

Haha! I seriously think you’ve got those two repeatables on a doc somewhere so you can copy paste it.

That’s similar to what I run, but your angle is interesting. This is what I run. I’m curious which version is better, or if there is a “better” or “worse.” My version is just straight up power dmg while yours has the condi angle. I feel like all those condis would make Celestial a better fit for you.

Only reason I have the condis is because I like pistol/ shield better then rifle

Plus with each condi I put on them it increases the damge by 2%. Pistol number 3 does like 3k damage so I use it as an opener, blind them, then proceed to flame thrower them with lolz.

Oh yeah and pistol #1 is like AoE 1k

Im not really trying to condi them down but with all that might sometimes it just happens

But I will try celes to see what happens. I tryed many amulets and zerk could kill the fastest imo. That detonate flame blast CRIT is what my engi lives for!

I’m looking forward to when we can use the Flame Jet as our AA instead of the pistol/rifle.

Agreed burr. I have a whole lot of things I want to try thatl use rifle primarily as a control/burst weapon instead of my “bang……bang….bang….bang…” weapon

Hey I’m returning to Eng for the first time in half a year. Please can you let me know what rotation you use with this build?

If the enemy hasn’t seen you, Throw Elixir S then B, if they have seen you just B. I used to open with Net Shot but smart enemies quickly figure out what that means, so I go right into the Blunderbuss and Charged Shot. Since you used Toss Elixir B you won’t be knocked back and you can hit with both the jump and the landing of Jump Shot. While in mid jump you can swap to FT and use Flame Blast. If they aren’t dead wait for the heal and Air Blast them.

After that initial burst you can constantly use Blunder and Blast to keep the DPS up.
