Guild Wars 2

Hello there!

After playing mostly caster classes and their metas, I’ve decided to finally take a step into attempting to play an engineer. With that comes research and a try-and-fail mentality. However, I’d like to reach out to some people who already play the class, and what they’ve discovered in their time of playing it. I know the feature patch brought in some new changes so I’m tentative to build search when I don’t know the last time it was actually updated.

For that reason I’m making a suggestion request! I’m looking for PvE builds that people enjoy with their engineers. Things that are functional in open world, dungeons, and fractals. A link for observation is preferred but not needed. Tell me why you prefer this build.

I’m going to ask people play nicely in here. I’m looking for assistance, not battle of the opinions. <3

2/0/6/6/0 – Givers, Boon turret/Field abuse engie.

I run obv healing turret, Thumper, Rifle, and Flame turret.
Pistol/shield.

The basic idea is to blast fields and give stupid amounts of boons/heals to party members. You can burst heal by blasting all your turrets, you can throws down nalpam before summoning your flameturret and use it with its own field to blast 15 stacks of might.

and if you leave the turrets up, you get kitten near 100% up time on fury/several stacks of might, and 50% up time of prot/vigor. Not to mention BUTTLOADS of regen that is quite strong.

Build isnt for everyone of course, but its one of my personal favorite builds to play. Its very un meta, so be warned, this wont get you into LFGs.

Also, some traits that I like to swap out,

Auto healing turrets→ Elite supplies(if I am blasting my turrets alot, I dont bother letting them repair themselves)

And if going the blasting route, you also dont need rifle barrels, so swap it for reflective shields for clutch “we need reflect now” moments, then blast it for effects.

Here’s exactly what I use.

It has it all. Damage, survivability, control, support and I find it rather enjoyable to play.
