Guild Wars 2

Hey, I’ve created myself a build and would like more experienced people’s opinions on it. I am fairly new to the game, and my engineer is my first and only level 80 character. Lovin’ it by the way!

The build is for dungeon runs and is aimed for tanking/healing allies while dealing some kind of dps through bombs/toolkit.

Kind of sad that I didn’t really get swiftness in there, unless I went for Superior Runes of Centaur. There also ain’t any condition stats nor precision, is that a bad thing? I figured bombs are more for pure power. Rifle might be better option for a weapon? I chose P/S mainly for dual sigils.

Any kinds of tips, tricks, suggestions and constructive criticism are more than welcome.

Thank you in advance,

P/S is the way to go not only for double sigils, but for the blast finisher.

Bombs can go either way, but in PvE where confusion stacks could likely fall off before they’re consumed you’re probably better off going power. That being say you don’t need 30 pts in Explosives since you won’t be maximizing Short Fuse in a power build. Since it sounds like you want to be more healy you’re going to want to be using your blast finishers on water fields.

You could also drop Toolkit for Rocket Boots for another Blast Finisher.

Elixir infused bombs is the most overrated grandmaster trait. It is definitly useless. Use Healing turret + explo finisher if u like heal.

This is much much more worth then healing bombs.

Thanks alot for the tips, I’ll tweak my build accordingly. What I kind of am looking for is being able to deal damage & tank things, healing not being that important, so I’ll definitely try without the elixir-infused bombs. I also like the melee way, toolkit is quite fun and I enjoy bombkit alot. Wanting something different from the usual grenade spamming that I’ve ran for a while.
