Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone!

Like some, the Turrets drew me to this wonderful, sleeper class. I was immediately drawn to the Thumper Turret, but, like many, saw how little it was utilized.

Well, with the new patch, I have a build that has been alot of fun

This build provides for the “WHOA. WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU’RE GOING?!” type of player, who likes to keep control of the field for not only himself, but for his allies.

This is a build used primarily for WvW.

I have the Runes of Melandru because I noticed that Conditions are the worst. All gear is Power/Vitality/Toughness. Amulets, Rings, and Accessories are P/V/T, with a mix of Chrysocola Exquisite Jewels/Crests of the Soldier. Backpiece is Koss on Koss Ascended with Toughness Infusion, Ring is Lost Seal of Usoku with Agony Infusion(I know. Doesn’t affect anything outside of Fractals )

With the Thumper Turret dealing out Cripple, the Toolbelt Net, Net Shot(from Rifle), and the Net Turret, you get 15 stacks of Vulnerabilty right there. This build also involves using your turrets as Pivot Points for you and your squad. Drop Box of Nails and use Magnet when Possible, and you CONTROL the FIELD for you and your pals

Anyway, lemme know what you think. I find this to be fun, as I ran it pre-patch(used Utility Goggles instead of Thumper Turret, with Pistol/Pistol for Glue Shot.)

Nice crowd control build, especially with the huge buff to the Thumper Turret. I would personally switch Sitting Duck out for Knee Shot, though.

Thanks for the tip regarding Knee Shot. I decided to stick with my Dual Pistols…and man. WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. The Cripple effect is practically PERMANENT!

My fellow Engineers of NERF are rolling with Assault Turrets(Rocket, Rifle) so that sets them up nicely. Also having the Supply Crate drop is nice too, especially with the Rifle Turret)

Again, thank you for the feedback, darkace.8925!

No problem.

I didn’t realize you’d be rolling with fellow engineers. Let me know how your control turrets synergize with their assault turrets.

Is it just me or is that the worst build calculator ever?

It’s a rather new PvE build calculator so it has trinkets and armor not found in other calculators which makes it much more useful to WvW than the PvP build calculators. The interface does need some work though.
