Guild Wars 2

I am here to teach you about the new Flamethrower…if you haven’t heard of this build already. I don’t know about the Engineer underworld so I don’t know if this is already fotm OPOP.

Build is pretty straightforward. You abuse the juggernaut to be the juggernaut and knock people off points.

But there are a few tricks you can learn. First off, always, at the start of every match, as the gate opens, use Incendiary Ammo. The duration is 45 seconds. You want to get the most out of it, and that means expending your stacks when 20s is left on the cooldown timer, meaning you can use it again really soon. Even if full marauder, its 900-1000 damage burn stacks for using the whole thing, which is easy with Flame Jet.

Second, use Med Pack Drop as you are walking INTO a fight. Do not use it DURING THE FIGHT. You need to prepare yourself before the fight happens, not as it is happening.

Third, and most important, the stability stacks on the juggernaut? The intereval operates on its on clock. What does that mean? It means if are halfway through your stack of stability, swap to rifle, hit 4, and swap back, in 1.5 seconds you will receive the second stack. The clock operates independent of what kit you are actually using. Make sense?

So what do you do with this build? Simple. You throw around elixirs to grant might and chase people like the w+m1 pyro you are. If you notice the enemy has no stability, swap to rifle, use 4 and blunderbuss, Jump Shot swap back and use Flame Blast and keep using Flame Jet. If you need to reflect something or knock someone off a point, use Air Blast.

Use Throw Elixir H off cooldown. Use throw Elixir B not only for yourself, but if you see an ally with no stability attempting a stomp, or allies with no stability if a Rampaging warrior is running amok. Elixir C and Throw Elixir C are great, use the Throw if you only have 3 conditions on you (which is a more common number than you would think), Drink elixir C if you have a lot of conditions on you, usually courtesy of a necromancer.

Try it out and tell me what you think. I’ve had some pretty good success with it in the past few days.
