Posted this on the Spvp forum but I figured since this is an engi build I should try it on the engi forum. I have been testing it out for a few days and it is, to quote the number 1 engi NA, Thuper fun!

Yessir the;
Mightstackin’!
Shop-wreckin’!
Mama-Smackin’!
World-beatin’!
Pudd-Poundin’!

Stack the might high with Juggernaut(blasting napalm) and Alchemy XIII Flame turret trait and sigils then switch over to nades to unleash hell. I can keep my mightstacks 20-25 for a high percentage of the battles.

I know the first thing your gonna see is the lack of balthazer runes.. But with strength runes I am able to keep my might stacks from juggernaut, Flame turret and Sigiles for like forever. With my mightstacks at 20-25 nearly permanently my burns are ticking at 700-900 and my bleeds are all over the place… 400 here 700 there 16oo here 1100 there. And My physical damage isn’t too shabby either from flame jet, nades and Rifle.

Please try this booger before you just pooh pooh it. It was fun and I did pretty well with it.

What is this build supposed to be used for?

It has bad mobility due to no speed buffs (needed for roaming) and no stunbreaks or blocks (needed for point defense).

I hate when people link gw2skills.net and it takes me to the german site, which google then crappily translates. >.<

Its for Spvp. And yes I DO feel the lack of swiftness I am missing from speedy kits. This can be a point defender. I try to make up for lack of stun breaks with Protection Injection which is such a great trait. I don’t have blocks but I do have a decent blind uptime. The idea is too keep the enemy at range as much as possible via overcharged shot/air blast then net shot followed by my nades volley.

The way I was having success with this build was to go mid and stay on the fringe near LOS spots (so the ranger meta didn’t eat my lunch) in FT while blasting and stacking my might up. As soon as I hit 20-25 stacks I switch to nades and unloaded. After the mid fight was won I would head home and help our bunker if he was in trouble or do whatever else needed doing.

I can play this as a home defender too but I would probably switch out to this build so I could be really hard to kill.

I can roam pretty good with this build too. I just cant maintain the same amount of mightstacks

I know! But I cant take Grenadier, Juggernaut and Experimental Turrets
I don’t want to drop Juggernaut because I might as well not bother with flamethrower as the whole point of it is to get me max mightstacks.
Experimental Turrets..I can drop this but that constant might regen really helps me keep the stacks high. And again if I don’t take the trait I might as well not take the turret…and I like the turret. The added fire damage is nice and the smoke field helps me in a lot of ways both defensively via blinds and blasting for stealth, and in stomping. I guess I could do something like this
