So …. I was bored and was just kitten ing around playing random builds. and I started using one that was actually kind of fun, did a decent amount of damage, has the same vuln stacking as the typical nade builds, has a bunch of blasts and a fire field in tool belt (flame turret toolbelt skill)

Here’s the build:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fdAQFAUlUUpqqlYxmKseNSbBNyw8GQeiJ85HEgjC-ThRBABXt/o8DPdAPcBAA4BAQp6PmpEMAwBwv/GA87vL/7y/WKA9UaB-e

I know what you are thinking. “Turrets in pve, LOL this guy’s a scrub” but hear me out for a second x.x

I have flame and rifle turrets because of static discharge mainly, you will be pretty much spamming tool belt skills off of cooldown and they will be on cd a decent amount of time (25s on Napalm, and 8s on Suprise shot), instead of just waiting for them to come off of cd, drop a turret so there is a little bit of extra dps for a bit of time, plus a decent burst when they blow up.

Pay attention to your turrets and have a mental clock for your cooldowns, if you think a cooldown is almost finished for your toolbelt or a turret is about to die, blow that kitten up.

*Healing*If you start running low on hp and need a strong burst heal, use the same 6-6-f1 spam quickly for the water blast… BUT now you have extra blasts if you have other turrets up and more heals for your party.
Also, the f1 toolbelt skill for healing turret is a water field, press that (an extra SD will go off too), then blow up a turret for a water blast.

might stacking this build, with correct timing and a bit of pre combat weapon/skill swapping can stack 15 might. all you have to do is.. equip a shield, and change grenades to bomb kit, equip your bomb kit and place all of your turrets close together, drop big ’ol bomb, then drop your bomb 2 skill for a fire field, once it erupts, blast your shield 4 skill, your big bomb will go off, and blow up all of your turrets, thats 5 blasts so 15 might then just quickly swap back to nades and rifle and murder stuff.

aoe stealth dont have a thief? or their shadow refuge is on cooldown? no problem .. do the same thing as the might stacking but with smoke bomb and boom 15s of stealth

afk mode swap grenades to rocket turret, place all turrets, swap traits around and get Autotool instalation (inventions X), drop your care package, then go to the rest room, go get a drink, whatever. (very useful for some of those tedious hearts, and if you need to do a bit of house work)

sidenote, i put this build as a pve build, but once you get your timing right, its pretty decent in sPvP and WvW roaming (bursty glass cannon), its pretty good in WvW zerging simply because you have 1500 vuln stacking spamnades, and ofc the prestacking might or swiftness

Seems a bit weird to give up 2 points in firearms just for Static Discharge for a pve build, you’d be better off moving those points to firearms for Target the Maimed and Modified Ammunition. And why use the Flame Turret instead of the FT kit? It has a blast finisher as well, plus a fire field that lasts 10 seconds rather than 3 seconds, a knockback and an instant cast blind.

I think youre gimping yourself with those turrets. Engi has far better choices for SD than napalm, so youre basically running this for 1 extra explo finisher, which simply isnt worth it. Remember you have a party, anyone can blast your combofields and any descent player will do.

And for pvp, this cant be viable. You dont even run a stun break nor any defense at all. Any thief will instgib you without a chance to react, other non bunkers will this do as well.

Sry for honesty, but i think its a very bad build. SD isnt real good for pve anyway, except for open world trash mobs, thats where it really shines.

No reason for an apology lmao .. I knew it was a bad build .. hence the [ ] in the title .. just thought it was pretty fun so I thought I’d share.

but fyi, it can work in PvP. Viable is a horrible word. And if a thief can burst me down without me noticing him and taking him out first, good for him, but 99% of thieves are predictable, most classes that can “instagib” are predictable tbh

but its still expiremental even for a kitten build

also, yeah I changed out flame turret for FT kit, forgot the gw2skill link was made before I swapped it
