Guild Wars 2

What do other Charr engineers think about Hidden Pitsols? I really enjoy using it when I’m just out in the world exploring, but I’ve kept it out of dungeons so far because I wasn’t sure how it stacked up to other damage sources.

The damage on the main ability is basically nonexistent and is just useful as an evasion, but the toolbelt ability seems to dish out some decent damage. Also Sigil of Intelligence seems to effect all 8 shots, although maybe I’m just missing something (new player)

Sorry if this has been asked, I tried using the search feature but it seems broken or something.

Back in the days it was really cool in SD builds but they nerfed it into ground

Ah that’s a shame, so it’s generally sub-optimal in any build?

jupp, same with sharapnel mine and that one shout.

the artillery strike is somewhat okayish for bombing walls in WvW, but suffers from really short range and long cd.
the charrzooka is fine, but #5 (with its minimum range) is kinda hard to land. together with net-turret is is a whole lot more effective. and #2 (or was #3 the chain cc? can’t remember) + #4 is fun to plow trough a zerg with it.

and the 2 npcs?
welp, never really used them, but I guess they are as effective as shadow-army, so only useful with venom-sharing on a thief. I really don’t know about them, never tested them since I don’t like the idea of AI-companions getting me into combat on random (a left behind supply-crate is already annoying enough on that regard)
