Guild Wars 2

Hello…not level 80 yet, but I spend a lot of my time on sPvP. I like kits, so I have been using this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fdAQJAqelUUpErtbxPLseNSaBNq0I6Qulk85JEgnC, but I am not an expert or anything, so what do you guys think? Thanks.
Edit: Fixed the link.

You’ve forgotten to do armour XD But yes you’re build is actually quite meta at the moment. You’ll want to go for a full rabid set of armour. Instead of forceful explosions or short fuse, swap one of them out for Shrapnel. I’d say drop the 2 points in alchemy as Deadly mixture won’t help in a condi build, put them into firearms and grab fireforged trigger. That’s about all I can critic
Here is a link to a youtube video of a guy using pretty much the same build:

Wow, I’m a pro (just kidding)…but what is rabid armour? the only rabid thing I could find was the amulet…also, why wouldn’t deadly mixture help in a condi build? I do like fireforged trigger, though. And what’s so great about shrapnel with a 15% chance? I will modify the build though, thanks.
Edit: Oh, rabid is for WvW. I was talking about sPvP. However, I will try WvW when I get to 80, so still a helpful gear tip.

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

First in a condi build, you need Incendiary Powder! You need it! You need need need need need it! It’s an amazing trait! At longer ranges, it’s very easy to dodge grenades! Instead you ckittene your Elixir Gun or pistol autos to proc Incendiary Powder!

There’s nothing amazing about Shrapnel! But with the Incendiary Powder nerf, it’s the best trait to take in that tier if you take Grenade Kit unless you run bombs! Then you take Forceful Explosives!

Deadly Mixture is not that great in a condi build! First, percentage bonus increases only affect power damage! In a condi build you don’t have a lot of power! Pointless! Second, in your setup you only use Elixir Gun! Elixir Gun does very little damage anyway! You are better off running Protection Injection! It’s a thuper powerful defensive trait!

Here is the final build that I recommend!

Hope that helped! Wahoo! Bye frands!

PS: cann use without the extra n is censored on these 4ums because of what I assume is for the word for the hole that poopy comes out of! That’s just thilly! You know what’s even thillier! The fact that there’s a censor at all! I mean this is a game where the primary objective is to perform genocides on various wildlife to enlarge your wallet! You also gather a bunch of frands together so you can brutally murder other people to gain monetary rewards! All while drinking alcohol! But say a word for a piece of the human body and BAM BANNED!

Yeah listen to Vee Wee, he seems eccentric at times but knows his stuff.
But don’t underestimate that shrapnel. 3 grenades means 3 chances to crit. Check out the guys build in the youtubes, he’s got a good setup

3kit is pretty meta. Though I personally much prefer Tool Kit over Grenade Kit. That block is a life saver, and the magnet is very useful.

Anyway, I think you have too many points in Alchemy. No need for Deadly Mixture (or any trait in the 6 point slot, really). I’d drop it down to 4 points.

I also prefer Protection Injection over Backpack Regenerator. Really helps against CC burst builds (Hammer Warriors especially), much more than the piddly regen does.

I’d take those 2 points out of Alchemy and put them into Firearms for Hair Trigger. It’ll allow you to tag them with Confusion every time your other cooldowns are ticking.

I’d definitely take out Grenadier in favor of Incendiary Powder.

I’m getting back into the game again and wanted to ask: with regard to three kit, are there any viable builds that utilize the rifle instead of pistol? And are there any power based spvp builds, or is it all condition based for engi?
