I love the engineer…and I love melee, and something about thwacking people with a wrench really appeals to me.

I know the tool kit isn’t the most viable for leveling or anything for that matter because it doesn’t do that much damage and it’s in melee range, lowering survivability.

But if I were to do it anyway…which I most likely will…what should I build with it?

I’m assuming for other utility skills…healing turret, thumper turret, and…either net turret or rocket turret. And supply crate.

Then should I build primarily power? Or toughness?

And what about traits? I assume going down the tools line to get power wrench, but what else?

OR is there any way of building a wrench build without turrets? I’m assuming no, but it doesn’t hurt to ask.

I strongly recommend giving https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/The-TANKCAT-build-Prybar-some-faces/first a look. Not only because it’s the funniest thing you’ll read and/or watch today but also because it’s a pretty good guide to pretty much exactly what you seem to be looking for.

What makes you say it doesn’t do much damage?

TK, discharge, and rifle turret. (yes rifle..)

Focus on power.
TK itself will do well. The extra bouncing damage from wrench and rifle (10s CD on rifle’s toolbelt skill), is pretty strong.

Since it does put you into melee, you do probably want some defense. that has several options.
Pairing with alch will give hp, boons, etc. pairing with inventions, give toughness, +healing. maybe a bit of both.
Gear power first. Zerker accessories. main armor. still power focused, but some vit/toughness to make up for any lack elsewhere.

Haha! That is EXACTLY what I was looking for, thank you!

But will it hold up in PvE well? The point of Tankcat is to not die, and people will kill themselves due to retaliation…but I’m looking to level. Mobs don’t do burst damage. xD
