Hello frands! Vee Wee here #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80! I am posting from my frand’s account!
I’d like to share with you a build I’ve been testing with pretty good results though I will admit I haven’t really played against a quality team yet in queues! Also gw2skills.net isn’t updated so you’ll have to use some imagination! Here is the build my frands!
Now the obvious thing you’ll notice is that the build doesn’t have a stunbreaker! That’s probably the biggest flaw but with the hambow nerf in addition to this build being tankier than the standard condi engi builds, I think it will be ok!
This build has a lot of CC! It has two turret knockbacks along with shield knockback and stun as well as Magnet from tool kit! And that’s not even counting Supply Crate turret destruction knockbacks! That’s a lot of CC my frands! The build is also able to stack a lot of might! First you have Sigil of Battle! Then placing Flame Turret grants 3 stacks of might from the new trait, Experimental Turrets! You also have 3 blast finishers and a fire field though obviously those are quite situational!
Feedback of all kinds will be great! Leave them here! Wahoo! Bye frands!
Okay I tried this build in sPvP, however substituting in Krait runes, as well as Bomb kit – it’s condi burst is absolutely brilliant. It is pretty much a 1v3 build due to the vigour uptime from the healing turrets, and the might from the flame turrets. The utility from the bomb kit from the blind field, as well as the flame turret were really useful in stopping classes that made use of high burst. I would say the strength of this build is being able to quickly decap any point, though it weakens slightly when defending. The runes of the Krait 6th effect was really powerful in combination with Supply crate as it effectively put Poison, Torment, Immobilise, Burning, and Bleeds on the foe immediately.

Thanks for the feedback my frands! I’m glad some of you played and enjoyed the build and I’m glad you modified it to your own personal tastes! Wahoo!
Anyway I’d like to throw Elixir Gun in there there as a possible alternative to Tool Kit! Focusing someone with weakness while your grenades are on cooldown is a great way to get a kill (since weakness halves endurance regeneration if you didn’t know), especially since the influx of rookie PvE players into PvP! The amount of double dodges I see is just thilly! And Elixir Gun has a stun break! The trade off is you’ll get wrecked by immobilize since you don’t have the thuper strong Tool Kit block!
And I’d also like to throw in Thumper Turret as another alternative to Tool Kit! This was Chaith’s idea and it works really well! Thanks Chaith, also #1 Engi NA! Thumper Turret has a long cooldown, but while it’s up you have 40% Protection up time! Thumper Turret also has more CC when you overcharge and provides a stun break! A notable thing I did today was place flame turret at the gate entrance on Skyhammer! Then I placed a Thumper Turret and Healing Turret in a path to the drop! Someone came in and I chain detonated turrets and watched him fall down to his death! It was the greatest thing ever! What a shame I didn’t get on stream my frands, which you can find here @ http://twitch.tv/Livskis!
