Guild Wars 2

I’m trying to find the best setup for the engineer that will allow me to survive multiple opponents attacking at once. As most of the structure PVP maps require us to capture and hold points. I decided to drop all damage stats and invest my points in toughness and vitality, also healing power. I find this style of play more rewarding when compared to the power, precision and condition damage builds.

So I decided to make a little video that shows my current setup in action, I would like to know ways that can improve upon the survivability of this build. Thank you

uh…. I dunno about structured PvP but Medkit + Bomb Kit + Tools trait line = You can pretty much run through everything in pve with bad gear and survive.

I do it all the time in orr when I’m farming for materials, dunno how it’ll work in sPvP

Yeah, I need that pvp wisdom.

Hey Frogjon.
I’ve been using this very aggressive sPvP build https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX4RrHO2s0g
Greandes are very effective and underwater it just kill everything. I was able to hold the ruin on http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Raid_on_the_Capricorn in almost all game.

I’m gonna look at your vids and build to try it out.

The link to your build shows an empty build. Please fix.

Will you dent anything though ?

Here’s a defense heavy build I’ve had pretty good success with…

Flamethrower/ elixer gun build that retains good power but also has strong defensive traits. Accelerant packed turrets is nice for helping clear a point along with the pushback from flamethrower and rifle. Elixer gun adds some utility and debuffs. The elixer B could be swapped out for personal preference with pretty much anything. Condition removal via healing turret or elixer gun light field. Damage is still pretty solid although your crit % is pretty low (you can use the Mesmer armor runes and swap out to berserker jewel to boost it a bit a the expense of a little toughness and hp’s)

All in all a pretty fun build and one of the more useful and solid builds I’ve played around with (and I’ve tried ALOT of different builds with my engineer)

durability alone does not help if you cant fight off your enemy. if you want a durable build go pistol shield condition damage: http://tinyurl.com/8h56z6t

1. if you fight 3vs1 then you are doing it wrong
2. it takes you too long to win a fight
