Hey Engineer Forums! Long time no see!

It have been over a year since I stopped playing GW2, only logging in every now and then to see what was going on! But back I am, and with the upcoming expansion I have plenty to see to!

I used to do WvW videos when I still played, and figured I wanted to record my progress getting back into the game again!
Before I stopped I was wishing for full celestial armor, because I was certain that could be really intrestring to play with, and now we have it! So hence I have spent the last month getting the gear!

So here is the video!

The traits are a classic bomb build:

Found out I prefer running the bomb kit over the grenades, and I am also using double pistol! It feels like the better option, in special when I’m in a 1vsX situation. This means I have 2 different burning skills + Inc. Powder, so I can keep burning up most of the time, yes please!

In the build I use rune of the defender, and I love it

Note that bonus 2 actually apply 2 seconds of regen and the 6th bonus is healing me for about 4500 every 30 second.

For sPvP I think Rune of Scavening might be a fun option, but haven’t tested it, so I’m not sure about that.

My sigils are Intelligence and Cleansing (Condi removal on swap, 9 sec cd)!
Leeching might be a good option aswell, for even more sustain!

While I play a lot worse then I did back when I was at my prime, the build still makes me a 1vs1 powerhouse that most people can’t even scratch.
With all the passive healing from Backpack regenerator, permanent regeneration uptime, super elixir, water field blasting, Rune bonus 6 and Healing Turret, is the sustain of the build out of the roof!
So far the only thing that’s a real threat is CondI Thiefs, CondiMesmer’s and Condi Necromancer, which are the usual suspects when playing Engineer. But the build still have a solid chance against them, where I win 80% of the time.

The video is showing a lot of 1vs1 fights, quite a few more then I normal would, but I wanted to show just how dominant the build is in these situations.
But as stated, I kinda suck now, a lot of balance changes have gone by since I last played, so I have much to catch up on to get back in prime! Also, Rangers is now the #1 annoying pestilence in 1vsX Situations!

Anyway! Hope you enjoy! Feel free to ask any questions!
I plan to make more videos, where I will be back to primarly will do 1vsX fights, that’s just more my style!

holy kitten those runes of the defender are insane, did you find many stalemate situations with this build? the sustain is great but i imagine anything that packs the same sustain would end in a stalemate since the lack of high power/condition damage from celestial?

also welcome back.

The runes are pretty insane yeah :-D But no I actually have yet to run into a stalemate! The worst are really good celestial dagger/dagger elementalist! But the build got a decent amount of poison, even more if you go with grenades, so you will bring people down eventually! tho most fights will take longer, buts thats the price for highet defence and sustain hehe :-)

And thanks, its gopd to be back!
