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!
