Guild Wars 2

Hello fellow engineers and people who aren’t engineers but like to check out this subforum!

(For all you people who are too lazy to watch the video, the ITM link is in the description of the video).

Most of you guys know me as Vöz and know that I LOVE to play bunker on my engineer. I currently play as an engi bunker for my team (still deciding on a name haha) and have beaten most of the top tier teams while running this build.
Now before you start copy-pasting my spec and replacing your guard, you should probably see what an engineer bunker can do better/worse than a guardian.

Pros:
~Much more frequent team condi removal.
~Can survive much longer in some circumstances. (against condi heavy teams)
~Can guarantee stomps.
~Much easier to get fast decaps with proper use of magnet.
*My personal favorite* ~You can pull enemies WAY out of position with magnet to setup burst for your team.

Cons:
~Much less access to team stability.
~Not as much team peels in some circumstances.
~More difficulty securing razz’s (If throw Elixir S get’s a wrong proc).

Alright, enough chatting, without further adu, I present to you…

sorry about the music being a little loud, kept having weird exporting issues which raised the volume of the audio tracks

Cheers and best of luck,
Vöz

Wow, no one else commented yet? Well I guess I’ll start by saying this build is kitten :P
+1, nice vid.

Very nice video m8. One thing though, about 1/2 through the music got loud and you got quite, made it hard to understand you.
Good job apart from that

Thanks man, really nice video. I have a couple of questions on your build though: elixir gun is very strong due to it’s healing and cond removal but I feel that the acid bomb sometimes takes me out of the point in those maps where the points are little (well, everywhere but graveyard). I tried the build with a guild mate and in open space he almost couldn’t take me below 90%, while fighting on the point i took a lot of damage due to the low mobility and the lack of knockbacks of the build.

I’m pretty new to bunker engi so i’m pretty sure it was my bad, i’m used to a bomb+flamethrower bunker build (and i feel the lack of cond removal there though). Any tips on how to increase my sustainability with your build? I kept using the gear shield on the toolking trying to time it against enemy bursts, avoiding elixir s when possible since it decaps the point.

Thanks!

Finding it impossible to find any success with this build. I feel like for whatever reason that I have 800 toughness when my character sheet clearly says 2300. Im getting bursted by people no problem.

A few questions/criticisms:

The Into the Mists calculator is showing a reduction in Elixir Gun cooldowns from Fast Acting Elixirs. The GW2 wiki says that FAE does not affect Elixir Gun slot skills. Which one is correct?

Nevermind, Into the Mists calculator is wrong. Only Fireforged Trigger is reducing the cooldown of Elixir Gun slot skills.

I believe that Reinforced Shield is far superior to Elite Supplies. The extra (Rifle) Turret is ineffective, and the 3K in extra healing (3 extra bandages) seems less useful than a 20% reduction in Shield cooldowns.

Speedy Kits is usually paired with Invigorating Speed allowing you to dodge twice as often. Dodging is considered a crucial component of engineer tanking. Why leave this out?

You only have 1 Elixir skill, yet took Fast Acting Elixirs over Invigorating Speed. (see previous question)

The Sigils and Runes seem fine.
