Guild Wars 2

Hi guys, I’m trying out many builds atm, and now I want to try rifle builds. What stats do you guys run (if anyone does) in PvE and WvW as a Rifle Eng? Full berzerker or a mix of Berzerker and Knights in WvW?

What stats do you rifle engineers run in PvE and WvW? I’d love to know before I start crafting ascended gear. Bump

If you plan to take rifle into wvw, I would suggest full on zerk. I would also go full static discharge dps. Rifle with HT, TK, rifle turret, battering ram. Can also take utility goggles for stunbreak, and if you have a target, proc toolbelt right before you open up your rotation for maximum burst. Mortar or sneak gyro for elite.

Firearms 2, 2, 3
Tools 3, 3, 3
Explosives 1, 3, 3

Sub scrapper 1, 3, 3 for tankier build

This is an advanced build pre HoT. Now it’s borderline suicidal if you don’t know the build and pvp with engi alot. It’s also a blast in zerg, exceptionally effective against bunkere ele if timed right, you can solo eotm bosses.

Throw in knight’s/traveler’s hammer, couple knight’s ascended rings, switch firearms to 1, 1, 1 or 2, 1, 1. This seems to work better in my experience, and I solo roam alot.

Gl, hit me up if you have questions.

intriguing

Well I run a rifle sd build from time to time when i get bored with hammer, but its not optimized for full sd burst since i use the same gear for both hammer and rifle (except a few trinkets). And my version doesnt have firearms or explosive.

I would probably go for more zerker gear and less toughness if i were to fully commit to a rifle sd burst build.
But the build i linked above is actually quite fun, the synergy between Mass Momentum, Perfectly Weighted, Kinetic Battery and Toss Elixir B/Elixir B + 60% boon duration is pretty good. But it suffers a bit due to low crit chance, even with 100% fury uptime it only got 68% crit chance.
But this is a roaming build that can take a few punches and with extremely high stability uptime. If you running with a large organized group you should go more squish maybe, and the need for stealth gyro/scrapper line might be less needed.

Hihi

I currently run this one in open world when I got bored with hammer:

You can also use Purgy, EG, Sneaky, it only matters what map you’re playing on. For raids, fractals and dungeons hammer is the way to go tough… :/
