Guild Wars 2

I don’t really do dungeons, but I do enjoy running around the map. I use a P/P condition build right now with elixirs.

I am more curious on the best build thats enjoyable still kicks kittens, but doesn’t have to focus on what my max dmg for a dungeon.

Any advice this is my first toon so I am far from pro still.

I use Carrion gear mostly with crit.

If you want an Instant Win build, Roll a Warrior or something. There is no such thing as pwning as an engineer based on the build alone.

just ignore the whining post above…

I really enjoy my Static Discharge power build. its close to pwning
mostly berserker-gear and ruby orbs.

Oh ffffffs, whiney my azzura. It was a statement, that suggested i’ve seen any build pwn, you just need the skill behind it.

Thanks Blutstein I will give it a shot, I have not tried that one yet, but it sounds fun. Thanks maybe when I get a new computer I can focus on dungeons but as of right now events lag whoop my tail.

Honestly for solo roaming against any decent player your best bet is an HGH condition build. Hands down, now that can change if you run with other people. Static discharge will leave you squishy, and prone to get one hit killed by any other burst class ie. warrior, theif, mesmer.

Well I can’t be squishy now, Ima try to find a mix of em both, it may sound dumb but atm I don’t do anything but run around and level toons and make money.

I think the OP is talking about roaming in PVE.
In which case you don’t want to be squishy, you can add in some zerk or ramp if you want but youll also want a nice mix of some toughness/vit.
I would also suggest using all the different weapons (well the 3 anyway) since each one offers very different playstyles so you will want to try them all to see which one you like best.
I have been playing Engineer since release and I am still switching around my builds and weapons at least once a week.
Engineer has alot of fun options that are very different gameplaywise, so even if we are still on the weaker end of the spectrum in a lot of areas I can say I have never had a dull moment playing an Engie.

Wait, why would you want to be squishy in pvp but not in pve?

Well I guess you can be squishy in PvE if you want to, I don’t like going full GC because I fight multiple mobs alot when I am soloing so it sucks when you make a mistake and get your kitten kicked.

Also if you are new to the game and new to mmo’s in general like the OP states then itd be a good idea to have more protection at the cost of taking a little longer to kill mobs.
