Guild Wars 2

I’ve been experimenting since the patch and am still trying to figure out how to play my engineer again. I used to run grenades, but have now switched to flamethrower. FT is great for silverwastes with it’s perma-stability (juggernaut trait) and for tagging during events, but it feels a little weak on the damage side.

I hate the idea of running grenades along with mortar (I need that 1500 range at times) since they’re both basically the same attacks, so I haven’t tried it again yet.

So, what’s the big hitting weapons for the engineer now? IOW, which ones do the most damage?

FT is good for me in silverwaste and WvW basically for tagging, i dont really fight 1 v 1 in wvw i usually run away

shield and pistol condi rabid build

usually i only chase after lb ranger, classes like guard/ele/mes/thief/warrior i RUN !

It’s not as much weapons as it is skills.

Grenade Barrage
Orbital Strike
Acid Bomb
Flame Blast
Shrapnel Grenade
Freeze Grenade
Poison Grenade
Prybar
Big Ol Bomb
Jump Shot
Blunderbuss
Blowtorch

Cycle through whichever of those you have avialable and keep them on cooldown as best you can, fill in with whatever 1 skills generally Grenades is best, bomb is higher pure damage, and FT is probably the third best option maybe paired with Mortar1.

Toolkit wrench auto attack actually hits quite hard, too. Pop elixir u first and it’s pretty amazing how fast they drop. That’s for direct damage builds, of course.

I just don’t like the fact that last hit took too long to drop and hit only 1 target.

If it have 1 sec evade like underwater tookit I would use it more often.

the tool belt rocket from the rocket turret hits hard also.
