Guild Wars 2

Hi all

So i’ve decided to go for my 3rd legendary and I need another gift of exploration, I’ve decided i’d use engi to do 100% because of the mobility on engi (100% on warrior already, and thief/ele is too squishy).

Can anyone suggest a build for this? Basically I want to speed complete all the hearts and skillpoints poi and vista in a zone and move onto the next one.

I was thinking for utilities: rocket boots , nade kit elixir gun (for mobility and dps+ speedy kits)

Your utility set is good. I used exactly the same and I have 100% map completion on my engineer.

thanks, what about build?

I’ve only played condi engi and i know condi sucks for pve so any ideas?

also would nades be better than mobs if I LOS mobs for hearts and stuff?

Go either combination berserker (power, precision, ferocity) + knight (thoughness, power + precision) + soldier (PVT) or celestial (all stats).

I use 6/2/0/4/2 build with medkit + rifle. You can use it to solo almost all the pve content, except for some of the Orr temple events (yes, all the champions can be soloed). The runes + sigils are a secret. ;-)

for runes I would go parrot + bloodlust/force/battle

For solo open PvE a condition build is totally viable.

For build I would go:

Firearms III and Tool VI give you plenty of Swiftness. Alchemy I can be changed with Alchemy IV if you like that better.

Regarding your rune choice (Privateer):

The parrot also has a very large aggro range and will constantly fly off to engage nearby enemies. You will often find yourself not healing and unable to map travel.

Being in combat also means a ~30% speed malus; not something you want to have while map clearing.

full zerk, 6/6/0/0/2 or 6/4/0/2/2 for hard content, like solo champs etc.
speedy kits helps you out with the mobility

the only helping movement utility is rocket boots. i’d suggest to take grenades and bombs with it.

66002 or 64004 (or 46004 without nades) taking power based traits, speedy kits, speedy gadgets and using zerk gear and whatever power rune you want along with something like air/fire sigils… and pick 2 of bombs/nades /tk/throw mine. i dont like eg in open world. but thats just me.

Mhmm condition builds in pve… okay if you are playing solo (no events with commander) it is not so bad but infight with more allies it is very feeble.
I would playing 6 – 6 – 0 – 0 -2 (alchemy unacceptable)… you need more condition damage. Napalm specialist is a good condi trait in firearms to pressure maintained against champs.

Basically any build you want so long as you have at least 1 kit and the speedy kit trait. Map completion does not require anything special beyond being able to travel the map as quickly as possible to lessen the amount of time needed. Rifle with jump shot can get you across small gaps, rocket boots as well and even elixir gun’s acid bomb if you are good with about face jumping. The bomb kit is pretty fantastic pre-80 and even after since most normal mobs don’t live long enough to really make the vuln stacking from grenades worthwhile. The good thing is, at least you are not locked into traits now so if you do need to change them to suit a particular circumstance you are free to do so provided you are not in combat.
