Guild Wars 2

I’m talking about a wvw build

now that I have all dire set, I wanted to know which stat benefits to FT more, condition damage or power. Also, I’m talking about a zerg fight.

because now I have the option to go either soldier or dire armor set.

So, which one do you guys think? power or condition?

ps. because i’ve just started engineer, so I still don’t know about the class much.

ps.2 If anyone is wondering about the build, here it is

not entirely a new build but just something to be noted since the upcoming patch buff the throw elixir hell lots more. the on demand group-stability is just awesome for small ops guildie run

Edited: I think I came into a conclusion now. After go to heart of the mist and do some static dps check, the cond. is better. Also the bleeding ticks didn’t even reach 50% which in the wvw w/ food it would. plus, I probably run it with elixir gun and pistol which all of them use cond.

Damage and power. Condition only lengthen the time they will be on fire but in a zerg chances are there will be others applying burn as well.

i would not go dire + FT.

well the burning overlapping part is not usually the case.

I’m in BG and when I do small OPs run with guildies is usually in other BL which is most of the time. my guilds 1x vs larger amount of zerg, noted that this is the usual scenario in the time zone i wvw. So, I don’t think the overlapping is the case here.
plus, most of my guildie are direct damager.

Power.

Bombs are better though and are getting a range increase, you’ll probably be happier withthem.

Flamethrower has a lot of issues, hopefully it’ll get looked at some time soon, but for now you’ll do better in another kit. If you really enjoy Flamethrower though, just use it, fun is more important than anythinging else.

For WvW, I recommend running Celestial.

If you’re in it for the most damage you can do, Its a power weapon kit. Tho I find it much more effective to have a balanced stat ratio by throwing in some celestial.

@Brew Pinch: The only issue flamethrower is that skill 1’s flame graphic doesn’t follow its aoe cone. Which did throw me off for the longest time. But once you know that the aoe cone follows the camera (while holding right-click) and ignore the flame graphic, you will never miss a target again.
One day they will probably “fix” this by messing it up, but at least the graphic and aoe cone will be in sync.
