Guild Wars 2

Anyone else going Scrapper condition on the 23rd? No? Okay.

Joke aside, I feel the Scrapper does bring some variety to condition builds from what skills/trait we’ve seen so far, there will be probably be some changes until HoT hits for good, then again it would be nice to play with what we got so far from BWE.

Here’s my possible Scrapper condition build for WvW:

Possible tweaks:

Balthazar or Perplexity runes over Anti-toxin.
Healing Turret over Medic Gyro.
Rocket Boots over Elixir S.

Reasoning:

The build doesn’t stray off too much from double kit condition build, wanted to squeeze out as much as possible from the Scrapper traitline into a condition build, I think Medic and Stealth Gyro fit nicely in the build, specially in a group scenario and if HT gets nerfed in HoT, then it’s one more reason to take it.

Plenty of Dazing to proc Expert Examination while Adaptive Armor will make us so much durable along with Shield.

My only gripe with the build is the lack of movement speed from either swiftness or Mecha Legs while out of combat, swapping Alchemy for Tools could solve this with the obvious trade-offs.

What are your thoughts about condition Scrapper and what condition builds did you come up with for HoT?
