Guild Wars 2

Which would you recommend for aggressively assaulting far build?.. i don’t like sitting on a point so i will be running triple kit either way. I also like the build to be rather strong in duels especially against current meta hambows etc.

i find pp conditions on rabid with nades , toolkit and elixir S works better for me than celestial ( use quite the same traits , utilties but with rifle ,celestial and strength/battle)

Rabid with p/s will will be more effective simply because you can win more 1v1s with it, but you will be less effective in teamfights. If you’re just camping far it shouldn’t be much of a problem. Necros will be able to destroy you, though.

condi engi belongs in the team fights for burst, celestial/rifle engi can roam and decap more efficiently.

Rifle decaps often in seconds. So rifle

Celestial rifle build.

Both can work depend what weap set you prefer. A video of my celestial rifle 3xkit build.

Pistol/Shield with knockback turrets.
Often people think this is bad because turrets are rooted, but it’s actually quite mobile. Both Flame and Rifle turrets have really low cooldowns. I tend to take Rocket Turret for that extra CC, but the low cooldown can put some people off. You may wish to swap that out for nades/TK

some good advice, also alot of people suggest pistol/shield, does it offer better dueling potential than p/p or do people just like the extra survival?

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, retired #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

Rifle is thuper for assaulting a point! The control it gives is great! One Overcharged Shot and Net Shot and the point is decapped!

Generally offhand pistol is reserved for pure condi builds that don’t have any other burning besides Incendiary Powder! If you run, for example, Bomb Kit or Flamethrower, or Flame Turret, or even Rocket Boots you can take shield offhand!

Hope that helped! Wahoo! Bye frands!

Yeah, basically^

These two skills simply offer much more than the two other pistols skills.
