Guild Wars 2

Nades now are without granadeer so which build to use ? it seems to me that now engi have to rely on might stacking and hgh for power and cele too. What do you think ? Any good build to suggest ..condi and celestial ? ( i hate ft )

Is there anything else in the minor line worth taking for that matter? =/

Glass Cannon isn’t amazing…but totally useable as a power build with Mortar/SD ambushes. I do wish the cutoff was 75% or something more reliable.

I’ve honestly liked Firearms more with P/P than the Explosives variant with Rifle. Gives Incendiary Powder, and with High Caliber and Hematic Focus your Grenade Barrage stacks bleeds pretty well. Toss Elixir S → Blowtorch → Pry Bar is a perfect re-position/pressure after proccing Kinetic Battery, too.

Fixing Grenadier pretty much confirms it for me that Firearms is the way to go, either way.

Just go with marauder explo/alch/tools with toolkit, nades, elixir s and x and you’re fine. Just remember this is mainly a team fight build, not so good for duels.

Or just go with HGH cele, for duels mainly.

Although I wish we had better options in the adept tier, but we’ll se what they’ll do with the fixes.

I cam here hoping it was just a bug for me, and that maybe I could fix it. Thanks A-net for breaking what is arguably are most important trait……….

I am very, very unhappy right now.

After Symbolic Avenger, you had to see this coming.

I don’t know what “symbolic avenger” is. I did not see this coming.

They ruined engineer for every game mode now. I am straight up kittening kittened!

I feel like this video made by a guildie of mine can explain it better than I ever could.

We brought 50 guardians and killed Tequatl with 14:11 remaining on the clock. They disabled the trait that made it possible yesterday.

“Ruined.”

I’ve been playing around with the Bomb Kit, Flamethrower, and Grenade Kit with Firearms/Alchemy/Tools the past five days with tons of success; I actually felt they were better overall builds than what Marauder with Explosives gave us, since it wasn’t so one-shotty and didn’t depend on a lot of things going the right way.

The class will be completely fine when they fix Incendiary Ammo and bomb radius. It’s just not faceroll anymore. That and after they tone down mesmers, because Jesus Christ. I have trouble with them on every class I play.

I want to say I found the old Bomb double kit condi to work fairly well (take Firearms for IP instead of Explosives, otherwise mostly the same) but with the craziness involved with some of the wonkier traits/glass cannon builds, I can’t really say if it works in today’s meta or if I just got a string of fairly noobish opponents when I tried it out.

bombs has too low radius now … everybody avoid them …

ROFL.

Growing up is awesome retrospectively.

This will get fixed.

Still use nades, they haven’t become worse since the patch dps wise. They still stack vuln better than anything else and they still deal great damage. I don’t know what this is all about … just because some obviously buggy trait has been disableded, everyone loses their minds?

Funny thing is that you’re not supposed to take Grenadier in PvE. Glass Cannon is better overall DPS.

So these guys crying about our DPS getting nerfed really just aren’t thinking straight.

i agree. The only difference is, that grenade barrage doesnt one shot anything anymore, which is good. Still does great damage, still get alot of kills. Only lost the crappy ‘oh-crap—time-for-you-die’ button

yes i went back to nades and they are strong , really strong. Having mortar for range and fields and nades togegher is really fun.
