Guild Wars 2

So anyway I have been playing around a bit with a bomb build with the idea of it being used for Spvp – mainly for capturing points and came up with this ridiculous bomb build which has a hard time dying.

http://www.gw2build.com/builds/simulator.php#1.4.8.0.0.0.5.0.0.0.79.94.87.90.102.8.8.7.228.0.0.0.0.0.256.260.266.276.280.279.0.0.0.10.0.30.30.0

In the many games I’ve had with this stupid build I’ve ended up solo capturing many points while under attack from well, most of their team. – you just survive

Downside is they eventually work out to kite you, but that’s what your rifle/pistol is for.
Its a very spammy build – you basically run around like a headless chicken dropping bombs everywhere and the combination of traits, bombs and sigils ensure you will be getting roughly 500 in healing a second (passive healing). – not including your elixirs as well as healing your team mates.

Despite the kinda average damage from bombs (despite high power base retaliation helps a lot with dps), you shouldnt be killable by a single player and 5 v 1 you will last for a very, very long time if you time your elixirs well.

anyway try it out, its a ridiculous build but v hard to kill and a laugh against high damage opponents.

i wouldn’t use the dolyak signet, tbh. i’d use dwayna. the regeneration is only like… 25 healing a second or something.

Yeah it’s 30 or so, I tried dwayna, earth, sanctuary and a heap of others, but found the smallish passive regen from dolyak just added up over time, especially combined with the kit regen and everything else – plus the added toughness and vitality is handy.

Its a stupid build, but its kinda great for capturing points and tying up your opponents team as they waste their time trying to kill you

I’ve been waffling heavily on whether to ever slot elixir B when Hidden Flask is spec’d. When I’m screwing around I’m inevitably switching it for S or R whenever there is a stun thief, a hammer warrior, or a frenzy warrior around. I generally enjoy the alchemy builds but the toolkits for them are so lacking.

I’ve been trying out this build this morning and it is very effective for holding points, especially when there’s terrain to hide behind for regen/kiting (the kited becomes the kiter). I swapped Elixir B out so I can have Elixir R though. Not so much for the stun break but for the self-ress.

oh nice, yeah self rez if definitely better than extra retaliation. good idea

I’m kinda wanting to try this build out, it seems fun. I’m not too familiar with engineers, but I need to ask, wouldn’t Elixir S work better than Elixir R or B? not only do you get stun break but according to the description you get to evade attacks. Wouldn’t that be better for trying to stay alive?

People slot elixir R over S because its toolbelt is a lot better, and they often slot the trait to auto use an elixir S at 25% life.

The toolbelt of S is underrated. Either effect is a secured stomp against most classes.

So basically you have this nice dichotomy here. R is very defensive in nature and supporty in a pinch, S is very offensive in nature.
