Guild Wars 2

I like the grenade kit. So I’m looking for a leveling guide which uses grenades as a focal point.

it’s fairly simple to lvl with Grenades

1. Stats, either go for Power, then Tough or Vit. Cond Dmg doesn’t hurt either
2. Go into options and make your 1 a mouse click so you can target and attack at the same time instead of having to hit 1 everytime.
3. learn to time your throws and distance.
4. Put points into first row of traits, after that it’s up to you what you want.

I leveled this way and want to say:
1) advice #2 upper seems a bit disputable. I have another key binding of all skills so the ‘1’ skill is on ‘q’ and it fits enough (just FYI)
2)no need to put points only in 1st row of traits especially on early lvls because of 1st tier doesn’t get you very powerfull options. I did that way – put first 9 points into 1st row (for +stats) and than respeced into last row for speedy kits trait. Always be speed boosted is one of the most powerfull sides of engineer (but I don’t deny that 1st row of traits is our the most loved)

30 points on power for grenadier at least 10(20) points in Firearms for 33% bleed chance on crit and 50% vulnerability on crit and crit rate the rest use it for whatever you want.

Yeah, at low levels you should probably just go into Speedy Kits + Invigorating Speed. You can kite anything with that setup. Even at level 40, I take these two plus Kit Refinement (I run with EG as well, so that’s a Grenade Barrage every 10 seconds, as well as double Super Elixir.) Only after that did I start up the Explosives trait line.

I do think people should keep Grenade 1 on their mouse, though. I have 1, 2, and 3 on my mouse, since they are typically on low cooldowns, regardless what class/weapon/kit you are using. Grenade 1 especially, though, you want on your mouse so you can move in any direction easily with WASD and still spam your main attack. Personal preference, of course.

I use a Logitech G700 which features 3 buttons beside the left mouse button, all of which can be used with my index finger, so I’m essentially just left-clicking to attack. It’s a great gaming mouse for players who don’t like to use a ton of thumb buttons (4 thumb buttons, plus the 3 index finger buttons, for a total of 7 programmable mouse buttons.)
