Guild Wars 2

Hello new to engineer. I am looking for a pve based build to support my team while dishing out nice damage also.My current group meta seems to consist of anchor guard(hammer),Ranger(melee spotter),Warrior (axe/mace/gs)and myself being the steady 4th member.we usually have to pug the 5th depending on times…

I have been trying to fill my spot with a class that can help with might stacking as well as vuln stacking to improve kill times and engineer seems like it would be a jack of all trades in this respect.. I am wanting a power based build with decent damage and improving condition dmg mainly through might stacks.I just want to maintain the dmg input to the party while aiding in the might/vuln stacking to the group for dungeons and fractals.Any tips or help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks very much for these builds.I am still a noob mesmer and trying to get all the mechanics down…I enjoy the flexibilty of shatter builds,and i think my targeting may also be an issue I seem to run out of keys to bind lol and i hate the mouse pointer flying all over the screen
I still need practice with all the combo fields and mainly enjoy sword/x staff builds.The greatsword seems better for general pve single target nukes non-dungeon because range plus nice damage,but i want to learn to play mid range while getting better at shatters and combos..

It seems that a 0/20/20/0/30 build may be able to pull this off better tbh gonna try that a bit….lose some reflection uptime but still have shatter spam while staff is out to max aoe dmg while sharing boons.

Thanks for the feedback it seems a tedious task to try to hybrid any build w/o gimping dps I am going to try to test this and adjust
I was hoping to get the guardian to use blast finishers during chaos storm,feedback or null field,and time warp since he uses the juggernaut i was just hoping to give us more survivability while in melee range.

Hello after many guides read and considering my playstyle, I Have a few questions regarding input for a build that I am trying to maximize damage while bringing utility as well as support (boons) to my party.
My guildies and I usually run Guardian/warrior/warrior/mesmer and 5th open(guard/mesmer/elementalist) depending on dungeon.

We are currently working on 36+ FOTM also.I have a build in the theory end and trying to get the most out of the last 10 points.

DMG Boon

I currently have the 10 points in illusions as to be able to shatter when needed,and base damage increase for having illusions up.I would not consider this build phant/nor shatter just trying to use shatters wisely and keep a steady dmg output by stacking LOS pulls sw/f and using staff as a buffer to my utility/survivabilty.
My party melee a lot and I love the GS for solo nuking but enjoy staff more for multiple targets while waiting on blurred frenzy and mindwrack to come off cool down..

My goal overall is to help compliment the guardians support w/o giving up to much damage overall , so i chose the traits based on playstyle-weapons sword/focus and staff.I mainly swap utility depending on reflects needed etc.

I tried to compensate everything i lost from my last build type with food and sigils for might stacking to boost dmg from using boon duration.I usually survive well in full zerker because the mesmer class has so many abilities to avoid dmg.

So thanks to all who take the time to write guides and answer questions much appreciated

Give it a look and leave some tips,haven’t used the forums much so forgive any errors….

I myself am friends with Tsar and feel exactly the same enjoy all aspects of the game.
I have an 80 guardian,elementalist, and warrior.I am looking for an active mature guild that dungeon runs as well as other activities that are somewhat organised and structured.I enjoy playing as Support/Dps with laid back personalities that enjoy being focused but fun…

Blackgate is on my list of possible transfers not 100% sure yet THANKS
