As the topic asks: Will Bauble Bubbles be used as the currency for future items in SAB updates, or should I spend the ones I have saved up before SAB disappears at the end of the month?
I play on a newly zergified T1 server and was trying to think of ways to reinvigorate my love of WvW.
I wanted to make my engineer a zerg surfer (I really don’t care as much for this type of play, but it’s impossible sometimes to find smaller fights in T1 during my play time) that could mix it up in the front lines with the guardians and warriors and didn’t have to hang back and just throw grenades.
So, I messed around with a build calculator and tried to create a build that I think would be fun and effective in the following criteria:
1. Make use of the newly buffed Tool Kit to lay some confusion/CC/dmg along with spreading condition dmg with Bomb Kit. With fury from groupmates, I’d have about 50% crit chance to work with the on crit bleed from traits/Sigil.
2. Have enough tough/vitality mixture to survive jousting in and out of the fray, supported by 25% hp defensive traits like Elixer S, heal resets, regen, and tool belt reset. As far as I know, Auto Med Response and Self Reg Defenses don’t share the 90s cooldown, but I could be incorrect, as I’ve never tried to mix these in practice. Further defense comes from the Tool Kit shield and offhand Shield equips.
From more experienced players, does this sound like a viable WvW build? If not, what could be changed?
It was mentioned by a dev a few months ago that they were looking into addressing Mesmers having a more reliable way to get a speed boost. Has any official response been given since then? I hate being pigeonholed into either using a crappy Rune configuration or using Focus for speed. Even Guardians, who are in a similar boat as us, have 2 utilities to use on top of the staff if they want speed.
