If I could range

Hmmmm… Hammer?

the ground collapsed and there weren’t any up-drafts visible – a known bug since Launch i know.

Go to your allies, they’ll create a ground bubble shield and there will be an updraft at that shield.

noob question: How do you check which areas have you already discovered? I’m 166/167 in maguuma. Thanx

Yup, build link not working

Brutally thank you very much for replying my post with such details. I will follow all your advices. Thanks again, you rock!

First thanks for taking the time to write this excellent guide, it really helps understand the background of how things work. Second, I play the most WvW, enjoy being in front of the zerg and when there’s no zerg I run 5man roamer groups. I am NOT a stat numbers person, so I don’t know if the decision towards my gear is correct or not, that’s where I’d like some input from you guys.

My build with gear and food: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQJASRlUgiCXFyvDf4ESmiVCBxUgRZ01DHiiYIA-jEyAYrARfAIQQJwioxWZLiGr6BTZSEV7OKiWtQA6GDA-w

Feel free to move around anything, the only limitation that I have is regarding trinkets, I must use exotic ones, as I just don’t have enough laurels to replace all of them to ascended. Thank you very much

Could you post the build plz?

Riften.9247:

Sigil of Battle (…) the Elementalist, however, can keep 7 to 10 stacks of might off of this sigil by simply switching attunement all day. (6 to 9 stacks of might from sigil + boon duration, 1 from fire attunement swap)

Tested this today and it is not working, with Superior Sigil of Battle on the dagger, changed attunements several times, but I’m just getting 1 might stack from fire attunement swap, not 3 stacks of might for 20 secs from the Sigil. Please confirm if this is not working for you either. Ty

Lvl 30 ele here, rolled my ele after the patch. Don’t really care about nerf post, I rather understand the class and keep playing.

@Scrambles I do WvW the most, and enjoy DD, can you post your build plz?

IP or Cloaking device?? It all comes down on how you play WvW. If you are always with the big zerg get IP. If you like soloing or small groups roam take Cloaking device, it will save your life. If you do both get Cloaking device, better safe than dead.

For me, Coated bullets is a must as it’s your easy/fast AoE. HGH is a must as well. So you only have 10 points to play with and swap around.

Based on Elixir S bug (reported by Mask) I’ve switched to Elixir R until they fix it.

I use Masks p/p condition build https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/engineer/Mask-s-10th-wvw-vid Good damage with good health pool.

Is this confirmed for Engis? or just expecting this to happen?

@CriSPeH thank you very much

no0b question: what is it that you additionaly get by choosing milti tool kit? Just on char toons or any other race too?
Thanks.

I disagree. Check Mask forum, his build is great, you single target down fast any other profession, have a lot of survability, and have a good fast AoE.

Engi is a lot of fun, fast responses, versatile. Obviously there’s people that don’t how to to play and engi, but don’t blame the class for it, it’s a learn 2 play issue.

What are the weapon stats/attributes? Couldn’t find them :/. Thanks

Very nice build, thnx for sharing.

Straight to the point. I enjoy WvWvW running with the group, zerging towers/castles, doing burst damage, and using a GS; I do not enjoy condition builds and rarely use the sword/focus to attack. Based on that, I’ve come up (based on other builds) with 2 different builds.

1. Build One

2. Build Two

My question: Considering both builds with the same armor/gems which one provides better damage output? Would you chose something different? why? Does it worth dropping 15%+ phantasm damage for not always a 9% damage increase plus one extra bounce?

I enjoy throwing my izerker in the middle of the other group, with 20%- on the GS abilities I can do that every 11 secs, Which is great for WvWvW. Null field to cure conditions. Utilities 7 and 8 are constantly changing based on type of fight, and # of players in group.

Build 1
20 domination for GS training
20 dueling for precision
25 inspiration for 15%+ phantasms damage
5 illusions

Build 2
20 domination for GS training
15 dueling for bleeding on critical hits.
15 inspiration (sacrifices some health pool and phantasms 15%+ damage(
20 illusions for 9% more damage (usually have 3 illusions out) plus one additional bounce of GS#2.

Any feedback is welcomed and appreciated. To all who took the time to read this thank you very much.

Got you, thanks for the reply

Jackums.3496:

the clones override the Phantasms

Can we check on this please? I did some tests today, and clones override clones, and phantasms override phantasms or clones, but clones do not override phantasms. Thanx
