After trying out Rabid which I do like alot. I’m going to get a second set with Rampager stats. As you guys said thoughness in raids is a no-go. I can allways use my Rabid-gear (or parts of it) in WvW so it’s not a complete loss.
Would the berserker-runeset be good in a Rampager gear setup? Thought the combination of Power and Condition damage + the 5% damage for both would be really nice?
I have 3 professions and maxed out their elite specs namely Scrapper, Reaper and Druid. I like them all for different reasons. Scrapper or base engi is very fun with all the utilities and kits. Reaper is very fun in pve mowing down mobs with the greatsword and being somewhat indistructable even in berserker gear. Ranger/druid with their pets and all kinds of different weaponsets is also fun allthough I find the Ancestral Focus and Druid bar a bit clunky and it’s hard to heal people out of groups or raids. Maybe because I haven’t played it for very long.
That said I want to play a different profession that can support without being in group together. With support I don’t mean healing only, but buffing, debuffing, dpsing, healing etc. I have read the elementalist forums and it seems that the elementalist/tempest might be that profession.
Do you find the elite spec ‘the tempest’ fun?
Do you find that you can support groups/players without being in a party/group/raid?
How do you feel about the elementalist/tempest, as a supportive character?
Which weapon do you like most on the tempest?
Is it worth it to start a elementalist/tempest at this time? Seeing how long the expansion is out? (It might be difficult to level, heropoints, the tempest with the maps not being full anymore)
Was leaning towards Rabid. Because of the thoughness and precision.
The precision helps with the Pinpoint Distribution trait (precision to condition damage) and with the Incendiary Power trait. (longer burning and burning on crit).
While the thoughness helps with surviving.
I thought about rampager’s aswell just don’t know how much mileage I would get outoff the power atribute. Also the precision stat is the highest out of the three stats (power, condi and prec) While I prefer condition to be the highest stat. Also that much precision in my build is overkill and wastes too much stat budget on it.
Going to try out Rabid gear for now. Thanks for the answers guys.
I don’t have access yet to sinister and/or viper gear. I want to start using my engineer in a condition spec so that when I get to raiding I will have a base understanding of the rotation/priority system and have the musscle memory to perform decent. My training ground will be HOT’s open-world pve and events. I will be getting viper armor and weapons and sinister trinkets asap.
Untill then I have to make do with the exotics available on the tp. My question is which stat’s are the best? Rabid, Dire or Carrion or something different?
Weird thing happend: After logging out and in again the story progressed and I was able to talk to the pale reaver which advanced the story. Same thing happend to my wife.
Strange thing is we have played, logged in and out at least a couple of days in which the story did not progress. Why it did it now I don’t know.
Just happy we can continue the story. Problem solved

Can’t progress the story beyond act 3 Establishing a foothold. According to the story-journal I need ‘Basic gliding’ which I have unlocked. I allready have unlocked ‘Updraft Use’
My wife is on exactly the same story part and she has the same problem.
Tried changing story to LS and then back again. That did not resolve the problem.
I also talked to the pale-reaver scout but he doesn’t do anything.

Reddit has a whole page dedicated for new players. Some of it might be outdated but most of it is still relevant. Just ease your way through all the links.
Didn’t know that change to incendiary power, Ill take modified ammunition instead. And add some toughness to my gear and see how well I do in Owpve. Ill also look into the pistol/pistol sinister build. It sounds tempting, though I need to get a whole set of new gear for it.
I looked at the static-discharge spec and it seems well build. I personally don’t like turrets though and I would prefer to stick with my own build for now adjusted with the advice of Chroma.
Just came back after a lenghty break, I have been playing several toons and having a blast in Hot.
I wanted to dust of my Engineer so I read alot of forum-posts and lookedup a couple of Youtube vids about scrappers. After reviewing the builds, traits and gameplay I don’t want to play a scrapper. I loved playing a rifle engineer back in the day and want to revisit that again. But there’s is hardly any information (since Hot) about them.
Are they viable/playable in Hot Openworld pve? How about WvW?
Atm I’m in full Berserker gear with scholar runes. Is this good or should I switch to more sturdier stats and if so what should I focus on?
I totally forgot I can go to the pvp-lobby and test everything out. Just did it and the animations on the char for a staff Daredevil are pretty cool. The 5 skill looks very powerfull. Now to level it to 80!
And yeah I read the problems some classes can give us. I just like the flavour/theme of the thief class.
