Guild Wars 2

Does the bloodstone capacitor still work for infused and/or attuned blood ruby rings/backs? I know I saw a reddit thread saying that it didn’t, but seeing as there have been a couple of patches since then I figured I’d ask here for an update. If it doesn’t work, does anyone know if that’s a planned functionality of the capacitors?

Undo.5091:

You basically lose all survivability and gain little in exchange. If I had to make a suggestion on your build without largely changing it, I would say to swap in Healing Turret (it’s just the better heal).

Okay, I think I see how I’m losing survivability in traits (no elixir S, no default condi conversion, no protection buff/elixir B buff), but are the 14 stacks of might, stability, and crit-based condis/boons really worth so little? Honest question, I haven’t run numbers or anything. I was already considering the healing turret swap; kind of a bummer that medic gyro’s not worth it, but I can learn to deal.

EDIT: Just played a round using the meta build, and holy cow I see what you mean now. It took 3 people to focus me down. o.o

Hey all,

I’ve been running this build for a while, but I feel like I might be missing some important bits of PvP meta by just doing what I think works out:

For reference, I based this build loosely on this guy:

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Scrapper_-_Power_Hammer

I mostly end up sitting on flamethrower kit to keep up 14 stacks of might and a constant stack or two of stability, dropping to hammer just to apply CC with Thunderclap and Rocket Charge. If I was better, I’d probably also be using Shock Shield to help with survival under pressure, but I haven’t gotten the hang of that yet. >.> Anyone willing to help me see what I’m losing by going Firearms/Flamethrower instead of Elixir/Elixir Rifle? I’m assuming the variation in healing & elite skill is mostly negligible.

So, this may just be an “I was really dumb” thing, but in my haste to keep my inventory as minimal as possible I ended up destroying the new backpack. Is there a way to earn a replacement, or am I just blocked off from getting it on this particular character?
