We call it the “Crissy Boy”
It’s a build that our guild’s ([DYE]@Gandara) Engy’s came up with after the 23.6.2015 patch:

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-Z;4cP-g0l6cQ-x0;9;4iml;0246136146;4LR;1R;0t_MTt_MTn-FR2-0;0N_;0HbH6IbI6JbJ62o-G-2i;5F2CPF2CP;9;9;9;9;7VR-6a

Here is how it works:

You’ll be running around with the new superfun MORTAR KIT !
The new Engi’s F5 has a big role to play in this one, the trick is to try and get an evade to proc the “Kinetic Charge” trait, when u evade an enemy attack, you’ll have 8seconds to cast (F5)Orbital Strike.. traited this way, it will fire 4 times in a row as you’ll be able to cast it twice.
When enemy’s try to go and take a healing stack, throw some poison at them !
When they are in range, SPAM mortars(you got nice fields to throw at them)! Even faster with Elixir U!!!

Note: you have a good chance to get a reflection wall out of Elixir U’s tool belt skill, its a very nice skill to have in big fights

DEATH SENTENCE :
Pull (toolkit 5) and when u manage to pull someone near you, hit em straight away in the face with the PRY BAR (5k dmg with this build). CAUSE OF DEATH: got pulled in the middle of the enemy zerg (just check that the enemy doesn’t have stability on em when pulling!)

How to Stay alive:
Your positioning is allways playing an important role as ranged player in WvW zerging, also dodge out of red circles and dodge away from the incoming enemy train !

Defencive skills:
Static Shield(Shield 5), Gear shield(Tool kit’s 4th), Elixir S+Toss Elixir S
On top of this you have a trait (Self-regulating Defences) for those moments you are in zombimode after hours of enjoying the build, to ensure your survival!
You also have a reflection from your shield, punish a ranger pewpewing you with this one.

Healing :
Mortar 5 (6sec waterfield!!!), Healing turret (3sec waterfield!!!)Healing turret toolbelt skill(regen + very short waterfield!!!)
Tip: the build has 2x blast finisher’s (Shield 4
Blowing up your Healingturret), blast the waterfields to heal even more.

Variation:
Change Pistol+Shield to Berserker rifle, when manage to pull a player, hit em with :
pull,prybar,overchargeshot,throw wrench,netshot, orbital,jumpshot,autoattack

We hope you like this one.
