go with a precision/toughness/condition damage PvP necklace, and 6 runes of earth (for increased protection duration).

You should have around 50%ish crit without the fury from Elixir B, and a ton of protection uptime when being focused.

condition pistol is pretty good if you can keep track of where the mesmer is moving

red.2387:

If they clearly don’t want people actually traiting into these lines, why do they even exist?

What the hell are you talking about? What kind of delusion went through your head to even make this statement?

Bunker/tanky builds are very powerful in sPvP

Warriors do less burst than thieves

Are people honestly crying about nades being nerfed underwater? They were overpowered as fk. Anyone could have seen that nerf coming a mile away.

Pistols with the piercing bullets trait

If they made grenades anything but ground targetted, they would have to nerf the damage substantially. The difficulty in play is the only reason grenades do so much fking damage.

and I hit some glass cannon greatsword warrior for 9k with grenade barrage this morning =D. It made me very happy.

Great video. I’ll have to try out slick shoes with my grenadier build. The other obvious benefit to using grenades is super OP underwater combat and amazing WvW capabilities.

I do feel that for your build specifically, cleansing formula seems wasted because the only elixir you really have is your heal. Elixir R isn’t one you would use to cleanse off conditions.

Also, regen at 25% health is mostly useless. Regen ticks are very small, and at 25% health you’re almost dead. It would be better to spend those 10 extra points to get Automated response (immune to conditions below 25% health)

Incendiary ammo is eaten up by a lot of kit skills without applying a burn at all

Protip – spec glass cannon, get blown up.

Protip #2 – glass cannon specs have long CDs on burst

Protip #3 – Get some toughness

couple of months late? The game has barely been out for a month

It’s called skill. Not an exploit

Is this a troll thread? Grenadier is one of the highest damage dealing setups in the game bro

The sigils that increase “X” when you kill a foe, do not work when you kill them with your kit attacks. The only time they work is when you finish them off with a pistol or rifle attack.

Why the hell would you have bomb kit in your build just for big ol bomb? You can put something there that will actually synchronize with your trait set up. The rocket boots would be much stronger since burns stack duration, and a range spec wants a gap opener. Elixir U would also be an amazing choice since the reduction in elixir CD effects it, and the quickness will allow you to stack bleeds faster on your opener as well as remove a condition due to cleaning formula.

post the build. If you’re just looking for a tanky engi build, I’ve made one that I believe surpasses any in terms of survivability while still dealing decent damage.

Engineers can do plenty of damage with the grenade kit. The problem is obviously that ground targetting is extremely clunky game play for anything that isn’t stand and DPS. As soon as you or your target moves, it becomes extremely difficult to play.
