Guild Wars 2

Phineas Poe.3018:

I run Celestial + Traveler when WvW roaming and completing open world PvE. Perfectly suitable. And with Giver’s weapons, Koi Cake, and 30 Explosives, you can still reach 100% Condition Duration for WvW.

I would run Berserker in dungeons, though.

Thank you. For trinkets do you use full berserker or celestial, too?

Hi!

Ascended Armors are just around the corner, so what stats should one choose?

I mainly play open world (bosses) and dungeons/fractals and occasionally WvW.

I currently own a berserker and a rabid set. Do you think an ascended celestial armor (+ traveler runes) would be a good idea? How viable is it for the three doains?

Looking forward to your opinion.

Do you just swap out your second S/x combination out for the staff or do you also alter your traits (e.g. for shorter staff cooldowns)? Currently I’m running 0/20/0/25/25.

Have to agree, they designed it for us mesmers

Still can’t decide on what staff to put this skin: berserker or rampager or even rabid for wvw.

Hi,

why should one spend 250 ectos and some more expensive stuff for a sword like Whisperblade. For what I see it is nothing more than any other exotic sword you can craft, except the skin.

I see that ascended weapons bring better stats but is the look the only thing that named exotics bring to the table?

THX…didn’t want to waste gold on the desired and expensive runes just to know if it is possible

Is it possible? E.g. replace the centaur runes in Zhed’s armor with other ones?

Thanks for the explanations and advice.

Ingame someone told me that rampager’s armor + berserker trinkets would be viable, too. Is that true?

Usually I don’t use food and sometimes I have the feeling I lack survivabilty (but this can be due to missing training or experience).

Weapons seem clear. For runes I have to take a closer look at the benefits of each type.

Hi,

I’m a casual player and thus don’t have that much gold/laurel/etc to afford multiple armor/weapon/trinket sets for multiple builds (FT/bombs/grenades). So, what do you experts suggest when it comes to equip my engi?

As stated in the title I only play PvE/Dungeons and sometimes WvW. Mainly I run with bombs but I like using different kits (e.g. FT), too.

TIA

P.S.: Yesterday I was in a dungeon with another engi and he gave the whole group 12 sec of stealth? Do you know how this was possible?

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

10/30/0/0/30 GS + Sw/Sw shatterway is probably best for roaming since you can burst everything down easily in one shot.

Mind to elaborate this a bit more (e.g. traits, utility etc.)?

TIA

Hi, returning after a very long break (I left about 4 or 5 months ago) I’m wondering what builds are viable in PvE (and maybe WvW) these days.

Would be great if you could give me some information (links, explanations etc.).

TIA!

Would you care to elaborate, in particular the FT build? Would this also be viable in dungeons? (I’m only lvl 60 so far ;b – running around with bombs)

Hi, I’m playing an engenier that is currently lvl 48 and I feel quite overwhelmed by the amount of kits and turrents and stuff you can choose.

At this moment I run this build with a rifle:
Elixir H, Bomb Kit, Tool Kit, Elixir B

18 – V-Incediary Power
0
0
10 – II-Fast-Acting Elixirs
10 – II-Static Discharge

Most of the time I use the Bombs. For exploring the world it feels OK but for dungeons I don’t know. I have the feeling that I miss something (for lvling and for Dungeons) and after the recent patch I’m even more confused.

Any advice you can give or build you can suggest?

Thanks in advance
