Our Role:We are NOT suposed to be single run or roaming, we need to run with groups and we do MASS of conditions! and the main con is ICE CREAM when you driving in eniemies and make them crazy
I don’t agree with this at all, Engineers a one of the best single run and roaming profession in my opinion! We are fine in group play to, but saying we ain’t supposed to roam simply ain’t true! I do it all the time! :)
The build you have made need to be in a group, mostly cause you lack a Stun breaker! :)
Well I mean this build is not for 1 on 1
If i do roaming ill switch to static discharge build
I agreed its a prefect roaming build
ok, agree to the offensive support for your group…
speedy kits is definitly enough swiftness if you use 4 kits. i would take 5 points out of precision and into tools. But i have to admit i’m not a fan of condition builds on my engi
Nice idea for me I forgot speedkit
Ill put that 5 Point somewhere else
Lol I actually think your build is viable. But I do agree infused precision is a waste if you already using speedy kits, you already have perma swiftnesss by constantly changing kits.
And the fact that u have a stun break with the elixir s trait makes this build very viable for WvW.
As a support build, I think this build is great and has a lot of control through rifle and tool kits. Grenades and bombs for mobs. And med kit for instant healing. Plus lots of conditions. Nice
=D
OMG my bad I forgot speedy kit
Then I might put 10 in cripple under 25% maybe
Or put to alchemy?
Any suggestions

Hi Rozbuska , nice to see your idea and I also running a ice cream build with
30 10 0 10 20
I use sigil of ice and set of Grenth for Chills and other condition,
and I bring 4 kits (med,nades,bomb and tool), i will consider the EG too
well it really work for me since all my Chill duration is 1.5x
Hell, you use FOUR kits… infused precision is a waste. And, where exactly is the support for your group you’re speaking of?
Are you sure carrying 4 kits have a problem on you?
it’s hard to control unless you trained,
but I wish to share this build for all of you
1,i forgot speedy kit thanks for remind
Ill put points somewhere else
2, how to support team?
depends on what situation u re, if we attacking or crashing with enemies, in a far range you can use rifle for net shot, nades for 1500 far range do a mass of condition damage like chill (sigil), blind, freeze and poison, which chill slow down enemies 66% and poison drop their heal rate, also you got magnet in tool kit to pull someone, if in melee range with your team your nades during CD change to bomb you still got some conditon like blind, confusion and cripples also dont not forget the belt skill big o bomb, it make aoe knockdown, and every 10 sec if you use med kit it chill nearby foe
just want to mention that, within the Traits we got 30% condition duration and runes add 20% of frozen duration, it’s 1.5x of every chill and 1.3x every confusion of your stack
would like to hear more feedback from you and learn by,
Thanks!

Strange and pointless build…
well I agreed you said it strange since this is a new idea bring out
but disagreed you said it pointless since i got 3k armor, elxric S auto below 25 % health and tool kit gear shield for high surivalibility
I got mass of condition like chill, poison, burning, bleeding, blind, confusion, cripple and knockdown to support team
SKILL
I am not going to explain all of it, you know them right?
Med Kit
a lovely kit with conditon remove and fury
Tool Kit
yeah prybar magnet box of nails and gear shield, how you refuse?
Nades Kit
yeah bleed them poison them chill them blind them
Bomb Kit
same with nades but ground targeted with Big O blet! knock them down!
Supply drop
no choice with other every engin knows
HOW ICE CREAM WORK?
As you see I improved total 50% of chill duration ( 30% by traits and 20% by runes), so mean there a 1.5 x original chilled times by each skill, (and they can be stacked)
1, when you crit 30% chance to make chill
2, when you use heal cast 3sec chill to near foe
3, Freeze Grenade (after the cool down reduce you can cast it each 16 sec)
we got a lot of condition in this build e.g poison bleeding fire confusion blind and CHILLED, when before you drive in use your 1500 range grenade for all kind of condtion, ( you should cast posion first since if it crit will also cast chill by weapon sigil and then stack with freeze nade and smoke bleeding etc..) When we inside the zerg we can keep switching med kit for 3 sec chill on and also bomb kit for some condition like blind confusion and cripple, O ye cripple also will cast when you switch to tool kit and then use one more box of nails , people cant chase you, and you still have 3 sec gear shield right? keep running and switching kits to make KIT REFINEMENT work, peoples always forgot the Chill, it -66% movement is very very very crazy effect in war
At last, I know my grammer is very bad but all I want is share it for you guys to make fun, and why call ICE CREAM?
iCe for Chill Cream for Cripples
keep them slow.. they cant escape..they cant chase

Hi Folks, This is Izzac Z who a engineer been gw2 over 700 hours, and this is my first build post since I tried a lot of different traits, skill etc.. that’s very amazing I learned a lot from here like tankcat, static discharge, FT/EG and 100 nades build etc… I am really enjoy engineer no matter in dungeon, pvp or wvw ..
I would proudly to represent this ‘ice cream’ build which I am using at WVW, so far I feel very supportive and good survivability,
Our Role:
We are NOT suposed to be single run or roaming, we need to run with groups and we do MASS of conditions! and the main con is ICE CREAM when you driving in eniemies and make them crazy
ok traits here, let make it short
Traits :
Explosives 30
Incendiary Powder – Since I got very high crit chance, ill choice it for another great condition for s ‘ice fire’ combo, you like it? or rather you might change it to Shrapnel for bleeding stacks if you want.
Short Fuse – Well I were consider make it to Explosive Powder for more damage but finally I tested it will be much better for reduces bomb and nades CD since I am doing a lot of conditions damage not the power damage.
Grenadier – OK, I have no choice, thats what I want!
Um + 300 Power could make you more balance since our gears doesn’t have any power but all I focus is THE 30% CONDITIONS DURATION, Ill explain how it work later
Firearms 10
Rifle barrels – make rifle longer range for net shot and jump shot
well here + 100 precision for me is nice and also the conidtion damages, you may have a question why you don’t put more in this traits for more condition damages, because we are support build and since we at wvw all I want is the EFFECT of it
Alchemy 10
Self Regulating Defense – Yeah when your hp below 25% and you will become a mini me , trust me, you must bring it in wvw whatever builds
Tool 20
Speedy Kits – Again, Keep your swiftness on
Kit Refinement – This is a main tricks in my build, since I bringing 4 kits here I got med kit, nades kit, bomb kit and the tool kit, everytime you switch kits it will cast a autospell ( some of em have CD) e.g you equip a tool kit it cast box of nails , equip nades kit will throw nades from you.
Gears
Since I need a high crit chance to make traits and sigil works, and most of my damage are based on my condition damages, so I would like to choose a Rabid set, but I would like to hear you guys feedback if there have any better gear or jewelly mix
weapon I still stay with my rifle since I like the net shot and overcharge shot for knockdown, you might go with p/p or p/s that’s ok, YES pistol do a lot of condition damages too, but I want more controls for supporting
Runes and Sigil
For sigil I take superior of ice, everytimes you crit on it makes Chill (2 sec) and CD wil be 10 sec, and I will take full set of Grenth,
it added total 183 condition damages, 20% chilled duration and when you heal you will cast chill for near foes 3 sec (CD 10sec)

Hi I am a engineer who spent over 700 hours
After the patch I think there a bug removed special effect of the projectile in belt skill
Any advise?
But it seems bugged on other projectiles
I don’t believe anet trying to remove those so
Is it bugged or what
No point to remove our belt skill effect and rifle 3 4
Shall we report to anet?
Hi folks after the patch I was suprised that there is a new effect on my predator
1 The bullet colour changed to like a fire bullet
2 The sound effect changed a bit
3 Added a little fire footprint on
4 Removed the throwing effect on belt skill
5 Most amazing added the burning effect on body
Some kind of legendary weapon also been updated
Thanks for notice

Someone place a suggestion please?
Traits
Weapon
Rune
Armor
Skill
Thanks
Hi there
I made a predator a month ago and already on my engineer
Actually after I finished the predator I had considered put on engineer or warrior since thats a rifle and engineer use hip shot all the time, warrior use aim shot is more matching
But finally I decided on engineer by below reasons
1, Engineer have not much choice, only rifle , pistol and shield
2, Warrior doesn’t have belt skill throwing effect with predator
3, engineers need love
And my opinion is anet should change the engineer animation to aim shot
Also let engineer have a new melee choice maybe mace?

Very nice and interest of the 3.4 confusion cat such as what I using
Few question discuss with you
1, I never see a rabid ear ring and necklace, does they really have?
2, Do you think the condition duration important since you gave up the dom traits
3, sometimes I will switch the torch to pistol for bleeding since condition build, what do you think?
4, If replace the unread rune to centaur for the swiftness boon, big different to the build?
Really nice vedio and make me re-enjoy to my Mesmer
Thanks

Wwf the rock" if you smell..what the fxxk is nerfing?"
Same here
I love engin and I spent like 500+ hours on it finally I just finished my legendary rifle before the day they patch, OK now I got a nice rifle but I didn’t even equip it since I need to think about the sigil issue.
So sad
Very good opinion
And all I suggest to developer is if you trying to nerf kits
Please give back weapon stats on to make the balance
