Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone! Just starting out in the world of the Mesmer. Thing is, I’m…very inexperienced with them. I’ve developed a fondness for the pistol off-hand weapon, but other then that, I’m very out of my league.

Would someone be willing to help me find a nice build for PVE and eventually dungeoning, the only criteria that it uses that wonderful off-hand pistol. It’d mean a lot!

I see. Thank you all for the information. Yeah, if it takes away my ability to use the very elixirs that I rely on, it seems pretty bad. I’ll stick with 7-Series golem instead. Damage and distraction.

Hi everyone! Recently I made a topic about an elixir build and the ideal weapon for it. Well, I’m leveling up and it’s about time to choose an elite skill. Now, my first instinct is to go for Elixer X, because, well, it’s an elixir. However, the only things I’ve heard about it are overwhelmingly negative.

Could someone please explain to me why? If fast acting elixirs drops its recharge time significantly and potent elixirs makes its duration longer, why is it a bad elite skill? Both of its forms look pretty good.

For the record, I’m a 10/30/0/30/0 build engineer focusing on pistols and elixir utilities.

Oh, right! PVE, please. And yes, it’s a DPS and support build, I suppose.

Hey everyone! I’m semi new to this whole Engineer thing and very new to elixirs, which I’ve become pretty interested in recently. My skilltree’s going to be ten into the Explosives tree for those burning criticals, thirty into the alchemy tree, obviously and ten into the firearms tree. I’ve heard that pistols are the way to go because of their fantastic conditions effects, but I also see some epic traits for the rifle in that firearms tree. Are they both equally effective in that build, or is one superior to the other?
