Until we develop AI further we cannot artificially remake Teldo. His engi build however, whilst boasting some of the greatest build depth of anything in GW2, is not currently viable.
His build relied heavily on combo fields, and really struck at the heart of what the Engineer class was initially designed for.
Not this passive hammer scrapper nonsense. Blinds, combo stealth’s, and lots of smart kiting.
I stopped posting suggestions on the forums about a year ago, but thought of this trait the other day and felt obliged to post about it.
It would likely go in the explosive line, as this line has no place in any meta build post -HoT. It could replace any of the three GMs there (they’re all pretty much worthless atm), and would go something like this.
“Blast combo finishers activate twice”
This could then be combined with a change to the minor trait ‘Explosive Powder’, which could look something like this.
“Your Blast Combo finishers remove a condition”
This trait line can’t be used on builds because engineers lose sustain and condi removal from otherwise taking either Alchemy or Inventions. What this trait does is provide extra non-passive sustain (double water combo finishers) as well as double stealth finishers for a more viable stealth off of smoke bomb.
Bearing in mind with these traits current scrapper builds would gain nothing at all. All this would allow, is the return of a comparatively much higher skill cap set of builds reliant on bomb kit.
I’ve got hundreds if not thousands of hours PvP on every class in this game, so please don’t see this as in any way bias. I’d just love to see higher skill cap builds like this one returning to the game, without buffing their more brainless cousins.
