Victoitor.2917:

It was an idea at least to make them a bit less sucky. There are bugs that happen when you don’t overcharge it right away, so it would at least help on that department. It would also help using the Healing Turret which right now should not be used as a turret (ever).

Yeah its pretty dumb to have a healing turret that we always blow up/pick up right after overcharging…

Hey guys!
I main an Engineer and my first alt will be a Necro.
Could you guys tell me if the which Necro spec is good for solo/small scale roaming in WvW? I’m not very familiar with the profession so I wouldn’t know if roaming with necro is a good idea at all…
I’ve seen all kinds (power/condition) of necros in WvW, but almost all of them with a staff.
Anyways, looking forward to your replies

I use Dire armor with only a few rabid trinkets on my 3-kit engie.
We have 2 main traits that proc on crit: Incendiary Power and Sharpshooter (there are others)
I gave up sharpshooter when I switched to Dire armor and I don’t miss it. As I.P has a 10 sec cd you won’t have trouble with it, also engie skills hit multiple times so it’s easy to get a crit out.

Hey guys!
I leved a Ranger to 80 and would love to try some WvW with him.
Could you guys suggest a few good builds for small scale roaming? I’m kind of new to gw2 so I’m having trouble coming up with a good one.
Thanks a lot

Hello guys,

I’m new to WvW and would appreciate your advice/opinion about these two builds.
Which one do you think is better for small scale roaming?
The reason I ask is because I need to buy different runes for each build and I don’t have a lot of gold

P/P – HGH build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqalspqbnvSdF1LJxoCdGUh8K6xjp8k/oAAsF-jUCBINAoOJkWAkEJIZSFRjtKsIas6GYKWER1eFFRrWIgFrBA-w

Thanks a lot!

What about utilities?
I’m honestly a bit lost regarding utility skills, there are many good ones (imo).

Anybody willing to help?

For SPVP, a pretty standard condition build is RABID amulet and 30/20/0/0/20 taking Dummfire, Terror, and master of terror.

There are some reasonably popular minion siphon builds that are 20/0/30/20/0 or 20/0/20/30/0 taking minon damage, death nova (death) or minons remove conditions (blood), and minons siphon on hit.

Power builds are generally 30/10/0/0/30 or 30/25/0/0/15, taking applicable damage skills, but generally don’t fare quite is well in the bunker and condition heavy PVP of this game.

I am pretty sure there is a sticky at the top of the forum for builds.

Thanks a lot!
One more thing though: what weapons and utilities does each build use?

Anybody willing to help?

Hey guys!
I’m kind of new to the game and would really appreciate if someone could point out the most popular builds for sPvP and WvW.
Tried to look for it on the forums but got a bit confused :P

Thanks a lot!

Hey guys,
I recently started a Necro, and I see all this fuss about this GM trait.
What’s so special about it? Chance of 2-3 second burn on critical hits, on a 10 sec cd…
I mean, the engineer Incendiary Power is much stronger (100% chance of 4 second burn on critical hits, 10 sec cd). And its a adept trait.
Am I missing something here?

I was fooling around with turrets last night and notice that, whenever I stacked might, the damage of the tool tip would increase (both direct and condition).
I thought Power/Precision/etc didn’t have any effect on the turret’s damage.
Is this know or am I poorly informed?

Note: I only noticed this change from might stacks, haven’t tested switching gear out, forgot to

Hey guys, I’m newish to GW2 and I’m starting to gear up for lvl 80.
I really dislike crafting, specially because I don’t have much time to play the game.
Is it possible to ignore crafting and still do well at GW2? I mean, will I have an alternative access to all the gear/equips?
Thanks!

Well, level 40 isn’t high, but it’s not nothing. Putting aside that I’m permanently with someone else (which means overworld map mobs tend to melt), the number 2 seems to have a weird habit of popping bolts off into the middle of nowhere, and confusion kinda sucks in PvE. I have tried it myself, and I’ve hated it; I’m wondering what I’ve overlooked that could make it great.

Looking at your build, it seems to understandably lean on the 2, and given that it just seems to go off into lala land sometimes when I use it, I don’t think I like it, although I’m sure it’s been working out excellently for you. My guild leader was highlighting HGH for me earlier, so it’s interesting to see that’s liked.

Try using pistol 2 as close as you can to the target. It won’ miss a shot.

This build editor is out of date.

@ OP
Trust met, you will get used to it pretty quickly.

DesertRose.2031:

While Rampager properly deals slightly more damage in solo PvE Berserker scales better in groups, so I advice you to not bother with Rampager in PvE.

garythesnail.8475:

What Traits/Skills would you use in a PVE build with Rampager gear?

30/5/0/25/10 or 30/0/0/30/10 HGH are good builds for condition grenade.
30/5/0/10/25 is also possible but more suited for Berserker.

@ DesertRose.2031 – Thank you! I’m new to the game so I’m afraid I might abuse of your kindness. Could you please point out which skills/kits would work best with the those builds? If it’s not asking too much, maybe point out the major traits too?

Again, thanks a lot!

Hey guys,

I’m new to the game and have been leveling a few classes over the past weeks. Decided to stick with the engie, got a few question though.
I’m not sure what I will be doing most of the time while at 80 ( PVE or WvW), which makes it hard to choose a single build that would cover both options. I know that respec is cheap, my concern is the gear (I’m poor).
What exotic gear would you guys recommend for a first time engie?

bump. I’m interested in dungeon builds as well.

@colesy

Thanks a lot! Those are very strong points.

@colesy
I’m a beginner Mesmer and I thought that the GS would see some action in dungeons due to iZerker. Could you shed a light on that weapon choice?

Hey guys!
I’ve been playing GW2 for a month now and I leveld a Ranger to 80. I want to switch to Mesmer and I need a few suggestions for builds.

- I still don’t know what I’m gonna get into: WvW, sPVP or PVE. But there will be PVE for sure. No need to worry about it now since I must level first and try those out.
- I still don’t know which weapons I like the most, all are cool to me (unlike the ranger).
- I kind of like the idea of using Phantasms as a primary source of damage rather than shattering clones. I do know that it’s a big part of the class though.
- I could go for a leveling build… But I want to test a real one and shape my play style while leveling.

Thanks in advance for the ones kind enough to contribute

Thank you both!

Hey guys! I noticed in http://en.gw2skills.net/ that when you put points on Marksmanship or Wilderness S. lines, which improve condition duration and damage respectively, it improves not only your conditions but also the pet’s.
Is this right? If it is, would that work for boon duration or anything else?
Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m new to the game.
Could anyone please clarify how the skill Guard works?
Does the protection wears off after 10 seconds even though the skill lasts for longer?
If the pet goes stealth, comes out and kills an mob, does he get the stealth+protection boons again?
Much appreciated!

Hey rangers,

I’m new to the game and I’ve been trying a few classes lately…
I chose the Ranger, but I’m still a bit lost when it comes to Traits.

I know it doesn’t matter MUCH when leveling but I’d like a few suggestions anyways, if you will be so kind to give me
So far, I’ve using SB+GS or SB+sword+X. If you can suggest a build adapted to this weapon choice it would be much appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
