Buildcast 6: Dissection Of A Guild Wars 2 Engineer Build
20 Comments

Each and every week the Buildcast boys break down a community member’s Guild Wars 2 PvP play style and build.

Thanks to Jonathan Davis for this week’s Engineer build.

 

 

Supplemental Links

Jonathan’s Build

Ed’s Suggested Build

Changes:

  • Move 10 points out of Explosives and into Alchemy to get Automated Response
  • Replace Runes of Melandru with Runes of Dwayna for the regen / heal synergy

This will make the spec unkillable for condition damage and provide even more healing.

Matt’s Suggested Build

Matt’s “Tristana” Direct Damage DPS Build

  • Choice of net turret, rifle turret or an elixer instead of the battering ram.

    When your allies see you decimate the enemy with bombs it grants them so much elation they are healed-Because explosions make everyone happy….. healing people from the inside out-like Patch Adams-except with 100% less Robin Williams and 100% more explosions…..and then there’s the Neosporin.

      Leave that crack alone.

      That trait is called “Elixir-Infused Bombs.” As in Elixir H;
      the engineer default healing skill. So yeah…Neosporin.

      It’s like the Robitussin-Coated bullets in Borderlands. Put some ‘Tussin on it!

    sadly, kits do not inherit sigil effects from weapons

      Did ANet say they were looking at this back in Beta? It rings a bell…

  • Dracosblood

    Automated response is bugged and only some what works.

    thanks for posting the builds in the show description. Love the show keep up the good work :)

  • Paul Kling

    Could we get you guys to go back to previous episodes and put links for suggested builds like you did in this one?  It would be very helpful :D

    Am I the only one that thinks Gary looks like Jason Bateman

    • http://twitter.com/zerconi Samuli Rauatmaa

      Yes, you are.

  • Dixhallpike

    Matt said he made an engi alt. Did he ever previously mention what he was maining?

  • http://twitter.com/zerconi Samuli Rauatmaa

    Hoooly crap this build is amazing for defending. I JUST WONT DIE :D

  • bsqminus4ac

    I smell a nerf bat coming but personally, I don’t think the build should be nerfed. It’s VERY situational, and can be easily countered with a serious condition build. 

    No matter what AN does there will always be builds that exploit (sorry to use that word) very clearly defined situations.
