Scrapper Buildcrafting -- PvP


Vagrant.7206

Recommended Posts

After the recent changes, I thought about trying a few new builds. Toyed around with some ideas.


The ol' drunk scrapper is functional again, still troll-ey, with new and improved sneak gyro:

I think I got a crit on jump shot of 12k with that build. Granted, I wasn't playing seriously with it, but it was super troll. Stealth gyro makes it very easy to hide and reposition.


I had good success with this tank build, but I wouldn't rate it higher than prot holo:

The downside was that it was weaker at cleansing and dueling than prot holo, but could stay with targets better and could CC more frequently, making it easier to finish foes.


What do you guys have?

Beats any condi build and has decent team support through res, barrier, cleanse, and heals. Only downside is lack of significant burst damage but in order to get that you'd lose too much sustain. This is better than prot holo so far.

I tried a few games with this setup yesterday. Focus is on CC to give your allies as many chances for burst as possible, while being really survivable yourself and able to utilize all your fields. The Might from the Blast Gyro+Fire Field is nice for team support as well.I had no problems with cleansing but on the other hand I didn't fight any condi Mirages, or Scourges.

I've been focusing on full support been able to get more than 500k healing at the end of each game (650k was my top).

This build can compete easy with support FB babysitting scourge. Or bunkering a node if needed. (I didn't try to "duel" any scourge but I were able to outsustain 2 mirages for a while)

(just don't spect any damage.... Is full support+self sustain)

If someone is interested on the combos, let me know and I'll write them later.

PD I've been using sigils of cleansing and energy.... But I'm still not sure about them 8p

If you can find something that packs a stunbreak (toolbelt) and condi cleanse (E-gun 5 + 4) in the same package on a relatively low cooldown, you can use that, but good luck finding both. You'll generally get one or the other.

Perfect time to necro... I mean dust off this thread

With the changes, what would you change about the build?

Does it ONLY work with zerk stats?

The metabattle buildhttps://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Scrapper_-_Drunk_Engineer

Your buildhttp://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFAUncTBlXhVXB2XBEqilJjS8ZKgAgeuz7A/74WumD-jJROABAs/AMlBQ/CAI/DAAA

Curious why even go scrapper?Could you just go core? and do this meme build even better?Something like, thishttp://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFAUlcThqrY5Vw+KQ7FLDGEY9zfQFbXJCxXASf7B-j5QOABwUGA9PAAA7PAA

copy and paste links -forums are bugged.

I can go marauder/Leadership-- with firearms instead of scrapper and Im just under 23k instead of Zerk stats with scrapper and sitting under 14khitpoints

Unfortunately the build editor also doesn't have the new skills. I need to toy around with this patch to try it out.

My thoughts:

  • Seeker Ammy/Zerk Ammy
  • Rune of Strength
  • Sigil of Separation + Sigil of Enhancement
  • These traits
    • Consider minesweeper and a different sigil for hammer builds

Scrapper is the better choice for this build for 3 reasons: Sneak gyro, Mass Momentum, Applied Force.

Ok, played 2-3 matches. It's still very much played like a meme build, but it can be really hilarious to burst out of stealth with an 8k electro-whirl (on hammer) with 3-4k crit autoattacks. I don't think anybody worth their salt would run this competitively, but it is absolutely hilarious -- constant super speed, stealth, and massive bursts. The downside is that condi will eat you alive.

When the boon corrupts and condis are just always there, going back to gyros and superspeed with Rune of the Chronomancer could work if there's another might source.Though not available in Spvp, I'm about to sacrifice Elixir H or B and try Rune of the Pack in WvW to see its boon upkeep for roaming.
