Flame Of The Titan.3649

I've noticed this so much more recently, it's fine for awhile but then I just rubber band, spike and DC. It's constant and I can't do anything ingame. Have to route through a VPN which Arena net doesn't like and has banned me about it before

I don't use my heal skill offensively @Yazeed.4971 . I find your build to be lacking literally any utility, the point of my build is that you still bring a lot of utility through stuns/projectile deflection/projecting destroy/ Soft CC and evasion, using alchemy +grenades is pointless, you might as well drop scrapper all together if you are doing that and just go holo.

@HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Your reply is what I would of said with 1 addition 100% quickness uptime is done by using a sigil of strength and using sneak gyro over mortar kit. Also, something I didn't add in my long post was you can get a FULL SET of diviners gear from the new Dragonfall map and it is VERY easy to make, costing about 250 mistborn motes for an entire set or just doing the achievements and getting an entire set for free. It's not Ascended though but I don't see why you would want it Ascended for open world pve

@Warlyx.6732 Just use the mortar kit

Hi! Thanks for the mention I really enjoyed our convo and thank you for the lovely mail, I just wanted to add a few points and my own personal build and experience onto this. I've played Engineer since vanilla and I really enjoy the class as whole, I love the utility and variations you can get with this class - I'm not a huge fan of holosmith as it feels like a poor mans reaper with not many benefits. Anyway here is my personal MAXIMUM damage build for scrapper in PVE: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFASncoCFpitpCmXB0ehl7ii+2j9cHsBjwA47/GwCE-jxRBQBG7CAgHdEmRJIAeAAXR53/2f4vq/AA-e So with this build you can maintain a near 100% uptime on quickness, there is a small problem with building might but I'll get to that in a moment, here are some variations. Traits:Explosives.In the first tier, I tried moving off glass cannon but honestly that 5% extra damage is just too good.You can change Big boomer in explosives for Aim-assisted rocket if you want more burst and less sustain (Perfect for open world PVE/running around)You can change Orbital command for Minesweeper if you want to use your dodge roll as an attack - these mines when used with the correct amount of might can easily do over 12k damage if you move the mob a little bit. Firearms.For the first 2 tiers I've honestley never really liked using conditions during open world so I always stick with High Caliber and no scope for near 90% crit .For tier 3 however, you can have a little bit of movement - If you are doing a big open world boss with a lot of players (Teqatul) you really don't need Juggernaut and will get more use out of Modified Ammunition Scrapper.Now, here is where things get tricky. There are soooo many things you can do here that can help you.For the first tier I'd honestly not bother moving off Perfectly weigthed, It's a great trait and is strong all the time.For the second tier, Rapid Regen is great if you need some more survivabillity which goes hand in hand with.... Third tier, Adaptive armor again is great if you find yourself taking too much damage but the real star here is not Applied force, nope. The real winner is Kinect stabilizers, the reason for this is because you have SO MANY STUNS, Your 5 skill on the hammer is 1 stun, it produces a lightning field which then if you use skill 3 is dazing strike, then you have the toolbelt skill from the shredder gyro which is ANOTHER stun. If you couple this with Rapid regen you have some serious staying power and burst, you can also swap out Elixir U here for Personal battering ram which has a toolbelt skill of 12 second cooldown with a nice damage stun (6-7k on crit) Skills:Healing skills.As the point of this build is quickness from the Chrono runes I'd suggest leaving healing gyro on, but if you need condi cleanse then use the turret.Not much room here, I'd only suggest swapping Elixir U out for personal battering ram but that's your choice.For the elite skill you can use either Supply drop (Damage boost, heal + stun) Sneak gyro (Quickness and any thief will love you) or Mortar kit. Personally I use mortar kit for the extra toolbelt skill on F5 which is a huge damage increase and gives you the 1500 range attack (Also has a heal skill + a blind for normal pve killing) Lastly are runes and sigils. After much experimenting I found the only runes worth switching out on armor might be either Pack runes or Strength, but I don't sadly have numbers for this - I'd stick with Chrono for now. For sigils? You can swap out the Sigil of Impact for Sigil of Strength (Might on crit) if you are having might gain issues, which if you aren't auto attacking - You will, it's not a huge DPS loss for keeping 25 stacks of might though. Sorry if the format of this post was shit I haven't posted on these forums in about 5 years. Here's the sour part: You will never top DPS meter's, you won't ever raid with this, you MIGHT do T4 Fractals with this but that's it Scrapper is a hard nut to crack in PVE and I really don't think you will get better damage than what I've posted here, I also tried the toolbelt build for holo with this but it was "Meh" this build brings a lot of utility and stuns though! Good luck and remember - Have fun!
