why not take toolkit and using pistol pistol ?

If you want something for having fun in wvw and pvp something like this can work . http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PegAoqlZw6YfsLmKWyTZrTA-zZwKjMTgeLAHGA It is a really old build , for sure you find better ones, but if u want to have fun with old playstyle i find it is one of the best old style build till usable . It is not competitive, for sure, but for fun it can work

can you share your p/s condi build ? at least the utilities you use ?

Incendiary powder now has a cd so i don't know if you really need that precision more. if u have 1 crits every 10 seconds or a intelligent sigil you are ok in any case

A.E.D. is completely different from others heals in the game. This is the reason becouse i find it fun . It is a little clunky to time sometimes but it is the only way if you don't want to take alchemy imho . Alchemy for now is better than AED in many ways but with tools and 1 trait ( gadgeteer) you have an heal with a decend cd and condi remove. I think more will consider A.E.D. when healing tower will be 30 secs .

They don't "de-powercreep" anything, what they do is lower the overall damage and sustain coefficient. The different professions will still have their increased access to all the tools that make them stronger (or more "whole") than the original profession at release. The "powercreep" that have been added over the year have almost not been touched. True trueYes but they also changes different cd of skills so the balance will change. For example , for engineer, porting healing turret from 20 to 30 secs is a great nerf ...

The change of HT is quite huge and it opens in my opinion to different approches. Alchemy will continue to be strong but in my opinion builds based only on tools with A.E.D. and without alchemy will become more viable . I hope in build diversity and i hope in a come back of old condi ele with nades, toolkit and something else ( firearms, explosive, tools ) . I am a dreamer, i know

This is very true but certain people are not willing to try to get creative with their builds thus they rather stick to the Meta over getting a it creative with what can be made. Holosmith is fine for players who want a alternative to spamming Grenades in a Power build but it has potential in a condition build aswell to build Burn condition with Grenade conditions and pistol conditions. The mind is the greatest weapon because it is where creativity to how can someone be killed is made. As for the Elite Spec itself for me, well I am still waiting on something else a bit more creative with the Elite Spec that is not "spam kits' and Ignore Main Weapon. a Elite Spec that is deisnged to sacrifice Kits to modify the Main Weapon is still a interesting one I hope they may one day add since as a Engineer, the character should have a Elite Spec that gives them the ability to focus on Main Weapon by Modifying it using the Kits to perform the type of role they want such as if Rifle gets modified with Grenade and Bomb kit, it would gain 5 new Rifle skills that focus on Power Explosive Damage but if you modify the Rifle with Grenade Kit and Flamethrower kit, the Rifle gets 5 New skills that focus on Condition Explosive Burn Damage. Along with if you Modify the Rile with ELite Mortor kit with Tool Kit, it gives the Rifle 5 new skills that makes it into a Power Damage Railgun. Holo is not good with a condi setup .... it is better core engi condi than holo condi ihmo. For a condi setup with pistols you need firearms , so you have to take holo and firearms .... if you take also explosive you are of paper but nades without granedier are not viable ihmo . I disagree. Condi holo is superior, if only because it's way easier on the fingers for roughly equivalent DPS. how do you build it ? https://snowcrows.com/raids/builds/engineer/holosmith/condition/No stunbreak, no condi clean ....

How do you setup ?

what is good wvw scrapper for ?

I liked the modification of holo carried by last patch. It makes imho holo more interesting becouse you have the best benefit to arrive near the heat cap but not to it. I find it a good "nerf" becouse it makes holo a little bit more interesting to play. What do you think ? Other question. For spvp and wvw . Scrapper and holo has been changed. Scrapper has been changed a lot more than holo. Do you like new scrapper ? How do you see and build scrapper and holo in wvw( roaming) / spvp ? New meta ? Is there nothing good new for core engi instead ?

No i only asked becouse i had not the feeling that mesmer was so overtuned now .

Is it not better the usual hybrid (carrion or whatever ) axe torch, staff with illusion instead of chaos ?

Was scrapper gutted??? I don't see anything other than a slight shave in healing (not a shave in barrier creation) that leads me to believe that it was gutted. I think it might be STRONGER in a team setting after the patch. all of its heals over time were removed. new function gyro will not hold this class up. I'm still not convinced.... Scrapper can find a lot of means to generate heals. It has more blocks/reflects than Holosmith and has access to all the same healing if you equate exhaust healing to the barrier Scrapper generates. Yes but holosmith has better mobility and it is much much more fun to play than scrapper :)

I am back since long time. I read that condi mirage is till op after all the nerfs . Is it true or it is only a legend for people who is not able to fight it ? How is this "broken" condi mirage build ? ( i'd like to try it )

great idea, so in few monthes only 10% of the pvp players play the game .

build for silver/ gold ?

I saw many daredevil staff roamers and some duelers. I don't play thief so i don't know the class ( i played it 5 years ago but withot expansions ) Is staff thief viable for spvp ? why there are so many daredevil with staff in wvw and it is rare in spvp ? just curious

I think that's why it takes Anet so long to ban those bots and their "owners", they are probably waiting for them to send the Gold/Items so they can track the owners account and ban their main. However if that's the thing I find it difficult to believe that Anet wouldn't have access to the IP addresses with which the accounts were made. IP adress for cable and adsl are not static so if you ban an IP you risk to deny to play to a normal player . This is the reason why ban is on user i think

Putting incendiary powder back in explosive ?

ok, u can not have the perfect matchmaking but this one is really not working. My old car is not a corvette, i know, but if my car does not move at all it is a little bit different....that being an old slow car....
