Gatsby.7420 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Hi! I'm a returning player that left the game 8 years ago. I used to enjoy wvw solo roaming on my engineer alot and I would appreciate some input about what specs and builds are the best for it these days.

ZeroSkitzo.5403 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Check GuildJen’s roaming build section. She has a few different builds listed. As far as strongest, I’d say nade holo is prob at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuma.1503 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I don't play nearly as often as I used to, but when I do, Tool's Holo is a good time. Amazing burst, on demand blocks, good mobility, good cleanse. Just struggles with CC if you're not careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silinsar.6298 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 (edited) Starting out, Scrapper is the most "core-like" elite spec, you only have to learn a few new abilities. The trait line itself provides good mobility (super speed) and utility (stomp / res gyro), from defense (stab, barrier) to offense (fury, might). Hammer is a great weapon. Holosmith's biggest advantages are the mobility, condi clear and bursts from forge. Using photon forge well is your bread and butter. I am personally not fond of sword since what it offers mostly overlaps with forge (melee attacks, leap, mid range projectiles). Don't play Mechanist, it's been nerfed multiple times now and has a stupid AI to deal with. Rangers are in a better state when you want a pet class. Right now they either lack damage or defense. You can make still make core work somewhat, but I wouldn't recommend that one either. If you insist on it, I'd suggest Explosives, Alchemy and Tools, those are the best core lines right now imo. Rifle's been in a bad state for a while now though so you likely need grenades for damage. 1 hour ago, ZeroSkitzo.5403 said: Check GuildJen’s roaming build section.

My impression is that most of the good trait / weapon / utility picks are there but distributed over the top 3 builds and every single one by itself includes some questionable choices.

Dawdler.8521 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Engineer basicly have a single kit that decides the overall build - nade kit. If you're good with it and can do 180 degree tosses comfortable, you go power scrapper (maybe holo). If you're bad at it, you go more bunker core, scrapper or mechanist.

SleepyBat.9034 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 This is what I run currently. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PegAw6lVw8YYMLWKO8TXPXA-zVRYVBLGNtzIQFQvSAFfACYz8Wo/1CA-w Pros: Great sustain, cleanse, and damage. Cons: Medium mobility, requires skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
