Ivantreil.3092 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 After the Buffs they gave us on Firearms, my winrate with Drunk Engi finally skyrocketed and pushed me to the top 100!The build updated: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFAUlcTh6rY1Vw8KQ+FLTGF9cn3BOY1ldhkYzUABAA-jJRaAB4+AAE+CAg5+DAUGAAI ditched out the Seeker stats over Berserker stats, as from my exp, it seems that the extra concentration resulted to be overkill and those points could be better spent in damage.Swapped from Skilled Marksmen to no scope, as the raw ferocity results more valuable than a cd reduction for the rifle.And finally, i Swapped projection Injection to Invigortaing speed, since the protection given didn't seem valuabnle for me anymore, most of the time it's impact went unnoticed, i simply found having perma vigor more valuable overall, everything else remains exactly as i left it.I have no plans to re-publish it to Metabattle, at least not yet, part of the build relies on being a surprise factor for the Enemies, and i'm completely sure many skeptical people will downvote the build without even trying it, so i'll hold it's publishment until the Scourges nerfs get released.

Vagrant.7206 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 How well does this fare against SB's and scourges? Boon stripping/corruption are part of why scrapper (which this build relies upon) is not in a good state, generally speaking. If that 25 might or stability gets ripped, it seems like you're dead in the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that 25 might or stability gets ripped, it seems like you're dead in the water.And you are not Wrong, at least with Scourge, SB Boonstrip is predictable and ive been dodging their counterattacks very well, their boonstrip bubble is a shame, you cant do anything other than wait the bubble to dissapear, but overall, the Spellbreakers arent thhat hard to deal, i do not recommend them to duel them though unless you have your Elixir X up, or unless the SB lets you kite them for free, with Elixir X, SB are a breakfast to duel, at thhe end, you popup way more boons than what the SB can remove, so no problem with them at all.Scourge however, they are defenitely the main counter of this build and the reason im holidng the publishment until they get a nerf, theres no way to duel a good scourge, even with a surprise attack from Stealth they change the tide of the battle so quickly with their obscene Boon corruption.So how do i duel them?, simple, i don't, i only face Scourges as a +1 and if i can make my teammate eat the focusing instead of me, or unless i know the scourge is bad an will let me kite for free, the only way to deal with them.Everything else is the same exp just like Meta Holo.

zoopop.5630 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 it's nice i played around with it for a bit while back, my only concern was that it lack 1vs1 potential burst and mobility heavily compared to my current holo build.Your presence in mid battles however are notice and the ability to condi clear/keep yourself properly alive is up there.

Ivantreil.3092 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 And the Season is done!The results!(65% of these matches where done before the No Scope Buffs)Wins: 115Loses: 86Final Spot: 62After Several Season of playing this build, i finally got a season where achieved top 100 with it!, i'm so happy of the results, and i find it funny that it was in this season, considering this is porbably the most oppresive season for like play a Boon based build, if things go alright, and next season Scourge gets his nerfs, this will become Easily a Solid build for the next Season!

You usually killed me once before I realized what you were doing, then I came back with a vengeance. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
