Vagrant.7206 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 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:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFAUncTBlXhVXB2XBEqilJjS8ZKgAgeuz7A/74WumD-jJROABAs/AMlBQ/CAI/DAAAI 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:http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFASncoCFpitbBuoCkfhlKjievr78WcZCgyDM6quOC-jJxWAB4WGwxHAQzXAAA2fAAThe 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yannir.4132 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFASncoCVWhtoCGpCEqilKjievr77WcZCgwL86CrvC-jJhYABzWGw3HAwvXAAA2fAAI 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.

ApaWanka.2698 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 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) http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQJAqensTBtbhFpCepCsehFDjKMAuv8Tc/6v/jOxf8KH-jpwOABAs/g1lBAA(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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenity.6304 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Is there any scrapper build without elixir gun? I can't stand it, though I know it's good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagrant.7206 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Share Posted July 17, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullixin.9462 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 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.
