GW2 Rifle Power Build - Burst + Modest survivability

S

Soupnotzi

No Soup for You!
I play the engineer profession exclusively and have strickly done sPVP. I'm not a pro by any means, but 1v1 1v2 I do pretty well. So during each stress test and beta I have been trying out differnt builds.

IMO, full turret builds are fun as hell, but lack dps.
Pistol / shield is great for survivability and condition builds.

My last build was really fun to play because you could still use the rocket turret. While I was protecting the Graveyard in Forefire, I'd place the rocket turret in the middle of the node while behind a pillar. They always went strait to the turret to destroy it. So I would explode the turret on mele classes, net shot them and burst them down.

Here's the build I used. Statck Discharge is amazing dps and with 3 toolbet damage skills all three get a discharge.

Nice build. I didn't get the chance to play during beta weekends, but in the time I did get to play, I think I preferred gunplay to turrets. Did you get a chance to try out dual pistol? How did it stack up?

I did try out dual pistols, but to me glue shot is just too short of a immobilize and you have to aim it. (which i dont like) I enjoyed rifle so much more after getting my sequence of skills under control.

I recorded alot of my matches just to review and see what I was doing wrong, what oponents were doing etc. It helped me alot.
 
Yeah, I found glue shot to be very difficult to use. That's not a bad idea to record yourself playing. Is there a free or cheap software that you'd recommend for that?
 
I use Fraps, but the free version only records 30-60s of video. Not very useful imo. I'm not sure which free versions out there have unlimited recording. I just liked the ease and quality of FRAPS. I Paid $30 for full version.
 
To be honest, I find Medkits a little hard to use, but very effective. The toolbelt heal is on a 15s cd and gives a nice big heal. Since I traited for swiftness on kit swaps it just works pretty well. I usually throw down all my med kit packs on a node when I start to defend.

BTW. Anyone else see that the gw2skills builder is showing white txt on white background for descriptions. I cant read anything.
