Well tbh, u can play 1v5 against ppl from aurora glade with your schlong and still win.

Yeah that herald had me chuckling 😂

Yeah, I like this sort of build simply because you have so many tools for any scenario. The skill ceiling on this is higher than a nade build, so I'm going to keep at it for a while and see how I get on.

Big shoes to fill

@@ProzapGW big shoes to… Walk On [Walk]

The spirit of Wolfineer lives on! 🐺

You and me both!

Yeah, I'll play this build for a bit and see how it goes once I run into some decent players. The grenade build was stupidly strong against just about anything, so really this is an attempt to find something else viable/fun to play.

@@ProzapGW Yup, Nade kit is real strong if Holos and Scrappers use it, Mechanists just way too damn weak for pvp

There are a few guides knocking around. You need to make sure 'free camera' is checked in settings, then you will need to let go of RMB and click LMB before about face. It decouples the camera from the direction you are facing. I press LMB quickly now before about face as a habit xD Also, if you press RMB too soon after about face, it will swivel everything around again. It will just take some practice to get the timing down.

Thanks! I hope you have fun with it. Yes, it's marauder with 2 dragon trinkets, energy/cleansing and Chrono relic.

Thank you very much! I'll give it a try as soon as I hear it up :)​@@ProzapGW

​Rune?​@@ProzapGW

I swap gear around often, but most recently it's marauder with 2 dragon trinkets, durability runes, energy/cleansing and Chrono relic

To be honest I'm not a huge fan of rifle at the moment. It did have a few buffs, but also the AA was nerfed again more recently. The idea behind this build is maximising interrupts/CC, and Mace/Shield has 5 options for CC, plus a lot of sustain/block/reflect.. You could probably get away with doing a rifle version, but there are many situations where that would result in you getting eaten alive :)

I just missed april 1st. Tbh its not bad and a lot of fun to play. I just dueled a good thief for the last half an hour and won the vast majority of the duels (maybe 80%?). I feel it has good counter-pressure/unpredictable spike damage but sometimes lacks the chase ability or ranged damage pressure that you get with nades. For roaming its decent, but you get shut down by heavy stab users. If you are looking for a build that you always want to win with, pick any number of hammer grenade builds. If you want something different where you have to work a bit harder for your win, this is a good one.

Yeah, definitely worth considering.. Especially if you're running hammer instead of mace/shield. I'll give it a whirl at some point! You'd get a really long stealth with so many finishers too

​@@ProzapGW shortbow instead of hammer also works though, testing a slightly different build too, but i love it as holo variant more

@@RcTamiya91 yeah, i tried shortbow with this build too and it works well for damage projection at range (explosive entrance+bunker down) but i can see it working better on Holo. Scrapper with shortbow feels a bit helpless against multiple opponents without mobility or block

@@ProzapGW yea, i also tried a pure cc version using two turrets, i managed to lock down a single target for 30 seconds as holo with SB xD And ye the target used its stunbreaks

@@ProzapGW [&DQMVOy8vOS4qDxQBJgGGAIgAjQETARMBiQGJAQAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADNQBXADYAAA==] holobuild with SB, sigil on cc for quickness ist a must have, iam running sigil of vision for more burst on swaps and dragon gear with scholar runes and relic of midnight king (even more burst)

I believe this was a combination of berserker, marauder and then durability runes? I've recently changed to running full berserker and infiltration, deadeye or scholar runes, depending on your preference for crit chance vs crit damage. Personally I prefer deadeye as its in the middle. You don't really need the boon duration or toughness, and the damage is significantly more oppressive, which is important on this build.

Slightly less than function gyro. Normally ~3k against most. A good chunk of these opponents were cele or condi, so less than that against those. I think the scaling is 0.95 vs function gyro's 1.0 (or mortar auto attack 1.0)

Another point of reference is the rockets from aim-assisted-rocket (explosives) which have 0.5 scaling, so the bunker down mines do almost double the damage of each rocket.

@@ProzapGW yeah nice not bad

It could, although I think the damage output might be too low.. also you can see I'm already very tanky even with marauders thanks to the protection, barrier and healing power with Regen inventions minor trait.. 99% of the build's damage is strike damage too.

I'm using Chronomancer relic for the quickness. I just realised the relic wasn't on my build screen shot.. my bad! Mortar feels too slow without quickness! 😅

A lot of damage can be mitigated by moving and breaking line of sight etc, I think once you learn to move well in fights it gets easier! Mobility skills/leaps, superspeed and relic of speed are definitely your friend, as well as controls like 'about face' 😊

​@@ProzapGWwhat's the build tho? And can I use rifle instead of mace cuz I don't have soto

@@finnleyjack331 The build is shown at the start of the video. I would use hammer instead of rifle if you dont have access to mace. Hammer is probably a better weapon than mace/shield anyway (it is my favourite by quite some distance)...

@@ProzapGW I know, but rifle is so short on the cooldown and has a lot of utility and a controllable mobility skill. It can also cleanse 3 movement imparing conditions while also dealing decent aoe damage. Hammer as much as it is great, it feels clunky for me

huh, what about stuff like chrono relic, rage/celerity sigils?

Ur so stupid dont play gw2 ever

There are very few ways for engi to get reliable quickness now, outside of relics/sigils.
