GW2. WvW Build. Celestial Scrapper Roaming Build. Scrapper. Engineer World vs World.

Last Update: December 2023
The Celestial Scrapper is WvW roaming engineer build that has high amounts of hybrid damage from the grenades which can apply conditions as well as power burst damage. This can all be scaled up with the high amount of might generation this build gets from boon duration and the elixirs which trigger the Relic of Vass to apply poison.
Use your Tool Belt F1 to gain protection early on, then use the Function Gyro shortly after to create a lightning field and blast finisher in it. Due to your scrapper traits, blasting or leaping through fields will give you might and fury, allowing you to deal much more damage. You can also create finishers with Hammer 3, Elixir Gun 4, and Supply Crate. All of these buffs you want to use to modify your damaging abilities like Hammer 2/3 and Grenade 2/5.
Grenade Tips:
Setup your Ground Targeting option as “Instant” as well as enabling “Skill Retargeting” and practice aiming with your Grenade Kit while moving for better accuracy. This improves your damage output while under pressure or kiting drastically. If you still have issues to land grenades you can try using the option “Snap Ground Target to Current Target” and the grenades will go to your target as long you are in range, just make sure to detarget before using any other AoE like if you want to throw an elixir at your location.

Hi – what abilities do you use to stealth?
tell me is this build still relevant ? Is it possible to run in small groups in it ? Can I use condi runes or it doesn’t make sense. What do you say for the runes of the traveler ?
Yes this build is good and even better in small groups, you can take traveler runes for sure
Jen thanks for the answer and for your builds

Why Kinetic Accelerators in this? There are only one or two combos – would Adaptive Armor be better?
