    Power Grenade Holosmith Roaming Build

    By Jen21 April, 2021Updated:19 February, 20257 Comments3 Mins Read WvW Builds

    GW2. WvW Build. Power Grenade Holosmith WvW Roaming Build. Engineer WvW. Small Scale WvW Build.


    Role: Assassin

    The Power Grenade Holosmith is a WvW Roaming build that can overcome almost any situation just by doing insane damage while kiting. It has medium-range burst damage from grenades and plenty of mobility from superspeed.

    Maintaining your heat above 100 is important because it gives might which not only gives a damage boost but also heals from alchemy traits and will give more condition to boon conversion when leaving forge. The mobility is high due to the super speed on Holo Leap, which will also cleanse Immobilize, Cripple, and Chill, allowing an aggressive playstyle that goes in and out.

    To keep your heat high without overheating, use Corona Burst and Holo Leap more freely. Use Photon Blitz only when you can guarantee the hit, just throwing it out and missing is a big waste of heat. Avoid Holographic Shockwave unless your heat is low. Corona Burst can be used at the end of your forge rotation and so long as you leave the forge before the skill pulses your heat to 100 you will not overheat.

    Grenade Tips:

    Set up your Ground Targeting option as “Instant” as well as enable “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.

        Not really a fixed rotation, use your Photon Forge skills to build heat and leave before overheat, while high heat you will do massive damage do free cast grenades, Barrage, and Sword 3 > Sword 2
