Power Core Engineer Open World Build

GW2. Best Open World Build. Power Core Engineer Open World. Engineer PvE.

The Power Gadget Engineer is an Open World PvE build with many disables and projectiles to burst enemies while keeping them under control. The Rifle is the main weapon, but the Mortar Kit can also be used for more AoE or a ranged option that allows you to shoot backwards when kiting.

This is a combo build that gains quickness and stability when disabling an enemy to quickly finish combos before enemies can react. The Gadget skills do high amounts of damage while also dazing, stunning, or knocking back enemies.

Basic Combos

• Rifle 4 > 3 > 5 > F1 > 2 > Battering Ram
• Orbital Strike > Throw Mine > Mortar 4 > 3 > 2 > 111
• Rifle 111 > Slick Shoes > Mine Field > Battering Ram Tool Belt > Detonate Mines

You can dodge at any point in these combos to gain another burst from the explosive entrance.

The AED heal skill can be difficult to use because it does not heal much unless you take fatal damage wile the buff is active. You need to play recklessly to take enough damage to heal from it. However, CCing enemies might prevent them from triggering it. Simply use all your CCs before casting AED and keep attacking but saving your cooldowns for burst combos later while the buff is active. If AED fails to trigger, you can still do a healing combo to sustain your life.

Heal Combo: Orbital Strike > Mortar 5 > Throw Mine > Detonate Mines > Rifle 5
