GW2. Best Open World Build. Power Scrapper Open World. Flamethrower Scrapper. Engineer PvE.
Last Update: September 2024
The Power Scrapper for Open World is an engineer build which invests heavily into damage because a percent of all damage dealt is granted back to you in barrier, meaning the more damage you deal the more you can survive, and since engineers can do many AoE abilities this can scale well into large numbers of enemies.
There are three different weapon sets to choose between. Swap to your hammer when attacking in melee range or single targets, the Flamethrower for more spread out clumps of enemies, or the Mortar Kit when attacking from range. This gives you plenty of versatility to keep attacking enemies no matter what kind of formation you are against to constantly generate barrier to sustain yourself. Plenty of superspeed access from the F1 and Gyros also helps to position the abilities.
You gain Quickness when using Combo Finisher Leaps or Blasts in Combo Fields. You have many options for combos:
Combo Fields:
- Blast Gyro (Finisher and Field)
- Function Gyro (Finisher and Field)
- Mortar 2/3/4/5
- Bulwark Gyro
- Flamethrower 4
- Hammer 5
- Medic Gyro/Tool Belt
Combo Finishers:
- Blast Gyro (Finisher and Field)
- Function Gyro (Finisher and Field)
- Hammer 3
- Flamethrower 2
Once you’ve gained Quickness, you can use the Flamethrower 1 skill repeatedly for heavy AoE damage.
Common Quickness Combo:
- Blast Gyro > Hammer 3 > Function Gyro > Flamethrower 2 > 111
If you need extra healing, use your Blast Finishers in your Healing Fields from Medic Gyro/Tool Belt and Mortar 5.

Hi all, was wondering if Dragon equipment would be a worthwhile investment with this kind of Scrapper or Mechanist OW build.
Is this better than the flamethrower Mech equivalent?
Is the Valkyrie amulet intentional or an error?
