Scrapper Open World Build

GW2. Best Open World Build. Flamethrower Scrapper. Engineer PvE.


Last Update: December 2023


Overview

The Flamethrower Scrapper 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.

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.

  1. Hi all, was wondering if Dragon equipment would be a worthwhile investment with this kind of Scrapper or Mechanist OW build.
