GW2. WvW Build. Tools Holosmith Roaming Build. Holosmith. Engineer World vs World 2023.
Last Update: Feb 2023
Overview
The Tools Holosmith uses Rocket Boots and the Rifle for plenty of mobility to disengage fights and look for opportunities to create kills with the Tool Kit and Prime Light Beam CC and burst combos.
Synergy
The lack of grenade kit allows the use of the fury trait to increase the DPS and burst of this build while also providing great synergy between Tools and Explosives because of the vigor damage modifiers in Tools and the on dodge damage from explosives for a very aggressive setup.
Playstyle
There are many avenues to combo CC your target. Use Magnet Pull from afar into Pry Bar. When in melee range use Overcharge Shot in Jump Shot. When further away use Prime Light Beam into Throw Wrench. Dodge liberally for extra damage and to reduce heat to allow you to stay in forge for longer in between the burst combos.
