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

Role: Assassin

Preferred Group Size: 1-10

The Power Tools Holosmith is an Engineer WvW build that uses the synergy of high movement and many dodges with the gadget skills and photon forge for a fast-paced playstyle. Entering and exiting the holosmith’s Photon Forge counts as a tool belt skill, so it triggers the tools traits of Static Discharge and grants vigor.

You want to be going in and out of the Photon Forge a lot, so the Vent Exhaust will manage your heat when you dodge. Using dodges even when you have nothing to dodge can be useful because it will cause your next attack to trigger an Explosive Entrance for even more damage, but be careful not to waste all of them. The strongest damaging skills in Photon Forge are the 3 and 4 but use the 2 constantly to leap and remove movement-inhibiting conditions and gain super speed.

Basic Rotation

• Forge > 2 > 3 > 4 > 111 > Dodge > 2 > 3 > Leave Forge
• Rifle 3 > Prime Light Beam > Rifle 4 > 5 > 2

In between your bursts, you can kite with Superspeed from Holo Forge 2 or manage your heat by using the Rifle 1 or Flashbang tool belt skill from a safe distance. Tool belt skills and the Utility Goggles cleanse conditions, so use these when under pressure.
