Summary

So basicly this is a fun build to show that Engineers are a great melee class in itself. It utilizes the use off Pulls, Knockbacks, Blocks, Stuns, and your engineer active abilities. Its the balance between a Sword/Shield and Greatsword warrior from its great Dps and fantastic CCs and Blocks.

Weapon and Skill Details

The focus of the build is melee so your main use would be of the Toolkit. Its nail box and mines are a great setup before you use the magnet skill to pull in for great intro for a minor burst and a gap closer. Its Crowbar skill is good to use right before a volley to rack up massive confusion damage and following it up with the gear to block all damage. It has good PvP/WvW capabilities using the minor dps of the rifle for kiting and gap closing.


II. Traits

Adept Master Grandmaster

Trait Details

What I mostly went here was Stats and Skill Cooldowns. I found a valid survival exchange dropping some skills in Tools and Explosives for Alchemy and swap some skills for Boons and Vitality.

Upgrade Item Details

I'm not too familiar with the Ascended armor so my infusions might not be perfect for the role but this is something to strive for. If you notice on the Water Weapon, I used the Sigil of Superior Fire because I find the best underwater skill is the Grenade Kit in exchange of the Tool Kit because fish are nasty and I used to throw fire crackers in the lake and blow up fish as a kid, so it was sentimental. Blowing up Fish.
