Summary
Sinister Alchemical Grenadier Engineer
Build Philosophy
I love the mortar kit and grenade kit. Honestly, I didn't always like grenades very much, because they can be a pain in the ass to aim. Still, grenades are just fun, provide a ton of conditions for you to apply to targets; and using them keeps the game challenging. So, too, with the mortar kit. I also like the elixir gun and other elixirs, because they do some really neat things.
Ultimately, I believe you should play a class (and a build) you enjoy. If it's not fun, you're doing it wrong--even if your stats are as good as they can be, you have the best gear, and you're running a so-called "Meta" build. This is a game. If it's not fun, there is no point. Mortars, grenades, the elixir gun, and elixirs are fun for me. If they're not fun for you, you'll hate this build, and you should just move on, now, and save yourself some time.
Build Goals
- Prioritize high condition damage;
- Maintain respectable Power (regular damage) and Precision (critical hit chance) stats;
- Stay nimble, using traits to improve mobility and survivability; and
- Showcase the Mad Scientist / Mad Bomber side of the Engineer profession.
Author Info
This is the build I am using for my Level 80 Asura Engineer, Johwa. I play on the Ferguson's Crossing server. My guild is Quadriplegic Dodgeball League [QDL]. So, feel free to say hello in-game. I made this build, and shared it here, because I would like to get some constructive feedback from the community about how to improve my build, while remaining true to the playstyle I enjoy.
