Build Overview

guild wars 2 end of dragons - mechanist card

This Mechanist build is pretty easy and reliable, making it ꧙excellent for o൩pen-world play because you may come across players who don't know what they're doing (or you may be one yourself) and the situations you're in can vary wildly.

This build focuses primarily on explosions and bleeding. The rifle weapon and your mech can deal out significant bleeding, while the bomb kit and your mech create fantastic explosions. Goin𒁏g between your rifle and bomb kit will keep you going bet🗹ween short-range and mid-range, but you can also use a mace and shield to stay short-range, if that's your preference.

Specializations

The Specializations we recommend are focused on explosions and bleeding, as we mentioned, as well as critical hits.
