Koroshi - Celestial Engineer SPVP/WvW Build Guide

[@SirKoroshi]

Here is my celestial engineer build, hope you guys enjoy and happy hunting!

[@IAmTheFreakshow]

How crap you were fast redoing this. GJ Koro ^^

[@Redbaron_Gaming]

Nice to see you back, Havent been on GW in ages. I used to play something not too dissimilar to this build, this seems to have the final link that mine was missing though.

[@GoYouGoME]

Thanks Koroshi, I had an experience scroll and a ton of tomes of knowledge so I decided to use my last character slot on an Engineer. They look more fun than a warrior and ranger (I have every other profession at max level) and having access to a many weapon kits without the repercussion of a weapon swap cooldown seems overpowered at the moment.

[@Artur3x]

Nice build and awesome video :) I was trying to find some deeper information about your build and I have one question. What infusion are you using on that build? Resilient ?

[@jukenukem5629]

Hey Koroshi, at 1:18 your grenade barrage animation shows burning grenades, is that a trait or something? My grenades barrage throws normal grenades.

[@SirKoroshi]

Legendary rifle changes it

[@mellaniocz]

Wau, awesome job ! What class (build) u think is best for 1v1 1vx and small battles like 2x2 3x3 = just roaming with friend. I think celestial engi can be at 1 place of ladder, maybe with condi engi or D/D ele. What u think pls? I want to reroll to some great class for this purpose.

[@Yaeshi]

Thanks Koro, Now there will be only celestial engis everywhere! You started it again gz :D :D Kappa

[@roanwestraat9604]

How do you feel about the bomb kit swap instead of nades? Obvious a lot less damage without the Vulnerability, but the other utility is so tempting.

[@Lone1Wolf8]

please answer. i got my friend to play this game and hes gonna run thief. not sure what kind but hes going for a lot of stealth and burst. now i wanna support him from a range but still be able to handle ppl on my own. is ranger good in this situation. if not then what class would you reccomend

[@bertdebakker5689]

What food/sharpening stone is this build using?

[@ng429]

***** I've been looking at WvW builds for my engineer, only ever really done pve myself and using full assassins (not exactly WvW friendly). have you recommendations on runes/sigils changed since the might update? (generosity would be nice, but thats just not something I can afford haha) I run sigil of strength in pve, but I also have 60+ crit change standing in LA. Also, what do you think of aristocracy runes with celestial. increased might duration and condition damage?

[@Dweeb113]

Are you running full exotic or ascended perhaps? I am sorry if this has been asked before, I tried searching but have come up with nothing. There's some info in your guide but it's only about crafting. I'd really like to hear your opinion on ascended celestial vs exotic celestial and of course your personal preferences.

[@williamemmet9896]

What kind of armour stat boosts do you use? I'm trying to switch my PVE build to a decent wvwvw build, and I am using yours as a model. All my armour stats increase toughness, healing power, and condition damage. What should I be switching to?

[@Ballistah]

Hey Koroshi, what stats/equipment are you using in WvW? Sorry when you told it in your video and i not heard it because i am not a native English speaker.

[@Bongo_OG1]

Hey Koroshi :) is all your gear Celestial like your trinks ? and what food do you use ?

[@Scarcial]

I've been running pretty much the same build for a while now, except I like switching protection injection for backpack regenerator unless I find lots of disables when roaming. As far as sigils go you forgot to mention sigil of cleansing as an alternative to generosity, I fell like it's really strong to be honest.

[@GMotarfish]

what infusions do u use on ur defensive and offensive slots confused on that part :)

[@benparker3528]

Are you full celestial, including weapon and trinkets? My celestial builds I tend to go zerk weapons and trinkets for a little extra dps.

[@grumpyoldbum]

what armor would you use insteed of celestial

[@tarkanschneider1198]

i'd suggest going for 60044 as that gives you a lower recharge on your tool kit and 10% extra dmg on pry bar - also a nice free recharge on all your tool belt skills at 25% health because of all your healing power i'd also always run backpack regenerator and maybe go for elixir gun as it gives you extra power, 1 20s condi cleanse and a stunbreak at the cost of less mobility - not that much of a problem with the rifle tho imo but that's just the (usual and also my) way to play it, yours seems nice as well

[@AzeroxKingdom]

are you using "rabit" or "knight" armor???

[@JebroUnity]

Hey man! Im running the same ish build in WvW atm. Having been back into sPVP (ofc) :D more than WvW, Ive started to get more involved in WvW. Just as a thought, with the new might changes inc from the new balance patch soon (27th Jan) Im thinking of a move to shield, with bomb kit to stack the might I may be missing, any thoughts yourself in terms of WvW?

[@SirKoroshi]

Hey Jebro

[@JebroUnity]

Im def gonna use bomb kit more often, Ive been using it for months now instead of the nader cele build xD Just find it more fun personally as well tbh xD

[@corvuschaos8238]

Hi, what statistic in the weapons and armor parts you choice?? precision+power+ferocity?? or some thing else??

[@SirKoroshi]

It is celestial. All stats.

[@DatBoiPinky]

did anyone hear him mention what foods he is using?

[@starboyz16]

Thank you so much for this video it really REALLY helps!

[@deepelements]

I just started gw2 again and i'm wonder what to lvl up my ranger or eng. which class is harder to kill in wvw? thats what i'll be doing most of the time.

[@SirKoroshi]

Engi has the better survivability and better reaction on encounters than rangers. Rangers have safer killings in 1 vs 1 tho.. but once its 1 vs x they start having loads of troubles.

[@deepelements]

***** ok cool thx

[@GhostDaddy87]

Whats the status on this build update?

[@doktorbaum3855]

Hey Koroshi, Can you tell me the name of your armor, like i know the shoulders and gloves, but the mask or the other stuff? I would really appreciate it :)

[@SirKoroshi]

Head: Phantom's Hood Shoulders/Gloves: Hellfire Rest: Arah Weapon: Legendary rifle: Predator

[@doktorbaum3855]

Well thanks man :)

[@GhostDaddy87]

r u gonna update this build anytime soon?

[@SirKoroshi]

Yup Just recording the footage right now

[@nickaustin316]

***** please update double kit condi too ty you rock

[@GhostDaddy87]

***** u r the man

[@SuperNinjaleprechaun]

***** You are a legend

[@LePetitCitron-guy]

need new guide

[@jayquan17ify]

Can you link your build?

[@quanphan2498]

is perplexity runes not good anymore?

[@xourn4806]

I'm curious, which of the builds that you've created do you use the most / is your favorite and is the "best" in your opinion?

[@SirKoroshi]

Celestial, i don't really go back to the other build.

[@dg-wi4wn]

So is he running Full Celestial (weapon/armor/trinkets)???

[@LesterRamos]

From the looks of it. Yeah, he is. :)

[@c4h4ck64]

celestial or static discharge/ power whats better in 1v1 and 1vX (not what makes more fun) ????? pls answer im really desperate :(

[@c4h4ck64]

oh and forgot i lready got most of my rings and accesoire zerk rings can i play celest also with that ?

[@SirKoroshi]

C4 H4CK Celestial can deal with more situations than S/D build... s/d just kills fast, but you will die just as fast and have barely any good survivability. You can only make celestial with celestial items... don't try to combine stats you will be a lot weaker that way. Since celestial gets + bonus stats.

[@c4h4ck64]

***** how can i farm quickly new ascended and if i cant is there a nearly op build for engis with zerker stats?

[@Koslors]

Koroshi will you ever do any starbound guides again?

[@SirKoroshi]

Probably not, sorry buddy.

[@Koslors]

:(

[@corvuschaos8238]

thx, for your answer. So, my second questions is, where I can get this celestial set. because on the trading company i don't see this items. I know then this all questions are noobie, but I am a new player, and this is hard for me. so sry for problems:)

[@SirKoroshi]

I made a guide for you here at the bottom: www.koroshi.net/forum/m/25875586/viewthread/17664785-celestial-engineer

[@corvuschaos8238]

ohhh, thx u very much:)

[@SuperNinjaleprechaun]

Would it be viable to get the major sigil of generosity as it is only 10 gold?

[@SirKoroshi]

40% chance is still decent, I wouldn't go lower than that tho, it might be better for you to run rune of the pack instead so you get higher crit chance to make it proc more often.

[@SuperNinjaleprechaun]

Ok. Thanks for the quick response :D

[@yeev6498]

Does anyone know a good build for pve that's not zerker? I like the rifle and was wondering if celestial will work for pve as well

[@SirKoroshi]

Sure it works fine, you won't do as much base damage as zerker, but it will deal high enough dmg... the only thing is the condi's will probably overlap over other conditions which means you are going to lose damage if other teammembers also use conditions.

[@BlueFlopy]

6:43 retaliation is a bitch isn't it? retaliation was about to go off so perhaps the grenades didnt get there before it went off after i saw the last toss, a downstate was unleased and "the fight of the downstaters" started :D

[@Default-e7h]

Can we see your items? D:

[@FatesDesign]

is this still viable?

[@h8tingit]

now this is what i'm talking about

[@ryyyav]

Can you share gear to spvp ?

[@SirKoroshi]

Celestial..... Hoelbrak rune, sigil of battle and doom

[@ryyyav]

***** I thought so. Thanks i will test this.

[@MaxiVoika]

No Stun breaks? -.-

[@SirKoroshi]

We have blocks, vigor and lots of cc.. do you really need them?

[@MaxiVoika]

Depends on the enemic ofc

[@Darakrys]

Good build!

[@Oddgaron]

Hoelbrak too expensive QQ... plz recommend something else!

[@SirKoroshi]

Rune of the pack

[@Oddgaron]

***** ty :DD, can u recommend food ?

[@Galadriel1976]

Your server pls?

[@SirKoroshi]

Gunnar's hold and crystal desert

[@jonasalmstrom4986]

***** That's quite ironic, Because Gunnar's hold was always a pain in the ass for Ring of Fire :D

[@ShirimaVOD]

Hello siiir :D Humm I'm french in fact, and ehh some time in you'r video i don't understand the words, can you be more slowly for the next build pleaase :3

[@SirKoroshi]

Will try so next time, thanks for the feedback!

[@ShirimaVOD]

***** And you did a great jobs bro :3 #sorryformybadenglish :D

[@canwoop]

EqquaDon | Shirima You might want to play the video at half speed. It's probably too slow, but it might help.

[@carstendodo9500]

EqquaDon | Shirima I'm German and I do understand every word :D

[@1who4me]

This build is no longer viable, is it?

[@qazimoontaha5555]

man your op.

[@Lucaslbts]

You should show your equipment, not just tell what it is. It will make a lot easier to the viewer than wathcing the whole video to find the part you say it. Just constructive criticism, great video anyway.
