**PvE/WvW Builds & Advice**
The following are the current recommended builds.
Mortar + Elixirs (Long range.)
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?PeQAIlFwsYVMPWKm+WdtfA-zRRYBhBHF4zoVJQ6KANeRCgNwD-e
Mortar + Gyros (Tanky 100% critical build.)
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?PeQAIlRwgYOsHWKO0LvtKA-zRIYRUwfGRoAqQCY1LSYsBeA-e
Flamethrower (Higher DPS w/100% Stability up-time.)
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?PeQAIlFwsYVsOWJW+SftfA-zRRYbRBAH+yIiEI9CwkLiAUwB8kNQP9DWEVcD-e
**Additional WvW Build Options**
Mortar + Elixirs (Long range. Tanky w/3000+ Power, Permanent Quickness and Bleeds/Cripples.)
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?PeQAIlFwsYVMPWKOMTatbA-zVJYnRB/ZkmEIdFgHvIBwG4tIolG-w
MedKit (Maximum healing power!)
http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?PehAIJlNw8YPMH2Je2TntaA-zVJYjRVfhkUykaEUdJ47lIA7n3S/bWA-w
Stat Priority
I typically recommend prioritizing the following stats for solo play.
– Concentration (Caps at 100% buff duration)
– Power
– Precision
The 100% boon duration increase will allow you to keep up almost all boons all the time while in combat.
The +Power and +Precision help Scrappers achieve “bruiser tank” status by maintaining very high barriers.
I highly recommend Diviner’s gear until you’re able to hit 100% boon duration, then start subbing in Berserker’s when you’re significantly over the cap.

PvP Flamethrower Juggernaut

I do not claim to be the original coder of this project. I have recreated it and adapted it, improved upon it and tribute it’s creation to the hard work of the original creator Aardvark whom without them the idea for this would have never existed.
If ArenaNet drastically changes the game in anyway which results in this addon no longer being salvageable in it’s use, no refunds will be given and it may result in the addon no longer being supported or updated.

Incredible ACR. Doing things I didn’t even know Engy could do and I’ve been playing it since launch.
My performance with mortar kit and this ACR is actually better, and safer, than using Mechanist after nerf.
10/10 I will be back to buy the rest of the modules.

Love this ACR, its a favorite next to the inventory QOL. Dat really supports his stuff and if you have ideas that can make them better he’s always willing to listen and see if he can implement.
