nexeus7302: Hey mate. I have nothing against you, but this is blatant rip off of Hizen's build that he released almost a month ago while you had squishy hammer build claiming it was immortal which it wasn't, not even close. Did you forget all of a sudden that there's other GW2 content creators? I get it, you need to make videos, but this one is embarrassing. Also saying "this is my creation", no, it is not. It's Hizen's build.

JinjaJiang: Love all your videos - especially when they are for engi or rev :-) I am running 2 similar builds, one with no kits for when I am feeling a bit lazy and one almost identical to this but it is using the Carbolic Composition trait (poison on amalg skills). Do you find the increased uptime of the strains and flexibility to have them spread out increases the effectiveness enough without adding un needed complexity - I usually play my Rev when I want to "think" and play my engi when I am looking for a bit more of a spammy or lazy build. I've also dabbled with the tools trait line since it directly augments the morph skills - would the reduced cooldown from tools ever be worth it since you have the morph skills applying the strains in this build, IE more uptime of the strains?

I love all of the theory craft, tier lists, build guides and just the channel in general, a breath of fresh air for the GW2 community. Thank you Syrma

BelimaiSykes: .....I've been playing a version of this for a week now. Surprised to see it featured because I haven't seen it on any of the meta sites. I use grenades instead of flame thrower and the flex is anything with stun break, I use the stance usually as it's instant cast. The real strength is infinite alacrity. The key to the rotation I've found is stay in spear and just flip to grenades to 2 and 5 off cool down between spear 3 cycling. spear 3 nade kit 2 (5 if it's up) spear 3. Keep alacrity up. The spear does so much of the work when it has alacrity. Nade kit give you a lot of flexibility for range and cc. The ult melts defiance bars and you always have the ult because of alacrity.

Ironwu-s5h: Really like the Immortal builds! :) Having such a great time with the Catalyst and am building the gear and such for the Scourge. Have been hoping for an Immortal Engineer as that is a character I boosted a time ago, so already has full Celestial for most gear. :)

Now, if only we had a nifty Immortal Mesmer build that was not Mirage (I find Mirage a little slow going).

Thanks Again For This Great Addition!

BeardNRock: Hi Syrma Happy Christmas to you! Btw do you havy any idea for build and rotation on spear weaver (trying to make something before next balance patch but while all if fun there is problem with optimal rotation)?

ediGoesPRO: Fröhliche Weinachten!! Thought you gonna take a few days off?

vipanez5728: well its a great build but after some testing i have to say its not beating my open world untamed in terms of sustain :o I tried the champion spineshell impaler in starlit weald but 9 stacks of burning kills me instant xD And solo mai trin t4 fractal was also impossible for me with amalgam. So untamed ist still the number one for me when i need sustain. Good thing on ow amalgam is the great dmg for an ow build.

But for champion bounties its a strong build if u are engineer enjoyer :)

thegray0: always liked and followed your build guides, you're one of my favorite CC in gw2, but using other players builds without giving them credit do more harm than good.

please get back to the roots and do your own thing

Bitwise1024: Nice! I haven't tried Amalgam yet and I have everything I need for this build. Thanks Syrma!

ytth439: Thank you for the Christmas present! Will give it a try tomorrow

jaredfink5146: I did something very similar to this on a new meme toon that I thought would be fun swapping between spear and flamethrower. Amalgam is such a fun and diverse elite spec. Keep up the good work, Syrma.

raikiri_raiko: Nice to see you finally give Amalgam the recognition it deserves! :)

catniptrip884: well, a video on christmas. a lil present from syrma to the community. happy holidays.

Naviblood1988: You've truly become the T-1000!

Starthix: It's slime time baby!

matheusgazola764: This with Bomb Kit and quickness/stab on disable is such a smooth ride

danielfreitas9301: Don't forget: demolish and shred inside the fire field from flamethrower 4 generates even more combo burning and their cooldowns are very close so you can rotate the field->shred->demolish on the field cooldown. And with quickness, you still have time for spear dash for fire aura or flame blast for power application.

rafaelandrade07: Nice vídeo, but for me, engineer is so hard, so many skills to use

ijamie17: This build has been really fun and strong! I also really like that it uses elite specialization utility/healing/elite skills, I like builds that utilize them rather than just the base profession ones (the base ones can be really strong, but makes it feel less unique) :)

KirA-bz9tz: Hi, can u kill 4 djinns (vabbi doman)? Best test for a solo builds. (I did it by my condi reaper, urs old build)

Buran01: Does this works vs Ignis or Butch Legendary Bounties? Most of the Hero Point Champions and Bounty/Legendary Bounty Champions are easy nowadays, I only look towrads the ones which are really hard or annoying or hard to kill...

albertthonius9407: I already tried it and yeah it almost brain dead just spam off cooldown

hollowzangetsu: How are you covering perma quickness aside from elixir U ?

BraveryMix84: @Syrma: I main Engineer/Amalgam, though I’ve only been playing for a little over two months, so please bear with me if I’m missing something obvious. I noticed your build runs Steel-Packed Powder, Explosive Temper, and Big Boomer, all of which seem to revolve around Explosions. That’s where I’m a little uncertain. With Spear and the listed utilities, I’m not seeing many abilities that are explicitly classified as, or that directly proc, Explosions. The one exception I noticed is Explosive Entrance, which states: “Your first attack when entering combat explodes.” Does this mean that the first attack is treated as an Explosion and therefore triggers the other traits? And if so, are the bonuses from those traits largely limited to that opening hit, making them less impactful outside of the initial engagement? If I’m overlooking something, I’d genuinely love to learn, anything that helps squeeze more power out of my Amalgam is very welcome. I really enjoy your builds and videos, especially the Tier Rankings and Solo Builds. Fantastic work all around, and happy holidays to you!

subtleblow: Before you know it they'll nerf it into the ground because it's not shiny anymore.

vbenavides05: Is it better than the necromancer?
