Overview
Built around the toolbelt synergy of Tools and damage procs of Explosives, this WvW Holosmoth roaming build is capable of doing massive burst damage without much setup. While the sustain's not that great by default, there's plenty of room for customization in the build that allows players to finetune things for their needs.

Ratings
It's a bit like Fresh Air Ele but for Engi. Great damage, has just enough cleansing, uses superspeed and blinding skill to stay ahead and kite. Requires a careful playstyle as it can be rather squishy at times, but has all the tools to be a strong duelist when played right.
