Gw2 | Cardinal Sabir CM | Power Scrapper

Power Scrapper is a pretty easy class to play decently. It doesn't have a strict rotation but only 2 skills to use off cooldown and a priority list of filler skills to use in between. Mastery of this isn't easy though, and I'm not even close, but my dps is still fine.
Thanks to the Scrapper minor trait "Impact Savant" Scrapper converts 5% of its damage into barrier, and thanks to the Explosives Grandmaster trait "Big Boomer" it heals itself after hitting with an Explosion skill. As an engineer, Scrapper also has access to A.E.D. which can be used to prevent the next lethal hit. On Hammer#4, Scrapper also has access to a channeled block. All of this makes Scrapper pretty tanky, too.
A.E.D. is especially useful on Sabir as it can be used to skip both the wave and the corner attack. For the wave, players usually have to walk into the white tornadoes or use their special action key (SAK) to blink over the wave. This makes them lose their SAK buff though, which is a 25% damage buff (5% per Violent Currents stack, 5 stacks max). Engineer can just use A.E.D. instead and keep its stacks (see 1:09, 1:35, 2:22). For the corner attack, it's just a matter of losing dps uptime by walking away from Sabir (see 2:54).
