Guild Wars 2

Of course, there are a whole set of skills for an engineer being an engineer. I’m only focus on those skills that will turn an engineer into an elementalist and be better at it.

From my understanding, the factors that make an ele are:

- Light armor class.

- 4 set of skills from 4 attunements with cool down in between switching.

- AoE/Range.

- 3 utility skills (you will see why I listed this too).

For the engineer to be a better ele:

+ Medium armor class.

+ Instead of being able to choose it utility skills, engineer can choose 3 out 4 attunements like skills set. Those skills are Grenade Kit, Bomb Kit, Flamethrower, Tool Kit. Also, there is no cool down time on the switching. The 4th set of skill comes from the weapon skill set itself.

+ If you look at those skills they provide quite a good range and dmg radius. Plus, the ease to apply wide ranging conditions compared to an ele is astonishing.

+ Each tool kit skills you choose provide an additional skill on your normal ele attunement skill bar. So, you get 3 utility skills from those kits. In addition, healing skill also give you 1 more utility like skill. In total, you get 4 utility skills instead of the normal 3.
