So i’m looking for some advice on a good build, which could be used either for dungeons or for WvW/roaming. I haven’t got a great deal of experience as i have only been playing for a couple of months. so here’s my issue, last week i was lucky enough to get tequatl’s hoard, and at first i was well chuffed but i haven’t got a clue in what to do with it. At the moment i have 3 lvl80 characters being a warrior, engineer, and a mesmer, could any of them classes use this weapon in terms of a reliable build, as i won’t be getting an ascended weapon any time soon!

Sunless weapon have the rabid stats, right? So that means you should use it on a condi build, which aren’t that good in dungeons, but for WvW roaming there are several good condi and hybrid builds, especially for engineer.
Both warrior and mesmer also have good condi builds, but i personaly don’t like them much.
So your options for weapons would be getting a pistol or a shield for engie, sword or longbow for warrior, staff or scepter/torch for mesmer.
You could also try to make a wvw build that uses a different weapon with those stats if you would like or just get the skin you like the most and ignore the stats or the weapon itself.

Most definitely, you’ll want to take this weapon into WvW, and you definitely want it on your Engineer.

Engineers make great Condition Damage users due to an overwhelming access to all damaging conditions save Torment. They also make great Hybrid fighters for Solo’ing Dungeons or general PvE, so there’s also that.

But as a general rule, Condition Damage is rather moot and useless in Dungeons and Against most world bosses due to Condition Caps.

Here’s a Link to the Meta Build for Condi Engi Roamer:
