how does power, work for engineers
I use grenades. I really like berserker gear, damage is very nice. Not warrior nice, but still nice. I tried condition damage as a main stat, with the “explosions cause bleed” trait and that was amazing damage too; I personally prefer berserker though.
ok but looking at the grenade set still that one does a lot of condition damage im wondering if I need the “fire arms trait” and power
Currently, grenades work all-right with power, they used to be really good with it. In my opinion though, ’nades are more suitable for condition spam. Add a ’zerker set though and you have the 100nades build, which is currently one of the hardest hitting builds on the Engi getting about 16k+ damage (Soon to be nerfed).
In general about engineers and power, they work fairly with it, especially in comparsion to necros. I find that Tool Kit and Bomb Kit benefit the most from Power specs, and flamethrower as well to a a lesser extent. With 2500 power, I get about 1200 damage from the bomb kit auto-attack, about 650, 650, 1200 from the tool kit’s. Rifle also seems to do a fair bit of damage benefiting from Power as well, a lot more compared to pistol.
Firearms is an overall great line that has many of the Engi’s most useful traits in it. Whether or not you choose to invest in it, depends on what type of gear you’ll be running. Some of the traits in I believe belong more in the Explosives line, like 10% more damage from the rifle and 5 stacks of vunerability on immobolize. I also think that Juggernaught and the amount of stack of might it gives makes more sense in the Power line.

where can I find this 100 nades build can you get me a link
Even if you feel it gains more from condition damage than from power, 30 in Explosives is still necessary for a grenade spammer because of Grenadier, which increases your damage output by 50% thanks to the extra grenade.
Running high in Firearms with that will make you extremely glassy, however, so take caution.
