Playing the engineer “as intended” is simply not viable.
Staff build that isn't lousy in pvp?

u r not rly a free kill w tankier gears and the proper traits
for now u could pick maybe a mix of soldiers + clerics gears ..?
and start getting quartz crystals for celestial gears right away, usually those commanders expect the staff eles to be non glass
and ur title is pvp, kind of misleading, change it to wvw pls :p
Well, Earth 3 is good against Rangers as long as it lasts, if they don’t switch to GS that is.
Go with Celestial and you won’t be a free kill any longer. Playing the zerker staff can be kitten the moral. Be sure to go with the 00266 trait spec to give you as much chances as possible.
About thieves, yeah, we do tend to carry a huge “free lunch” sign over our head. It gets better with time but at equal skill it is a thief fight to loose. Otherwise, staff is pretty awesome in WvW no matter if you zerg or roam in very small group. You can even solo roam but you will need practice and a lot of patience.

This though with practice and celestial armor you can drop some points from water & earth & put them into fire or air for more damage & offensive utility.
A celestial staff ele is almost unkillable in 1v1 if you know how to play it. In a zerg just position yourself well and you almost never dies.
I recently started running with the following build: <a href=“http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQFAWnMISfD2zAuMAdEGoBwIeEmBinABgYYxkQTA-TJRHwAFuAAAeAAMLDoe/BA”>
You do really good damage, while being also a little tanky.
In this build you can easily blast your waterfields for a good amount of healing.
