I already have a full zerker set of Ascended gear on my Engineer (for PvE) and was wanting to make another set for WvW. It looks like the best options right now are Rabid, Dire, or Celestial. Is there any consensus on WvW gear for Engi? Input on Runes/Sigils/Traits/& Skills would also be appreciated!

For zerging you would go either celestial or clerics with elixir infused bombs.
Celestial is also useful if you wanted to do a celestial rifle power build for roaming.

Ahh thanks for the input. I’m probably going to do celestial just because it seems the most versatile at the moment. Should I go with Boon Duration upgrades (4% each) and runes of might for might stacking?

For celestial hoelbrak is probably a valid choice for larger scale fights. For roaming strength may get you further.
Keep in mind outside of needing ascended armor to slot agony resist or if you plan on pure minmax with infusions it’s a huge waste of gold. Trinkets and to a lesser extent weapons are easier/cheaper to come by. The stat benefit from armor is basically none. Also ascended weapons benefit direct damage the most meaning you might want to just get the trinkets ascended and keep the rest exotic.
As for sigils you can’t go wrong with battle/energy for hybrid(which celestial is). Replace energy with stacking sigil of your choice if you feel it’s better.
