I have been fooling around with a build the past couple days, looking at something to use when i get my engi to 80 (i currently have no endgame experience on an engineer). I have been looking at pure condition builds and then looked at how a lot of pistol / shield and toolkit skills benefit from power, so i figured how about somewhat of a hybrid.

I have thrown all this up and would like some advice on the build, stuff i could change or make better. My aim with this build was a reasonably sustainable build (having formula 409 for condition control, and nearly 1700 toughness with a little shy of 19k hp), With a decent amount of condition damage and some power thrown in to help accent those abilities that scale well off power.

I plan on running with Elixir H, Elixir B and Elixir S along with the toolkit in this build (Supply crate elite of course)

Well here’s the build and i welcome and constructive advice people would like to give

This is indeed a nice build.

However, if I were you, I’d alternate Carrion/Rabid equipment, so to obtain:

40% crit chance
20k life

Then socket the armor with
4xAltruism
2xWater
to obtain +30% boon duration and 3 stacks of Might whenever you use your Elixir H (every 25s if possible)

Then, remove 10 points in Explosives (yeah, you lose 33% to burn for on crits, and that sucks) and put 10 more in Alchemy for HGH.

While Invigorating Speed is good (Alchemy I) maybe you should consider dropping it for Fast Acting Elixirs (Alchemy II), but again, that’s personal preference
