OK, I’ll start by saying that I’ve been playing engineer since release and it is the one class that I’ve had a lot of fun playing. I mainly do WvW, which brings me to why I’m posting this. I’m currently running a P/P condition build which is doing surprisingly well (even when out manned) but it seems like I’m missing something that I can’t really put my finger on. So any insight would be appreciated.

Armor: a Mix between carrion and rabid (6 Sup Runes of the Undead)
Weapons: Giver’s pistols x2 (sup sigil of agony/earth)
Back piece: Bowyer’s Delight (Malign WvW infusion)
Neck: Symbol of the Deceiver (Malign WvW infusion)
Earring’s: Chrysocola Orichalcum Earing of the Carrion x2
Rings: Chrysocola Orichalcum Ring of the Carrion x2

Traits: 10/30/0/30/0
Explosives: Incendiary Powder
Firearms: Rifled Barrels, Hair Trigger, Coated Bullets
Alchemy: Fast-acting Elixir’s, Blood Injection, HGH

Utility: Elixir H, Elixir B, Elixir R, Elixir S, Supply Crate

I just realized, I should have also put down my stats (too tired to think).
Power: 1436 Attack: 2465
Percision: 1458 Crit Chance: 30%
Tough: 1182 Armor: 2246
Vit: 1810 HP: 24,022
Condition Dmg: 1424 Condition Duration: 30%
Boon Duration: 30%

Tool Kit , you missing that Block , Caltrops for control , that pull and the world renowned Prybar..how can you live without that baby..it scales exceptionally well off power not to mention that gamechanging 5 stacks of confusion

Hit somone with that and they rethink their life.

I never expect to lose. Even when I’m the Engineer , I still prepare a victory speech.

I run a P/P SD hybrid – using 1/2 Berserker and 1/2 Rampager armor w/6 Superior Rune of the Undead. Traited 20 20 0 0 30. And use level 80 Pizza.

With the Superior Sigil of Battle and Superior Sigil of Corruption (and gain Might when use Med Kit Trait) I can keep my total Attack around 3,200, Condition damage around 1,400, Critical Chance 33%, Critical Damage 60% and Condition Duration at 60%.

I use EG, Rifle Turret (for SD/Suprise Shot discharge) and Tool Kit.

It’s been working well for me. I too have over 1,400 hours in an Eng Build. Started day-one on the 3 day head start. This build is working well for me in WvW (and PvE farming and Daylies).

The way that the Trait line couples Power with Condition Duration almost begs you to bump it up – even if running with Pistols. Maybe try that?
