Guild Wars 2

Power and Condition majors, with Precision and Boon duration minors.

Overall it would be less raw damage than berzerkers, but it would seem to make better use of the fact that most engineer abilities are all a mixed bag of raw damage and condition damage, so specializing purely on one at 100% seems to leave you missing out when you could have both types at 80%

Precision would come in to play when ever you have a trait that triggers on crit, and boon duration would enhance elixirs and stack with HGH in a way.

It just seems like the most versatile attribute option for the engineer.

Now I just need to figure out how to get these.

Expertise is condi duration increase not boon duration, but yes it’s a verry good stat for condi focused hybrid builds.

Ah, you’re right, I thought it was concentration, not expertise

I loved it 2 years ago, shortly before I left the game for the past 2 years.
after returning, I feel that kits are more profiled for either condi or power-dmg now, with the (possible) exception of nades+bleed.

Flamethrower now heavily promotes condi-stats and our mainhand-weapons are heavily biased to one ore another since ever. For wvw roaming viper seems still interesting since expertise on viper-stats outweights condi-hate, but for pve sake, I’d recommend to focus on one or the other exclusively.

Holosmith seems to utilize both tho, so I’d advise to not spend gold on gear until the xpac hits
