Guild Wars 2

Hi all,
Got a question regarding ascended armour and which type to go for.

This is for use in WvW as a roamer, I currently run a 20 10 10 30 0 HgH build with dire armour, rabid trinkets and dire weapons with Boon duration runes.

Now because of the cost, grind (I hate pveing for the dragonite) and time gating I really don’t want to make more than one set for my engineer I am wondering weather it would be better to craft an celestial set that way if I change my build in the future it is more middle of the road, and maybe run with traveller or divinity runes instead. So my question to the more knowledgable engineers here is what are you doing? Am I better going more middle of the road or sticking with dire?

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you’re not really sure, then yes, I’d say either Celestial or Carrion but if you only like going full conditions then go for whatever you’re using now.
I run Carrior armor and Celestial jewelery in WvW.

If you go full celestial you better have a build that goes with it or you’re gonna feel like you dont do as much damage on full cond or full power builds. I’ve been using celestial armor and trinkets for a couple months now and I wouldn’t go back to an other stat combo.

As for dragonites you can get a few in WvW depending on how well your server is doing and from wintersday gifts.

Thanks for that, yeah I got a few from WvW but only using 2alts you can get it a lot faster doing 3 temples and a world boss twice a day along with a load of rares, I have only just started PvE I was purely a WvW player but it’s amazed me how many drops you get in pve compared to WvW I know it’s a bit off topic but it’s still ridiculous how much wvw gets shortchanged.

I am going with Knight’s… BUT I’m the only engineer in GW2 that likes this profession more than any other while also hating their condition and static discharge specs :p

I’m not a big condition fan either. I currently run 0/30/20/20/0 FT/EG spec for WvW with Celestial. I’m slowly working to Celestial ascended, which I think will be worth the work. I prefer the more utilitarian specs.

I used to run a cleric build, then a power build. Once I got celestial i went a p/p SD hybrid build and kitten … I was impressed.

is there dire ascended? if so that

I finished my full ascended celestial gear today. Totally worth it for my grenade+bombs spec. For Speed Runs like CoF or CoE or other organisated dungons I switch on my warrior. Not because I could not do it with (zerker) engineer, but because zerker engineer with SC spec is so boring to me. So I really see no reason to go for ascended zerker gear for my engineer. He is a perfect choice for fractals, wvw and living story with its celestial gear.

i chose knights as well

i do a lot of roaming in wvw, need a power build for structure damage, need toughness for survivability.

but i merely disregard static discharge, and enjoy condi builds occasionally. youre unique in your hate.
