If you are able to use Zerker, you’re able to use Assassin in WvW. If you have great critical damage, and your build lacks fury & high precision, Assassin could be great to mix in.

depends on what your running and how you plan to use it, for myself I use an assassin rifle to boost my crit chance up to 100% when all conditions are met for the traits

I do not see why you would WANT to build full glass on an Engi.

Why :

Might is SOOO easy to get on them when you have the sustain to build it.
They do not have sustained DPS. More burst. Other than Bomb1 and Nade1, which isn’t ideal with full zerk gear as its ground targeting.
SO much healing skills that will help a LOT to get SOMETHING that sinargizes well with it, Toughness/Healing power.

So just wondering how you plan to survive?
Unless you plan on Zerging mostly, in which case the question is pointless as ANY DPS build will work in a Zerg.

If you run a Static Discharge setup you got a very high amount of burst without really missing out on utility that much. It’s (still) a very effective setup in WvW and I have had great succes with it.

Pretty sure you run something to keep you alive instead of Full Zerker/Assassin?

a lot of engis (not only engis) run full glass in wvw (roaming) and have great sucess w it, u use active defence to survive (dodges, blocks, cc, etc) , or some builds (check that boom montages in ytb) kill enemy b4 they can kill u

I run full Berserker on my SD setup but make great use of active defenses like Dodging (in combination with a decent Vigor uptime), Blocking (Toolkit’s Gear Shield), pushbacks (Accelerant-Packed Turrets and Overcharged Shot), Immobilize (Net Shot), Leaps (Acid Bomb and Jump Shot) and sometimes Armor Mods (Aegis). You also got the Guard Buff in WvW that increases your health by 2,500 which is really nice.

I also use Vampirism Runes which are really a great benefit. Reasoning here.

Assassin build works great in wvw, tho i dont no about a full assassin build. the lack of healing ability is a major disadvantage tho. maybe use a few pieces to boost healing and toughness. that way you’re not super glassy. plus having a near 70% crit chance is really nice with how many heavy hitters an engi has.

Imo run Knight’s Armor with Zerk Trinkets. I don’t understand why Knight’s isn’t utilised more. You lose a small amount of power and some crit damage in exchange for a massive amount of toughness. It’s my personal favourite.
