Guild Wars 2

Right my engineer is lvl 80 and has run for a while with apothcary’s armour and defensive jewellry but i’ve recently changed to a more offensive based build. Got Pow, Pre & CD from CoF suit and Jewellry to match. Crit chance is at 65% condition damage at just over 1200 i think,

Got twin pistols goin although i do have a shield for certain situations.

Problem i’m having is in choosing the right traits & utilities to go with this? I’m primarily looking to WvW with this toon as there are easier toons to farm pve with. High damage is the goal here, if a little group utility can be squeezed in then cool but primarily its to burn faces

Any suggestions appreciated

With a high crit chance and cd build at a minimum you would want incendiary powder trait in the explosives line for burning procs on crit, 5 point minimum in firearms for bleed procs on crit and a sigil of earth for more bleed procs on crit. After that there are many ways you could go, you could go for a HGH elixir build, you could pick up an elixir gun for some group support, bombs for extra burning and confusion. Seeing that you run pow,pre & CD I would highly recommend using the toolkit, the pry-bar will hit hard and give confusion and the gear shield will give you some survivability. As for specific builds check out Amadeus’s post here in the engineer forum (will post direct link at bottom). He is amazing at making and implementing condition builds for the engineer, he posts his builds and videos. The great thing about condition engineer is that there are many different ways to build them, you are not stuck in one build for conditions like a lot of other classes.
