For engineers , bomb is the safest and strongest weapon at the same time.
You don’t even need to look to your foe , with speedy kits and power shoes u can just run and spam bomb skills with some mines. All melee foes will not be able to catch you , will they ?
I’m talking about PvE !

yes. you can start with smoke bomb if you engage more than 4 foes at a time, or foes with stun/knock. start with bomb3 then bomb2 if you want more damage. if all else fails run in circles and keep dropping bombs (i killed a champion this way). always kill the range mob first. damage for bomb1 is usually between 600 – 1200 (non-crit) and its aoe.

So you are saying that it’s stronger than traited grenade ? ( without critical attacks )

for solo, PvE & exploration = yes.
The smoke allows you to kill larger mobs (ie5-7 risen) in comparison to grenades (ie. 3-4 risen).
Grenades have the range advantage which is negligible except dungeons where bosses do 1 hit downs. Grenades are also better at stacking vulnerability, at the risk of you being more fragile.
All things considered (in pve) bombs are more efficient.
It seems that I should stay on my build which focused on bomb , mine and grenade. http://tinyurl.com/ap5uwkp
Keep using grenade then swap to bomb when being in melee range .

i wont bother swapping from grenades, Grenades requires you to have a specific trait
to be effective and usually you would get 1 hit before the monster closes in. Just use your rifle1 for range. The +power you are going get for explosives should make it viable and it frees you up for extra traits.
Edit: On that note, i wouldnt use P/P because they are outclassed by the bombkit and bring nothing to the fight.

I used to use Rifle rarely before the patch ( that made kit to be affected by sigils ).
Now I got P/P just for the sigils > bloodlust and battle , and I rarely use my pistols as I find explosives to be more than enough .

Up to you. I find in your case, having a rifle to replace grenades worth more than 1 sigil.
Pros:
-further range
-jump shot for jump puzzle
-1 more trait,
-1 more utility slot

Cons:
-1 less sigil
- Further range , but much less damage -2X and much less critical chances as grenade got the highest critical chances (3 hits in 0.5 sec ) for us.
- You can swap to rifle just for the jump puzzle !
- 1 more trait ? I have to get the 25th explosive minor skill to stack 25 Vulnerability in seconds.
- There isn’t any utility slot better than grenade as I focus on explosives ( all my build ).

That’s what i did and i found that i can clear areas a lot faster and never die in PvE again.
Swapping is not a problem at all , got Razer Naga mouse
Gimme a bro-fist man, gotta love that mouse, especially since dodging and all attacks can be done with only one hand, no need for shirt or ctrl + 1-= keybinds.
