Hello,i’m testing during this days a build based on bleeding,poison,buring,the 3 most accessible conditions of the engy.
I wanted to use gears ,runes and sigils to spend the less gold possible,and yet to be able to play against my enemy.
So the build is : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fdAQJAqelUUpvrtbx+KseVCbBNqxEqKCqNIyOWlPGhAA-T5QFgAAnAgkHAQ6+DAA
As told already,focused on bleeding (mostly eg autoattack bleeding + swap sigil) poison (pistol #2 and elixir gun #3 ) and burning (passive trait + rocket kick).
I use rocket boots and EG #4 mainly for the mobility during fights,and combine em to blast my water fields.This plus the passive healing on kit should help your HP during the fights.
Elixir S is as usual an emergency exit button i have on my utility.I’m not that skilled,so i sometime need stealth or invulnerable ability to run away,or to have some second of break.But you can test a 2 kit (EG and tool kit or EG and nades etc etc , they are fun and works well too with this runes).
I think the build works fine against every class if played by a skilled engineer(it’s always a condition build,it wont be that hard to use),but i’m not that skilled even if i play this class from 2 years,so i still have troubles sometimes.
The builds lacks AoE dmg(EG #3 and #4 are great but sometimes not enough) ,so i have problems with stealth/blind spam D/P theives mostly(problem i don’t have when i use bombs).
For the rest,i think all the classes can be killed with this set.It provides also a good 1 vs 2 experience sometimes.
Especially fun to fight against due to the mobility is D/D eles and sword/dagger theives,i really have fun when i fight em with this setup,mainly because you both will fly/teleport around during the fights.
For the setup i use rabid armor,runes of the krait , sigil of geomancy,sigil of Earth , ascendent condition dmg rings with some vitality and tougthness.
The build can be used with granades too,but i really dislike this kit ,cause the aiming + granade travel speed it’s a real pain on my experience.But test it with passive bleeding from sharpenl trait and you will have some fun if u like nades.
Ehm,sorry for my grammar and poor english.I hope you can undersand what i wrote anyway.
That’s all ,cya guys.

Trait set up is pretty standard for engi condi builds nice to see you personalized it. I run one very close to your setup and yes it is quite strong.
I run a more hybrid oriented build with similar utilities and I prefer [fireforged trigger] over [hair trigger], ’cause I find myself using the EG like 80% of the time anyway and getting more [super elixirs] is always great (since condition cleaning remains a weakness).
