Hi all. I’m coming back to the game after a bit of a break and need some gear advice. Last I left my engineer it looked like this http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fdUQFAUlsTpWrlcxdLseNSdBNyosFQHgE0VRmwYA-ThiDwALeAA9UeEUJWATEdVCCw8iL1focBA+oDw++DAA-e. Looking at the armor and trinkets I can’t for the life of me remember what I what I was trying to make so I thought I may as well get a new set or two while I wait for the expansion to come out.

So I’m looking for any gear recommendations for dungeon run and maybe some WVW. I never really got into WVW that much and was thinking I’d try it out a bit more. Do I need two sets for small man and zerg activity? Can I get by with just one WVW set (yes I’m lazy :p)?

Also maybe some alternative trait choices? I’m keeping my utilities, heal, etc, as that is what I find the most fun, but I wouldn’t mind changing up the traits to maximize what I can do within my build.

Cheers in advance.

Are you sure your build doesn’t have Juggernaut traited? With the Altruism, Medkit, Sigils of Strength and Battle it feels like Juggernaut should be in there.

I would seriously consider changing your heal to Healing Turret.

As for gear, in PvE full Berserker is generally preferred, but your build is also far from the PvE dungeon meta. If you’re going to be doing open world events then honestly you can play whatever you want.

For WvW if you must keep your utilities perhaps something like this. I haven’t used FT in a long time so this could be way off. Just be mindful of Retaliation or you’ll get yourself killed.
