Guild Wars 2

So I wrote up a giant essay on my requisites and such that, in the end I found pointless so I’ll cut to the chase: Will I be able to command effectively as an engineer, and if so, what are some builds that would be suitable to the position?

bunker with bomb, eg kits and roket boots/elixir S

survivability and good cond res

make sure you group w/ a guardian or 4 at all times so they can donate some stability

I’ve been running almost this exact build except with mostly exotic settler gear (because I have found about 4 complete sets of the trinkets and wanted to use them, plus I’m a Charr so Leftpaw’s Pistol and Shield just fit thematically) and undead runes for a little more con dmg. Damage is meh, but it is super durable. I leave bomb and tool kit (gear shield block is strong and magnet is lulz) stapled to the bar and switch between elixir gun and rocket boots and occasionally grenades as the situation dictates. Something like this build
With the heals and CC it acts as a force multiplier and really shines in lord rooms when everyone is bunched up. In more open fights, there is nothing better than spotting a few injured allies pulling back until you drop the heal turret & water field blast and then they charge back in there.

What do you guys think of this build? It looks a bit wonky, as all of my builds do, but I’d like to stay away from the condition meta and prefer rifle (OP siege placement). I like rocket boots for their obvious utility as well as the ability to blast my water fields, and when swapping out Elixer B for slick shoes I can cross huge gaps when running havoc while acting as a support anchor of some sort. Still not sure whether Elixer B or Elixer S would be more beneficial.

The feedback is greatly appreciated, thanks for all of the replies.

The one in my sig is great for a supporty role in zergs.
