Condition Gear Options
It generally comes down to rabid vs. carrion gear for this kind of stuff. I’ve always preferred carrion gear myself since you get a direct damage boost and a better armor-health balance, but it’s something you might have to experiment with.
There is no ascended gear that has carrion stats yet, so you’ll probably want to go rabid for those as well.
There’s also rampager’s gear, but I find that might not be as useful on an engg as it is on other classes, unless you’re perhaps also getting a fair bit of crit damage boost somehow.
As far as the perplexity runes go, it might be a bit hard to capitalize on that 6th rune bonus… it would depend on your utilities, although the shield could be very helpful in that regard as well.

Rampager’s is best suited for gk on a engi, but it does not have any survival stats. I still use zerker when using gk for pve at least. Apothecary gear and mixing trinket types can net having some good stat mix as in the example build and video that was posted. Rabid is a easy choice, gives high toughness and precision and is easy to get. With having b.o.b, shield (kb and daze), toolkit pull, and supply drop you have more than enough ways to interrupt people. If you feel you can get away from using elixir s, throw mine is a good option or even ft which gives an additional aoe blind and kb on a relatively short cd. If you watch the video, there are a few times where he gets 25 stacks of confusion on the target which is pretty bananas, sad that it takes 25 stacks to do the work that you could use to do with half that amount. When I do decide to pve with the build and runes in pve (mostly just soloing stuff) I can get 6k ticks of confusion since it did not get nerfed there lol and with the duration it actually makes it not worthless, unless of course you do anything with large amounts of people.
