Guild Wars 2

Getting ready to make the jump to Exotic gear and not sure what to invest in. Looking for some advice.

Here’s my current build:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcQQJAqalspyVHvSdF1LJRoCFG0j6rX+KqQ+/ogt0H

I currently run 100% Rampager’s armor/weapons/jewelry with 4/4 Major Adventurer Runes and 2/4 Major Engineer Runes

My playstyle focuses on using my pistols 90% of the time. I don’t like kits at all, but will switch to grenades if defending a wall. I love Elixir U. Mostly I just swap utility skills depending on my mood/current situation.

Should I stay with Rampager’s? Would I benefit more from Berserker’s? Or maybe some sort of split between the two?

I feel like I crit a lot but don’t do much burst. I also feel like I don’t lay on enough conditions to make condition damage that worthwhile.

Is there anything I can tweak with my traits that will help with my style of play?

I don’t I want to invest in exotic-grade armor to find out I don’t like it.

Most people go for Rabid when building a condition engineer, myself included. It gives you more condition damage than Rampager and toughness is much more useful than power for a pistol build.
Unfortunately Rabid is quite rare, you can buy a full exotic set for karma in Orr.

The only thing I can say looks like it is missing is mobility. I’d drop the ten points out of inventions and drop it into tools to unlock the Kit Swapping ability (you only need to equip the med kit if you don’t like kits, as you can keep swapping med kits to gain infinite swiftness, and the Heal skills is pretty darn good). Our mobility is amazing compared to a lot of classes, and can get you into, and out of, battle in a hurry if you need to. And it would synergize well with Invigorating Speed. Other than that, the only thing I can see to change is Rifled Barrels for Hair Trigger. Getting your pistol skills to recharge faster means you dish out more conditions more frequently, which helps boost your damage output. If you really want to keep the Rifled Barrels, dropping Infused Precision would be a good idea (especially if you go the Kit Swapping route where you can get swiftness at the click of a button anyway)

Good luck!

There’s also a set you can buy in trading post. Vatlaaw’s set. A bit more expensive than normal gear but it makes gearing up faster than just buying with karma.

Oh, that’s great, didn’t know that. Do you know what skin this armour uses?

Same skin as duelist iirc.
