Guild Wars 2

Hey Guys,
I like the Idea of playing Engi with p/p and i saw even some Engis running it at SPvP with good sucsess so i tryed to make a build for PvE,-WvW to run p/p.
Actualy i tryed the Build above but this isnt doung as well as i was hoping.
Maybe Some Guys of you can help me out with my Build and my Equip.

Gear:
Im Going full on Rabid Gear to get most Condition Dmg as possible and even try to be tanky so i wont die at zergs in 1-3 sec.
My Goal is it to deal as much Condition-Dmg as possible but still be a bit tanky.

Traits:
If you take a look at my Skills and my Traits you will see im building a bit on the effects of the Toolbelt.
Something like spamming p/p 1-5 Skill then using Toolbelt skills for the Lightning-Bolt =4 Lightning-Bolts and repeat it again.
Problem is i dont get much Condition Dmg from Bleed and Burn cause i dont do much Auto-attacks because im allways spamming skills and even poision shoot (pistol skill 2) isnt including the effect of the trait for bleed.
So im doing less auto-attacks and didnt get much bleeds from it.

With the Traits i try to get some mobilisation, Condition-Dmg,Tanky and also some cooldown-reduction for my pistol.
With piercing shot i try to deal as much AoE Dmg as possible to infect many targets with condition.

Does someone of you got some advices to me to improve my Build and make it even more usefull? cause i feel a bit useless cause my condition Dmg isnt the best and my Crit chance is also not shining cause im less using auto-attacks

Im Open for every Help and will say thanks to every usefull help

There aren’t alot of things to look for when going for Tools as a Condition based build.

There are nearly hundreds of threads on t he use of P/P Might stacking. But if you’re allergic to that, a gadget / turret version can be perfectly viable.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/engineer/?2.1|a.1m.h16.a.1m.h5|0.0.0.0.0.0|1b.719.1b.719.1b.719.1b.719.1b.719.1b.b19|3w.d18.2w.e12.3w.d18.3w.d18.3x.d18.2w.d12|a5.u64c.a6.a1.a6|2s.d|2d.2x.2n.2m.30|e

That one is an example. Perma-swift with perma-vigor attached to it, Tool Kit will get you out of some hairy situations. Rocket Boots / Slick Shoes are both replacable with anything you fancy. (Most likely Net Turret (which takes profit of the extra condition duration) Elixir S, Elixir R or even the Battery Ram can go there and be mixed the way you like). Add some Veggie Pizza in there and you get some good hit and run material.

Also, I’d like to point out that bleeds are just here to sugarcoat the burns, poison, and confusion you’d have put on your ennemy, they are a priority over the auto-attacks.

What you previously selected before my replacement was far out of the synergy or required stats, Static Discharge requires some power, Elixir H requires alot of points in the Alchemy section and seeing that you looked to include some gadgets you wouldn’t want to spoil your own fun just being pigeonholed into drinking elixirs and shooting.

Check this out, I used P/P in this setup with great success. Both team fighting or roaming.

PP is not really ideal for condition builds, unless you pair it with grenade or bomb imo.

Grenade gets you the bleeds with #2 skill, bomb gets you more confusion / more burn.

If you run grenade or PP with coated bullets in WvW, you really really have to be cafeful of retaliation damage on bigger groups / zergs. You can take up to 15-20 hits of ret off a single autoshot with pistol if you enemies are tightly packed and your unlucky.

That can be 5-6k damage to you per second. The same is true of grenade kit and flamethrower.

If your focus is 1v1 or small scale it’s okay but you really have to watch it when your doing the bigger battles, or you will kill yourself farily quickly.
