Guild Wars 2

Hey guys, so I’m almost max level on my engineer and it’s almost time to get the gear I’m going to use for most of the game.

I noticed that the consensus is basically divided into two main streams, those being Knight/Berserker (gear, trinkets)[First image] and Soldier/Knight (gear, trinkets)[Second image].

This would be a good build to be able to do some WvW and PvE (in PvE you could go full zerker or sinister, unless things change, if you pay attention to avoidance and stuff.

Could anybody offer any insight into this?

I prefer valkyrie armor & a 50/50 mix of knight + zerker trinkets for frontlining (theory-crafted after I tried out the scrapper / my current frontliner goes valkyrie armor + knight trinkets).
for roaming i go full sinister
for dungeons i go full zerker
for fractals i go full sinister

For raids I either go with my Frontline mix or with sinister, I guess.

I think celestial is always a good option for engi, you’re literally prepared for any situation. As long as you’re doing a good mix of condition and raw damage, it’s god decent dps with a lot of survivability.

apart from the fact that skills scale horribly with healing power & condition-dmg below 700 got reworked to s*ck hard….

I rather run a stat mix that mkes a huge bow around these, unless I run condi builds.
In this case either full sinister or rabid/dire mix.

Ive used firearms traitline for %20 crit chance increase and a steady fury income and used cavalier trinks on mine.Valk armor is here to stay.
Im also using momentum and accuracy sigils along with wurm runes.

Has an about-%60 percent crit chance for most of the time without investing any stat to precision and the amounts of ferocity is terrifying.
