I’m kinda new to this game, even though I started last December. My first char was Engineer. It is now level 80, just by doing personal quest, hearts, dynamic events, and stuff. I’m still new to dungeons. heck I haven’t even started crafting yet xD. I don’t have a guild currently, so I just do dungeons with random people. Lately, with the current build I started loving it in open world pve, but not really in dungeons . I have full exotics gear ( precision + power crit damage). 30 in fire arms, Rifleflamethtower (jaggernaut), Elixer B, and the googles for more fury. I admit, I hit hard, than my old build, however I die way to fast in dungeons. My old build (tanky healer bomb build). Low dps, but I felt like a guardian while leveling. Guardian was my second char, I stop playing Enginner after 21 back when I didn’t know about builds and all I was using was a rifle and pistols. I eventualy got bored of my guardian level 51, came back to engineer(I enjoy engineer more) and now level 80. I’m saving pvp/wvw, when I get bored of leveling chars or pve in general.

TLDR; I need tips and advice for my first level 80, Engineer in Dungeons.

An engineer’s role in dungeons is to stack vulnerability and might, since that what they are good at. Grenade kit and bomb kit are the two main kits to use in dungeons, so try to get familiar with those. They can also do other neat tricks too, such as stack stealth.

The dying a lot part will be due to a lack of experience in dungeons, it’ll get better the more you do dungeons. My advice is to just stick with it and eventually you’ll learn all the tells and things to avoid.

Here’s a good guide on the current engineer meta:
