healing bombs and reg in a kit with say cleric armor?

My alt engineer is in low 60s now. going to craft him up to 80 and hit WvW. I run mostly smaller stuff and will zerg at times.

I was thinking about the bomb heal spec with regen when in kits. But that would have me commit to cleric armor and not sure I want to blow my medals on that.

Anyone try that out before?

If not, might just go full zerker and run SD build. Total opposite build, I know but I mostly play the high dps stuff. Was willing to go different for this alt though.

guess could always run conditions but that seems to suck in bigger wvw.. good only for roaming

you can run the same setup in celestial gear, with only slightly less efficiency.
But since most condi-roaming builds on the engi would take celestial / rabid or rampager anyways, you would have the gear ready to run both healing bombs and the condi-roamer of your choice.
Still I’d get a zerker equip as well, since you never know when you will feel like spaming s/d

When I am commanding, I run elixir infused bombs, but I use a full set of ascended celestial gear. The lose of vitality by using clerics gear feels like I am not as tanky. Particularly when dealing with condition damage.

You’re limiting yourself to zerging if you choose that cleric build, you wont be very useful beyond tanking and a little healing. SD zerk is a good build, takes out people quickly, but you’re also made of glass so thieves will down you with one stab. Condi bunker is a safe bet, but if you want to SD, that’s also viable just high risk. Just don’t go cleric if you’re planning on ever getting a kill. In bigger wvw, zerk or Condi grenades are awesome. Consistent damage that effects large groups, long as you’re not getting focused yourself.
