So i use my Engi only at Fractals. Did some good WvW with him but returned to my main (Elem.) But doing Fractals i am running runes of the undead (tough + cond) with gear with prec, tough and cond damage and jewels with power, prec and cond damage. Im thinking on changing my runes to a mix that can give me Cond Duration + Cond Damage. What i am thinking is :

2x Lyss (Prec + Cond Duration)
2x Krait (Cond dmg + cond dur)
2x Afflicted (Cond dmg + con dur)

I used this in spvp once just to having fun and i can stack more bleeds with this build. What do you guys think?

With those runes you are going to have about +~45% cond duration. For some skills this will be good but for others you might not see a difference. It will all depend on how long of a duration the condition is applied for. In addition to those runes you could build some of your power tree which has cond duration in it as well. That way you know you have at least a 50% or more cond duration and are getting at least another second out of your conditions such as pistol #1’s bleed. I believe there is food out there that adds cond duration as well but I could be wrong. I just posted a build based around burn duration that is pretty fun. Reason I went strictly for burn is that in the precision tree you have a trait that gives you access to +20% burn duration which an easy snag.
