Guild Wars 2

I am wanting to roll a pure support build Engi as an alt (I have an lvl 80 Ele now). From what I’ve read up to this point, Engineer should be the best group support class tacking in entertainment along with that. The problem I’m having is that all the support builds that I’ve researched seem to be outdated.

My thoughts were to get the HotW PVT armor (I know AC has the same stats but quite frankly, I think the Honor armor looks awesome). Not sure what runes I should get. I’m also thinking Pistol/Sheild is the best way to go with this as well.

Also getting a little overwhelmed at the different skills/kits as well as the traits.

I just need some pointers as to where to start. Again, I really want her to be a support build or bunker build engi (not really into the glass cannon stuff).

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

UPDATE:

I guess I should add I’m primarily going to use her in PvE.

Elixir B, Elixir C, Elixir Gun

Refined kits, formula 409

Use pistol+shield

If you want to give out boons instead, use bomb kit and stack Hoelbrek/Strength/Pirate/+might duration runes. Use bomb 2 + BoB + Shield 4 to drop 6stacks of might for 39s on your party (assuming they’re smart enough to stay relatively close by) Combined with HGH you can keep your party at 8-11 stacks of might all the time.
