So I leveled up my engi pretty much solo, and just hit 80 before I even really got into the max level areas. Now that I’m there I figure I’ll start trying to do dungeons, never even touched story modes yet. Maybe eventually get into WvW, but right now PvE is my main concern.

The build I leveled into and has been working out for me thus far is 10/30/0/30/0, because I mostly focused traits I could swap around to compliment my guns, elixirs which I found to be the more useful utilities, and my preferred kits which were flamethrower and elixir gun. That’s what I’m used to so I’m trying to stick with something loosely in that neighborhood that would be useful for someone just getting into dungeons.

My stats are currently all over the place because I pretty much used whatever dropped or was cheap and seemed to have the stats to help me either kill stuff or not die. It’s something like two pieces of berserker, two of carrion, two of knight, and two carrion pistols from 10-15 levels ago, so I’m going to replace it with some basic lvl 80 stuff, but have no real idea what stats to prioritize, because I haven’t really figured out what build to run. Elixers and Pistols work out pretty well but I don’t see the group utility beyond throwing elixirs for condition clensing.

Anyone have any suggestions? Most of the stuff on builds I can find have a few like mine but seem to focus mostly on PvP so I’m not sure how they’d play out in, or what use they’d be to a dungeon group.

Congrats.

You should buy some lv80 greens from TP. As for what stats, based on your current traits, i’d go for either rampager or carrion.

After that join some dungeon groups to familiarize yourself. If you want some group utility, consider bringing elixir gun.
