Hello just came back to GW2 and looking for a Engineering leveling build, I would like condition based as I like kiting with DoT. I understand Grenades are the way to go for it but was wondering if there was a good leveling guide or build for it.

You can kite around while killing mobs even without dots.
Up until level 60 you don’t have access to the trait Grenadier, without it the Grenade Kit shouldn’t be used as your main set; it is however quite useful as an utility skill for Blind and Freeze.

In lower levels the Bomb Kit works best, just lay down bombs while running in circles.

from my experience, the key to leveling quickly is to have permanent or near permanent swiftness. so i recommend 10 in tools for swiftness on kit swap before anything else. if you want to level with conditions, grenades, bombs, and double pistols are your best bet. 10 into explosives for burning on crit is great. 10 into firearms for pistol cooldown and bleeding on crit is also good.

here is the standard condition grenade build.

you can tailor it to your playstyle. for example if you want to be more offensive you can use noble runes and trait enhance performance over short fuse for more might.

or you can go bomb/grenade

the popular HGH variant. you can use noble runes for this one too. i just prefer boon duration. this version isn’t as good as the others for leveling primarily because you need to be level 70 to achieve full effectiveness.

If you want to level up with a condition build, you should start with something like this

Use your grenades mainly, then your pistols when cooldowns are up, the other slot is up to you, I’d pick bomb myself and start getting some experience with engi combos.

When you reach 40, add 10 more point in the explosive traitline and pick Short Fuse to spam your grenade 2 more often, then 10 points in the Alchemy line for vigor on swiftness and finally 10 more points in explosives for Grenadier.
