Hello community,

My engi will soon hit 80. I want to deck her out in good gear, I already have full zerker ascended amu-, rings-, and acc in bank.
For max dps (PVE only), should I get zerker or rampager weps and armor? I intend to go grenades most of the time since I’ve read that those do most dmg.
The right answer would be ofc to get multiple sets, but which one would do most dps in the ideal dps build?

Thanks in advance

For pve, I feel zerker is the better choice. The main reason is simply the same as any other condition type of build, condition caps. You can use use a hgh setup to get some good might stacks going which helps boost both power and condition damage, but you can’t really replace the crit damage loss from using rampager’s. I am sure there are pro’s and con’s to both setups though and I have no real math to quote which I am certain someone on this forum will have. Personal gut feeling from using both setups is that berserker’s is the way to go.

I’ve been running a Rifle/SD build in PvE for a few days. It outputs quite good damage from what I can tell and I’m using mostly all Zerker gear and Ruby Orbs. Not sure if Grenades are better but I like what I’m seeing.

its all flavor. youll find the numbers over at .guru – iirc rampager tops zerker dps wise a bit, but is very dependant on you beeing the only condition applier. im running zerker in pve, rampager in wvw, where conditions are clearly better. jewelry is always zerker. SD is fun, but far behind grenades dps wise if you count in the 25 vuln stacks = party dmg.
HGH in wvw, might stacking by blasts in pve. sadly there isnt anything more to say about (efficient) engineer setups. all else just wastes a dps spot if you got a good grp.
