There isn’t a meta build, although 30/0/0/30/10 is the closest thing to one. Grenades, bombs, X, and healing turret. Rabid amulet.

Every class has a bunch of good builds dude. Find something that works for your playstyle.

Engineers don’t have popular “builds”. In general, each engineer will pick a small set of things and between them come up with a supporting build that also works with their playstyle. For example, take grenades. To use them well, put 30 points in explosives. You have 40 points left over. You can use gadgets to add to your utility and/or mobility. You can use HGH/elixirs to add more raw damage. You can put points in Firearms for better bleed and vuln stacking. You can use P/P for easy burn, or P/S for more utility/cc.

I’d recommend just messing around with builds in Heart of the Mists until you find something you’re satisfied with. A good starting point is 30/0/0/30/0, plus 10 points in Tools for speedy kits or 10 in Firearms for additional bleed/vuln. This works with either Berserker or Rabid gear.

Just posted this somewhere else, it might be useful to you.

Below, I’ll list a handful of build themes that I have used at some point in either PvP, WvW, or PvE. None of these are actual builds; they’re in general a primary mechanic plus a gear type.

Standard build types include:
-Berserker Grenades
-Berserker Flamethrower (Not recommended for PvP)
-Berserker Bombs (Not recommended for PvP)
-Berserker Static Discharge (Not recommended for PvE)
-Berserker Rifle (Sub-par unless used with another theme)
-Berserker HGH (Mix with another build, this is just a large set of traits/skills)
-Rabid Grenades (Not recommended for WvW and Open-World)
-Rabid Perplexity (Not possible in PvP, Not recommended in PvE)
-Rabid Pistol(s) (Sub-par unless used with another theme, Not recommended for WvW and Open-World)
-Rabid Turrets (Bugged out the wazoo but still fun)
-Rabid HGH (Mix with another build, this is just a large set of traits/skills)
-Dire Perplexity (Not possible in PvP, Not recommended in PvE)
-Dire Turrets (Bugged out the wazoo but still fun)
-Soldier’s Toolkit (Not recommended in PvE)
-Soldier’s Flamethrower (Not recommended in PvE)
-Soldier’s Bombkit
-Soldier’s Turrets (Bugged out the wazoo but still fun)
-Sentinel’s Toolkit (Not possible in PvP, Not recommended in PvE)
-Sentinel’s Turrets (Bugged out the wazoo but still fun)
-Cleric’s Bombkit
-Cleric’s Elixir Gun
-Apothecary’s Elixir Gun
