Hello there fellow Engineers! Thought up a build i would like to share for those in love with the rifle but still wants to be able to support their teammates while beeing very mobile.
As far as i´ve experienced the build holds its own both 1v1 and team fights, the killing power can be very high if played right.

Traits / gear is in there

You can keep 70% crit chance almost 100% of the time and 80% when they are under 50% HP. The 2 bleed debuffs on crit stack, so you can procc 2 bleed at the same time ( Damage bonus vs. bleeding targets ) and your bleeds cause burning aswell.
5 boons is pretty easy to achieve most of the time so thats atleast 5% damage, and elixirs cures conditions (!) for you and your team.
Vulnerability from crits and 10 stacks from goggle toggle ( Copyright ;P) stack up pretty good and makes a huge difference on focus targets.
Sprint can be up if alittle lucky 100% of the time here aswell, it help with the mobility.

The gun, oh the gun. I love the weapon for its CC capabilities, and the 5 ability ( 3 stacks of vulnerability aswell ) coupled with numer 3 and then 4 is great burst if done right

So, all in all i really love this in random sPvP fights Been good for me so far

A great tip is to not forget your toolbelt, remember that elixir tosses also cures conditions and the " Wall " effect you can throw out is awesome when attacking/defending points ( Spread blind / Reflect projectiles / Give stealth )

Please give me ways to imrove the build! Im allways looking for ways to do better!
The build takes som getting used to but the reward is super high Atleast in my book!

If your looking for pure DPS burts as your title suggest i would say : Why not take HGH as your top Alchemy trait?
Change your goggles to elixir C (ill epxlain in a few).
Now before a fight starts throw down elixirs and chugg a B and U.
Not only are you getting extra might from HGH, but your energy conversion matrix will literarly glow from it’s overtime.

I guess burst build is kinda off, but the reason i dont take HGH is the condition remover feels really strong, but i will try HGH and see what happens Thanks for the comment! And the goggles gives huge vulnerability ( 10% damage taken in total ), and its a stunbreak and might buff, so i like them alot

EDIT:
Tried HGH a few games and i like it! Diddnt realize it gave might to other people aswell when tossing elixirs Its a nice side effect

Oh i know, it’s just more elixirs give more stacks of might when used while having HGH, paired with your ECM = more damage overal then goggles.
I’d say test it out some time on a dummy in mists and see which one you like best

I see you points Will definetly give it a go or two Cheers for the input! I have been fiddling around with elixir S though And that invulnerability is sweet! Might switch goggles for that instead
With 8 stacks of might and all my buffs ( pretty decent cooldown i might add, the jump critts for 4k! )
