So, I decided to jump into wvw to get notaries for my elite spec, and it turns out that my current condi build isn’t suited well for WvW. I looked all over the place (a few YouTube videos, metabattle wiki) but couldn’t find any relevant (somewhat up to date) guides for engineer. Any of you got build which are good for WvW?

Realistically, I got just enough mats to craft a full set of exotic armor (any Stat combo except sinister and nomads), and an. Ascended rifle or two Ascended pistols. Between badges of honor, laurels, and fractal relics, I have enough to get a full set of Ascended trinkets (again, non sinister. I haven’t grinded out the living world for it yet). I have enough gold to get a full set of most runes, as long as their not too expensive.

Oh yes I was on my phone, and didn’t have the link.

I got an ascended sinister rifle with the same sigils. Occasionally if I need some might, or other combo fields, I’ll swap shrapnel for siege rounds, and take mortar kit instead of elixir x.

Haven’t seen a build like that for WvW. Might wanna take a look at Wolfineer and/or Metabattle to get some ideas.

It’s kind of an adaptation of my PvE build, which was a bit more burn focused and used Balthazar runes; that one pretty much revolved around keeping fire bomb and blow torch on CD at all time.

I don’t think it’s too bad. I use EG, Rocket Boots and Bombs along with Pistol/Pistol. Dire Armor and Trinkets. I also like the Krait Rune with EG. It’s cheap and I sometimes use Balthazar.

But, I Trait Inventions (in lieu of Explosives) for the Speed (Mecha Legs) and Bunker Down which works well with Bombs when in melee range.

Running Condi benefits from being Tough. Being able to outlast your opponent(s) while your Condi do their work.

I think I found my other problem: I was going up against a group of shatter Mesmers and terrormancers

As a start you could try swapping Nades for EG, Explosives for Inventions, and maybe Elixir X to Mortar. Currently you have no stun break and no OOC perma-swiftness or movement speed buff.
