Hello fellow engeeneers

Just trying out power nades in wvw. I was wondering which adept and master traits people prefer for this kind of spec. I’ve gotten it down to these choices to pick from:

Adept: Incendiary Powder (burning) or Empowering Adrenaline (5% damage when endurance is not full) I basicly have no condi damage and perma-vigor.

Master: Short Fuse (20% cd reduce on nades) or Explosive Powder (10% damage on explosions)

My stats are something like:
2k – 2.4k power
30% crit
70% crit damage

If you’re going for WvW, I’d say you’d be better taking:
V – Incendiary Powder
VII – Explosive Powder
XI – Grenadier

The 5% when your endurance is full is just too specific, whereas the burning will deal a load of damage quickly. The reduction on the CDs of Grenades isn’t too helpful for stacking much better because most of your damage will still be from #2 which only benefits a 1 second CD reduction from that trait.
