Q:
Rampager or Carrion?
Both… Mix them.
Rabid is also a good option, it gives toughness, precision and condition damage, the precision is good to get the on crit bleed from sigil and maybe burn (explosives V trait)
I do not play condition spec with my engineer but i do with my necro and i run full rabid gear and that works since scepter scales poorly with power, but pistol could use some power so try to mix a bit
you have to find the balance between power, crit chance, malice and defense (vit and tough)
Best answer is to mix all three, and them three being Rabid, Rampager, and Carrion. You might want to favor the Precision sets though if you use either Incendiary Powder or Sigil of Earth though. Without any crit traits or sigils then you should focus on Carrion. I personally prefer a mix of primarily Rabid using the crit traits, at least right now.

Depends on what you do. In my opinion toughness is always going to be better because it takes less heals to get back to 100% health. So personally I’d go with Rabid/Vatlaaws
Rampagers is really good gear if your not quite sure which build to roll. It has a lot of flexibility and probably will give you the best results if your running in a zerg.
Personally I’ve been doing the 100% condition duration Engineer and it rocks, but the skill cap is even higher and you do better solo or with another person vs running with the zerg.
