Just wanted to point this out to you fellow engineers.
You can now get 100 percent condition duration with only 10 points invested into Explosives.
Sigil of Malice = 6%
2 Runes of the Lich = 4%
2 Runes of Lyssa = 10%
2 Runes of Mad King = 10%
2 Givers Pistols = 20%
1 Rare Veggie Pizza = 40%
Total = 100%
I’ve been playing the typical p/p pistol build with this setup in wvw and it’s actually a lot of fun.
Full Rabid
10/10/20/30/0 – Defensive Oriented
or
10/30/0/30/0 – Offensive Oriented (more total condition damage plus you can get sitting duck, pistol range, pistol cooldown). Glue Shot with sitting duck is a lot of fun with 100% condition duration. 12 second cripple.
Anyway, experiment with it as you wish.
