Piken Square
Q:
At the moment, although I’m quite happy with the quality of my gear (Power/Toughness/Vitality) and the choice of my sigils, I’m really struggling with deciding on the set of runes that will best support my build. I’m a dreadful theorycrafter (clearly) and I’m sure the answer is glaringly obvious … just not to me!
My build is as follows: http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mMMzM9mMvolMMvolMaxaG0VmVbmma
And I usually run with between 50% and 62% crit chance.
Help me Enginweb, you’re my only hope!

The thing is your build is very “versatile”.
Maybe something along the lines of condition duration for pistol & EG?
-Rune of the Mad King
-Rune of Lyssa
quick question. is traiting for extra range on pistol really that important?
Well I have no regrets about using that trait at all, looking at the other options there’s nothing I would swap it for.
Imo there really aren’t any must have runes for Engineer. Most of the effects are kinda gimmicky and if the class isn’t short on something on its own it’s gimmicks. Look at holes in your stats or what stats you want to enhance further and pick accordingly.
Personally I’m running with rubies, because I’m finding it somewhat hard to get to a decent crit rate without them and I feel I have enough toughness/vit ( 30/0/0/20/20 build and mostly power/vit/toughness Orr armour ).

The extra pistol range is quite noticeable much like the extended grenade range which is also quite noticeable. If you have a frost sigil on one of your pistols this means you can easily do a lot of damage to many enemies before they can even get close to you which reduces your need to put yourself in harms way when by the time the enemy closes in on you he’s already half health and stacked with conditions to boot.
However since your build does not seem very +precision (crit) oriented, then the frost sigil will proc less and be quite unreliable.

The extra pistol range is quite noticeable and puts the pistol almost on par with the extended grenade range
No. Just no.
Extended pistol range is 1050
Extended grenade range is 1500
Thats a near 50% diference.
