Soldier build for wvw
You can go full Soldier and do fine in roaming but you will get destroyed by people running a condition setup or celestial setup. You got a high amount of defense but that’s about it. For zerging, you can run a bomb orientated build in the melee train and do fine with Soldier.
I run full Soldier armor builds in WvW all the time. Engineer’s have a lot of options for just raw power, non critting builds in WvW.
Though not as common anymore a full turret build is still fun and viable in WvW. I run it occasionally because turrets are what brought me to Engi because they’re awesome.
At the moment though I’m experimenting (still with Soldiers armor) builds like with Flamethrower as the “Main” weapon and using pistol/shield for utility because shield is great. One problem I’m having though is just condi removal.
Flamethrower is very common now though but I’ll make the build I run real quick in an editor and come back. Build I normally run is below. I left the 8 slot open because I change it often. If i notice heavy condis ill use the elixir, otherwise I like to use rocketboots/slickshoes/tool kit. Also I missed it but Rifle can be used with this as well, I’m just testing p/s atm to see if the utility is better off than using rifle for the dmg.
And as for zerg builds, a lot of engi’s run condi’s with Bombs and Nades and throw out as much condi as they can with having high health. Also power builds are common as well but I’m not exactly sure what armor, but I know they use Flamethrower and Bombs for constant pressure/tagging.
