Guild Wars 2

I’ve been neglecting my Engineer for way too long (Is my main Char, but I seldom play PvE anymore), so I started playing him in PvP a bit more.

Now, on average I don’t really complain about this build (with the obvious exception of lacking damage), but is quite good on survivability, so what would you do? How would you try to improve it, if you were to play it? (I’m rank 13 and started pvp a couple of weeks ago, so be forgiving if you see blatant mistakes on my side )

A stunbreaker would be really useful. Since you already have 409 for conditions, I’d choose elixir S or R over elixir C. Both stunbreak elixirs are amazing.

Your rune choice includes a lot of protection and protection duration, but you don’t have the two great protection traits (protection injection and protective shield). I don’t think it would be too tough to include at least one of those. With both + boon duration + protection procs from runes, your survivability should go up quite a bit. Another option might be to take runes to increase your damage.

Elixir gun has a great kit refinement effect (free super elixir) so if there’s any possible way to get that, I’d recommend it (maybe take 10 out of inventions?) Super elixir is also the only combo field, and you have two blast finishers, so you can be giving out retaliation a lot in teamfights if you get kit refinement. Incendiary powder is also really good, although it’s better with grenades or flamethrower because of the extra chances to proc.

That’s all I can think of right now. Good luck!
