So i had taken a break from my Engineer for a bit, and now i want to get back into him. Ive always run a FT/EG set up, but i wouldn’t mind trying something else. My problem is i’m sitting in a rough place gear wise.

Half my gear is Power/Prec/Tough. The other half is Con/Tou/Prec

I kind of want to go one way or the other. Can anyone tell me how well they are doing with a condition damage engineer? Or should i just focus on going full knights?

To be honest, going full knight’s would probably be more favorable, but your current setup certainly isn’t losing out on any stats. Problem is if you’re doing PvE, condition damage isn’t favorable for much of the content, in which case Power (Direct Damage) is more efficient in terms of DPS. WvW and PvP, having a bit of condition damage is always nice to catch unsuspecting/unprepared players off guard and giving you an edge.

Your kits would both benefit from power and condition damage. Examples for power: FT skills #1,2 and EG skills #2,4 (and certain extent 3 as well). Equally, the other skills also benefit from condition damage as well. Ultimately, it depends on what type of content you’ll be doing. If you’re doing a bit of everything then your current setup is fine.
