Could anyone recommend a pretty good leveling guide for an Engineer to someone who has never played one before? I don’t know which traits/utility skills I should unlock first and which abilities or combos go well together. Any help would be appreciated.
Updated Engineer Leveling Guide?
As an added note, I tend to favor Power-based builds rather than Condition based ones primarily because it sucks to fight things that are immune to conditions while leveling (such as structures, etc.). However, if the kill speed difference between Power and Condition is huge for Engineers, I’ll consider using the later if it really is that much better for leveling.
Equip bomb kit. Stack power. #4 on bomb kit will basically make you immune to damage in pve. Use elixir b, medkit, and rocket boots once available for fast movement speed. Put first 10 traits into explosions and grab forcefully explosives. Put next 10 into tools and get speedy kits. You can now use whatever utilities you want with bomb kit. Then put 10 more into alchemy and get invigorating speed. You now have perma vigor and swiftness. The rest of your points can go wherever.

Thanks. Definitely something to start with and I’ve been using the bomb kit with some success (though it definitely not the playstyle I imagined when I started playing the class).
Elixir B (with the 20% elixir recharge trait) combined with the 5 skill on med kit is also perma swiftness (also nice uptime of fury). I never go out exploring without that combo.
