My current set up is full Rampager’s gear.

They are focused in Precision, average in Power and Condition damage.

Actually, I have 3 sets of them, all in Full Rune of the Scavenging, Undead and Krait.

However, getting soldier’s accessories for the extra tankiness I require so I don’t get 1 shotted. Fractals are da hard.

Also, I’m have 4 pistols,

A pistol with Sigil of the Night (10% increased damage at night, oceanic player)
A pistol with Sigil of Perception (250 precision stacking)
A pistol with Sigil of Strength ( Might stacking, roughly gives me an average of 7 stacks)
A pistol with Sigil of Fire ( The AoEzz)

So currently I’m actually beating the dps vs the nerf patch even throwing just nades, using the cookie-cutter 30/10/0/10/20. Build here << No fractal rings, no rampager gear stats.

However, I’m terrible at WvW, i have no success with grenade build, thief always stealth never die, warrior kitten no skill 3 shot kill, Mesmer always 1 shot, ele always invul never die, guardian just laugh at me and run, no fun. People recommend rifle build, but when i net shot jump, they just auto attack and kill me. Also poke for 1.1k when they just hit me for 8k per hit.

sPVP easier, just stack knockback win game.

no one knows. Lots of more viable builds now.

zerker is better then rampagers. even with pistols. but we can work with it. try swapping at some point though.

pistols, are inherently weaker then rifles, but if you like them:
get 3 I think.
1 bloodlust. farm 25 stacks quick, then swap it.
force and battle. (7 stacks from str? if so, that and force is fine)
30 firearm standard,
30 alch, or 30 tools. the 1% per boon, or 10% end full traits are a must.

zerker accessories are a must. they are mathematically superior.
If you feel too soft, swap armor or pistols for a higher mit, not accessories.

Runes, scholar for poke, strength for more consistent damage. centaur for great utility.

Elixir U and R make you great in WvW without doing anything else. wall and res.

Consider the new altruism runes as well.
I recently switched to those in favor of my old centaurs because I feel they offer even more useful support in most situations, they’re practically made for engineers.

Also: always post the full url for links, because this forum doesn’t forward to some of the more complex ones. It makes it easier to copy&paste:

Well, was about time, someone spoiled it on the forum, guess I can foresee what our next “fix” will be.

i’m killin it with: http://www.gw2build.com/builds/fizzles-pistol-s-static-dis-build-engineer-9214.html

running the 60% chance to bleed on pistol / crit +5% on shield and rune of centaur and affliction on armor

gnades are boring. ppl only use them because they can’t play engy. they’re all big furry kittens.

engys are best utilized for their control/condition dmg abilities. this build above gives you all of that and some burst dmg once you get your crit % up past 55%
