So I’m going for a very general-PvE armor setup on my engineer.
My traits tend to be 30 explosives, 30 arms, and 10 gadgets, as I typically run grenadier and tri-weapon sets with kits. However, I also run pistol very often.
When I go for a flamethrower build, my traits are 30 firearms 30 alchemy, and 10 explosives.
In a primarily pistol build, I run 10 explosives, 30 firearms, and 30 inventions (sentry setu)
I finally have enough karma for a full 42k exotic armor set. Problem is, what stats should I run for PvE? (In addition, what accessories and rune?)
Most people I know usually run the +power + vitality + toughness set. But I want to know if the other stats are viable?
For example: In a grenade build focused on lots of bleed, should I go for condition damage? In addition, should I also go for precision to more reliably activate my traits?
But if I go for the Grenth armor with +precision + condition damage + toughness I am concerned I will miss out on a lot of power (Unless using Ruby accessories or some sorta rune addresses this? But Ruby Pendant is 37g!!!)
So what stat setup do you think my Sylvari engineer should run for general PvE exotic 42k armor?
