Guild Wars 2

Do you prefer rifle, pistol/pistol, or pistol/shield? Any particular reason why, or is it mainly for looks?

I prefer Pistol/Shield. Good balance of conditions and control. Healing Turret F1 → Shield 4 is a nice heal. That said I’ve got a Pistol/Shield Turret Engie and a Rifle Kit engie. Mainly because I like Pistol/Shield but managed to attain an Azure Railgun.

Pistol/Pistol! I’ve tried the shield but its cooldowns are just too long and pistol #4 hits too hard to leave out, especially with a condition build. I have almost constant swiftness and can blind a couple ways, so I lean toward evasion rather than blocking with shield.
