Guild Wars 2

iam very confused for my gear. which one i should choose ramapager or sinister for my condi engi build?

Game mode?

Sinister is the best damage. Rabid is a small damage loss (big loss against structures) but a nice boost to survive ability.

for PVE and WVWVW i rarely going to pvp

so rampager is not good for engi? i will think about rabid for survivability

Rampager was decent for hybrid in the past, but since Sinister came out and they fixed condis it’s not that great. Sinister is pretty much the ideal hybrid damage stat combination for an Engi.

For WvW you probably want something sturdier. I would use a mix of Rabid/Dire to your own liking. The ascended trinkets that are a mix of Rabid/Dire stats are nice for this purpose I think.

For WvW i use Rabid and Dire Mix

You can use the following Runes which fits your playstyle and build.

Rune of the Undead
Rune of Perplexity
Rune of Antitoxin
Rune of the Nightmare
Rune of Balthazar
Rune of the Aristocracy

Just for curiosity, OP, what skills are you using for your cond build?

WvW? I run full Dire.

Lots of people use elixirs.

Me, I use AED, FT, Rocket boots, Utility Goggles and Supply Crate… mostly for the F-skills. Love ’em, but I stay in Silverwastes mostly.

Current Traits (which get shifted around):
FA 1,1,3
Inv 2,3,2
Alc 2,2,1

For me Undead rune
PvE = full Rabid
WvW = rabid mix dire
