Guild Wars 2

My engineer is almost level 80 and I am wondering if I should focus on a WvW build or PvE dungeon build?

I used to take my ranger to WvW which used to dominate before they nerfed the class…so now I am planing to replace him with an Engineer. But I am not sure how valuable engineer class is in WvW?

Should I focus on a PvE build for this class or aim towards a WvW build?

Engineers can be pretty boss in WvW, since they can accomplish many roles:

A) Support. Water fields heal, fire fields give might, smoke fields give stealth, light field gives retaliation. They can cleanse conditions and heal quite well, all the while putting many disabling conditions on the opponent.

B)Bunker. By flipping through all of the blocks, blinds, jumps, stuns, and heals an engineer has, they can be incredibly hard to kill when built right.

C)Damage. The grenade kit can rain unholy hell on anyone who gets stuck in the barrage, and the ability to self-stack 25 stacks of might easily makes them a force to be reckoned with. Nearly everything they do is in an AoE, so they are effective at Skirmishing, Zerging, and Defending.

It really comes to what you want your engineer to do in WvW, and what you want that engineer to do in dungeons. If those two things are different, then you’ll have to either have two builds or pick one or the other. If those two things are the same, then just make one build and go nuts. And that decision is whether you want to do WvW or dungeons more.

Thanks you. I just needed confirmation that engineer is decent in WvW. I have enough PvE builds as of now….
