Elixir H, B, S, and toolkit
Works very well. Get the buff duration runes, and you will be stacking might like crazy.

What is your play style/gear with that build? I’m surprised you are not going for cripple on toolkit hit.

^Yep i think the same, really strong build, and giving you the option to personalize a lot of things like more range or pierce on shots, more elixir duration or 409 formula.
I think basic is 10/20/x/30/x, whit that 10 points left spended where you need or prefer + of course % boon duration runes

My gear is carrion with a few rampager. I dont take Power Wrench because I’m not auto attacking with the tool kit very much. The other 4 skills I use consistantly though.
Basically you drink/throw elixirs before a fight, magnet, pry bar, blow torch and drop the rest of your pistol skills using gear shield and your cripples to kite around with elixir S to stomp or evade damage. I switch to a shield when dealing with thieves though as blasting them out of a shadow refuge is glorious.
It can be tricky at first managing your elixirs and throws but usually a fight doesnt last longer than one rotation of drinks.

This is a work in progress HGH build focused on power instead of condition damage. It stacks might incredibly well. And can put on some serious damage as well as take a beating. You could swap deadly mixture for 409 for more condition clears. Also I’ve been messing around with acidic elixers and it can be clutch against certain other builds that rely on boons.
I’ve been seriously considering switching to P/S, but would miss a lot of DPS from rifle.
A lot of people may be referring to a grenade build as well. Here’s one variant that I’ve used quite a bit:
You can elect to use shrapnel instead of incendiary powder if you want, although I find incendiary powder is better for WvW. Shrapnel may be better for dungeons or fractals.
Some people also swap out short fuse, but I like using it in this build. I haven’t toyed around with acidic elixirs, but I don’t think you’d get as much use out of that in WvW, unless you’re doing solo or small group roaming. However, I think a p/p focused build tends to be better for solo roaming than straight grenades. Acidic elixirs would probably have more use in sPvP.
It’s also common to use rabid gear instead of carrion, although either will work out. Carrion will have better damage output, whereas rabid will make you more durable. In WvW, I usually use this build from the back line, so the extra damage output can be more valuable.
A power variant I’ve used in sPvP before with HGH and grenades is the following:

This one might be a bit outdated though. It doesn’t put as many traits into grenades since the damage output from the rifle can be quite significant.
