Well, if you really mean pvp, you won’t have to change a thing. That’s what the pvp amulets are for. Berserker rarely works in pvp btw, because any CC will drop you basically defenseless and eventually, dead. Many classes can drop several hard and soft CCs in a row, and strip the defenses you do have.

If we are talking about pve open world, anything goes really, just as long as you enjoy it. In high-end fractals and raiding I hear condi engi works best but can’t say I have any experience in the matter, my engi is mostly for doing pvp.

Yannir for males. (guard,thief,war,ele)

All classes lvl 80.

condi engi is better due to toughness scaling in high level fractals, dont know about raids. the toughness scaling was announced to get changed in december though, meta may change but thats unlikely (at least for really high lvl fractals).
i would reccommend you, if you really wanna play engi in pve you should get a couple of different exotic combonations:

  • everything berserker for low level fractal (at least that what i would get as i always prefer berserker over condi, condi may be better though / be aware that engi has the most complex dmg rotation)
  • everything condi for high level fractals & raids
  • some tanky weapon/trinkets (like knights) for places where you wanna run power but still need some defense (or where dmg doesnt matter that much, like world bosses)

however, i dont know whether power engi is better in low level fractals because i only roam in wvw or play pvp… (got some knowledge due to getting to fractal lvl 50 after HoT came out)
as you already are full berserker already though, i’d simply say keep your gear for now as you never know what will be the meta in a few months, and then slowly get some condi stuff (if you need/want to for whatever you enjoy doing in gw2)

PvP, Teef & Engi

do it. especially if you are still kinda new. its good to learn all aspects of the engi class. and condi lets you focus more on your defense during fights. nothing is forever and its only a matter of time before you have 4 different armor sets anyway. trust my dude if this thread was started 6months ago your guild would be asking you to change your entire proff. and remember your guild asking you to go condi engi is them simply asking you to play some of the best damage in game, and they trust you with that responsibility. dont hate this moment. revel in it

in pve yeah condi is a step ahead but power is very viable too.
Anyway do not despair: if you have ascended for weapons and armors you can convert the stats in the mystic forge, while trinkets, well, they bloody easy to get anyway
