Guild Wars 2

Hey!
I was wondering how to gear my engineer for tPvP. I’m currently using 30/10/0/30/0 with P/S and grenades and a Rabid amulet. But I was thinking, is conditions the right way to go with this?
I’m doing pretty well but I feel there’s room for improvement.

As far as I am concerned, you can never go wrong with conditions when it comes to P/P or P/S. You have 30 in explosives, are you going for bombs? Grenades? Both?

Honestly, if your asking for advice, you a bit on the vague side. You mention your amulet and weapons set, but beyond that, we have no idea what traits your using, what utilities your using, runes you use, or sigils.

Help us help you my friend. The more when know about your build, the more we can advise.

tPvP builds/guides. (Click the plus to the right of “search parameters” in the brown rectangle and search for Engineer specifically).

Honestly there is a lot of potential for diverse builds, you can spend months chopping and changing things out of your build to find what works best for you. Finding a build that suits your personal playstyle/preference is key though, as you’ll do much better playing something you feel confident with and enjoy.

Rabid Amulet is great.

I would recommend you ensure you have a source of burning and/or confusion in your build also, as limiting yourself to bleed/poison reduces the pressure you are capable of exerting.

Good luck!

30/10/0/30/0 is a very solid place to start. You have to have 30 in explosives to run grenades, but there are a few traits you can move around if you want to experiment. For example, you can take ten out of alchemy and put them into tools for perma swiftness/vigor, at the cost of a couple very solid alchemy traits. You can even take another five from firearms for tools for toolbelt recharge and elixir R, which is ostrichegg’s build. However, that build can’t afford mistakes well, so use at your own risk!

Alternatively, you can take 10 from alchemy for firearms and pick up flamethrower/juggernaut. I’ve never used that build, but I’ve seen it do well. Quite a bit of burning available, some good cc, and some decent might stacks as well.

last utility slot varies between, bombs, flamethrower (not so much) and elixir gun so far.

Thanks for the link Brew Pinch, gonna check it out, was alot to read

NevirSayDie, I get perma swiftness/vigor with this too. it’s nice
