And yes I know I’m running runes of perplexity, but they work so I’m not changing them.

Not really sure what you are going for here, but I would assume its conditions, and if so why not go full dire with rabid trinkets? Also I would drop the 30 point trait you currently have and trade it for either short fuse or drop it from the explosives line altogether and put it somewhere else, but thats just me. I just don’t get why you are mixing up power and condition gear? Honestly as much as I hate to admit it engineers just really shine with condi application and currently regardless of what anyone on these boards tell you, it is the strongest way you can spec, simply because it allows you to put out insane pressure while retaining great survivability, and it is renders protection useless.

What Zaragoz said. I run a mostly solo roaming build for WvW (really all I do is wvw, but will small group and at time zerg it up)..

Jump all in on the condtions then. Get out of the power line completely.

I run 0/30/20/20/0 will all dire and rabid trinkets. I run perplexity runes also like you. My difference is I run off hand pistol for the most part. shield is great, don’t get me wrong, but I just like the burns on the pistol too much (just me, I understand min/max shield is better and do carry one).

The amount of dps you put out with the rune set and the conditions is just silly good. Get used to working in prybar with pistol 3 and the runes. Just melts folks.

thats a completely different playstyle, bombs are the prefered way of the OP, so

• carrion gear is not wasted, bombs scale extremly well with power.
• no need for pistol OH, the shield offers much more to a bomb build than dual pistols.
• condition renders protection useless, condi removal and -CD food or runes (to be honest, this is the only counter to the current meta and there are more people with this stuff up than toughness and protection) render conditions useless, whats the point here?
• Explosives XII is a decent trait but the CD is a bit to long for a master, so I agree with short fuse, much better if you bomb alot.

for me, the build looks very solid (and btw. its the ‘standard’ build for WvW.)
