Guild Wars 2

25 views and no opinions? That is a change… used to be a lot more opinion. I really don’t want to waste a free choice of gear here… any input would be welcome.

Ok, so I took a very long break from the Game and have come back to play… However my lvl 80 engineer decked out in all Pirate gear has Lost all the stats and now I have to choose what type of gear it is, apothocary, knight, ravager etc.

Any advice for a back to basics engineer who does mostly pve?

Thanks

I am loving my engineer, first class i started with GW2, first to 80 with, primary character I keep going back to…

However… I am starting to run dungeons now… I haven’t done any really till now and I am looking for a good Dungeon build… I know Engineers aren’t known for DPS and I have read how power is the end all be all as condition just isn’t there. So I want to fill the CC and support role and I want to fill it well. I however can’t seem to find any decent guides or posts on how to fill that role?

Anybody able to point in the right direction of a good build and what gear I should be using? As well as any tactics that I should be doing openers, closers and all the stuff in between.

I am thinking Condition damage, healing, and toughness gear with a 10/25/5/30/0 trait build. Taking Elixir H, Elixir B, Flamethrower, and Elixir Gun? With Dual pistols?

I need help and every time i find a decent post on CC that might help it quickly devolves into troll bait about Power vs Condition.

Any positive input would be very welcome… I have played a bit in the Mists but it is somewhat limited in what you can do there and doing it in PVE is getting costly.

In short I want to be the, “SNAG SHADE. His DPS sucks, but man he makes the runs easy.”

Thanks

edit: build considering…

Thanks- never thought about going into the Mists to check them out…

Noticing how hard jumpshot hits not seeing the control? Net shot? Maybe i am not using it properly then…

I am noticing since a reroll of my engineer (didn’t like my race) that Rifles are doing far less DPS than my dual pistols. I am not past lvl 10 so no traits to concern myself with nor have I enhanced my gear… still straight off the dead bodies of my enemies… (toughness and power). However, i am noticing despite Pistols being a condition build type and rifles power, my pistols are dropping mobs faster than my rifle and they are same lvled weapons. Is it just me or is anybody else noticing that as well?

So I have not upgraded any gear either way, geared for power and toughness and still find pistols better dps? Am I doing something wrong? I really wanted to roll rifle on this toon but can’t seem to drop mobs fast enough before getting creamed (ie vetrans, when my pistols do the job with life to spare.)
