I’m trying to main my engineer but as I only pop on to play wvwvw for an hour or so, I’m finding it difficult to stay motivated and then keep switching through my characters to see what I feel is best for roaming wvw.

I do have fun on my engi but I keep wondering whether I’d be much better suited playing a Mesmer or a Thief who is actually surprisingly good at ranged fighting.

Engineer Rifle Build?

If you’re really feeling adventurous/crazy you can always try some completely random setup like:
10 – Explosives
Evasive Powder Keg Creates a bomb when you dodge
V – Incendiary Powder 33% chance to burn for 2 seconds on critical hits

10 – Firearms
Sharpshooter 30% chance to cause bleeding for 3 seconds on critical hits
VI – Hair Trigger Rifle, pistol, and harpoon gun skills recharge 20% faster

15 – Inventions
Low Health Response System Gain regeneration for 10 seconds when you are attacked while under 25% health
Automated Medical Response All heal skills recharge when health reaches 25% (90 second cooldown)
VI – Cloaking Device You become invisible when immobilized

20 – Alchemy
Hidden Flask Drink an Elixir B at 75% health
Transmute 8% chance to convert incoming conditions into boons
VI – Protection Injection Gain protection for 3 seconds whenever you are disabled. (stun, daze, knockdown, knockback, launch, float, sink, fear). This effect can trigger once every 5 seconds
X – Cleaning Formula 409 Throwing or consuming elixirs removes conditions from those affected

15 – Tools
Adrenaline Pump Using toolbelt skills restore 10% of your endurance
Inertial Converter When health reaches 25%, your tool belt skills recharge
II – Static Discharge Discharge a bolt of lightning whenever you use a tool belt skill

You will probably get laughed at, but hey if you’re bored experiment. Mix it up a little.
