Fellow Engineers,
Our class has been the subject of debate over power, utility and general usefulness. There is a great concern that our peer classes have a much higher team potential but at the same time a growing support has sprouted withing the community. My goal is to strengthen this support and increase our ranks. With that being said I’d like to address one of the major issues concerning our role in the game.
Engineers are unique. We have an array of tools that help with team support, DPS, and even front line aggro holders. The term “Jack of all Trades” comes to mind, however this is not entirely true. We have flaws, big flaws even which limit our capabilities. Do not take this as a bad thing. If the game wasn’t balanced it would be no fun. Our true potential however, comes from the creativity of our own minds.
I cannot express enough to experiment with every nook and cranny of this class. You never know what niche you may find for yourself. For an example; one of my favorite builds is a support bomb build that stacks might and vulnerability while simultaneously healing harder than any guardian I’ve ever encountered. This is just one example, and there are many many more builds that work well. That’s the beauty of this class. I could spend hours explaining the ins and outs of every trait, ability, synergies or play style but, this is not my major point.
The only drawback to this class is that it does have a bit of a learning curve. It takes time and most of all patience to figure out what you like best and how to play it. Fear not, as the rewards are far greater than the investment.
In conclusion, I offer a challenge to beginners and veterans alike to show their support for possibly one of the most fun classes in the game. Please feel free to message me here or in game if you are looking for help, or hold concerns. I have done extensive research and would love to share my resources with you.
If you like support builds, bombs can also be specked to provide a cheap method of healing. They are great for keeping your back line up or even just yourself. Most people will avoid you anyway because they are bombs
I’m looking for some feed back on two builds for WvW
The first one is a dps build focused on condition damage.

The second one is an idea I had for a tanky support build

I’m trying to set it up so that I can throw out a bunch of boons while still being able to mitigate a moderate amount of damage
Suggestions are greatly welcomed!
