Cheshire Rabbid.7430 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Just as the title said I would like some thoughts and tips on how to build my PvE engineer. . Mostly need thoughts on what armor I should use to get the most DPS from power and coidn damages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Honestly I would not bother, the typical condi holo viper-geared with renegade runes is around 50% burning and 20% bleeding doesn't outperform condi berserker or condi firebrand (which have uses beyond just damage). There's a reliance on critical hits which is something condi firebrand is far less dependent on.Your current setup isn't going to work well because you need crit chance that isn't present on carrion sets. A "hybrid" would be more akin to grieving setups with the Baelfire rune you picked out or viper's + renegade runes or berserker's rune. I would definitely run Solar Focusing lens though.You also end up playing with pistols, flamethrower (flame blast , napalm), and bomb kit (notably fire bomb) most of the time which aren't amazing. Maybe the next engineer spec will have a proper melee ranged condi weapon, but for now I would advise against it. In the situations conditions excel because power burst isn't feasible the condi application of pistols, flamethrower, and bomb kit are unreliable.
