I'm getting back into engineer now as I haven't touched the class for PVE since the game released on day one and played it for a good year, but now I'm looking to play a lot more solo PVE, killing champions and doing general content. I'm doing alright so far with general content, and hero point battles in PoF haven't caused me much trouble yet but I'm trying to find a good balance between doing DPS but still having a way to reset and heal up if needed while running full Zerkers. I still need to do some champion battles but I haven't tried yet with this. I'm not really interested in running kits like grenades along with explosive trait line as I'm pretty bored of using that already from PVP so I'm looking to use Elixirs to help buff me, then if I need I have my Elixir Gun for skill 4 and 5 as an escape and heal, then I use my rifle to DPS until I can get back into melee range again. I do have Sword/Shield but the reason for the rife is simply to allow me to DPS at range as I heal up. My current build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PeyAQx7lFwqYWMPGKWeTavdA-zRIYRU3XG1mCVUB2OA-e I know some people run without kits, all using holosmith skills, other people use only kits, and others use elixirs. Would this build be able to sustain for solo champion fights? I'll try to do some tests later today.
