Redone with far tankier result. Small hit to mortar dps, but the trade off is you don't shred like wet tissue under focus fire. Dead engi does no dps, afterall.

Weapon and Skill Details
Rifle for the burst assist and cc. Toolkit for gear shield and it's nice to have the melee if it gets hairy. Since this is a static discharge build, rifle turret for the toolbelt. Also awesome to drop on a node for additional 1v1 interrupt and it can draw minions. Elixir s for res/stomp, invulnerable mobile frames, stealth.. really doesn't need more explanation. Mortar kit for lead up to node, team support from really pretty good distance. It is also good for baiting enemies to a downed teammate and opening up.

Trait Details
Firearms because your rifle is the weapon you use for primary dps and cc. Heavy armor exploit is excellent in this crit build as it grants swiftness and stacks vulnerability which helps all skills. Pinpoint distribution gives conditions you do apply a boost. Precision based build so this is ,a legit, noticeable boost to burning, confusion, poison, bleeding, all of which the build applies. Incendiary power because it is another condition applied every 4s as you are critting constantly. Protection injecton useful throughout pvp as you are always trying to stunbreak, this give you some breathing room when it happens. I chose self regulating defense to remind me to heal, I often end up using my healing turret as more of an interrupt so the auto elixir s, which does not put my skill on cd, lets me disengage to heal and come back. Also very useful when kiting if you make a mistake. Dropping stimulus pack is icing on our crit based cake. You get one every 10 seconds which puts your crit% into the 80's. With some timing, and the boosts to condi dmg, you are 1v1 clearing minion masters with mortar kit when stim pack drops. Static discharge is the heart and spine of the build. It gives surprise shot and throw wrench their kick. Let's you dps under any circumstance except while dazed, every 6s. Streamlined kits for permanent swiftness and nice, weak, but useful spell effects when switching to kit. Ki etc chare has all kinds of op. Dodge an attack, surprise shot, unstant second surprise shot. If they both crit, looking at 4-8k. Sigil of energy makes up for not going adrenal inplant.

Stat and Effect Details
This is a crit based build using static discharge and rifle for primary dps. Good vitality for some survivability from marauder amulet, which also provides our primary boosts to power and precision; the ferocity doesn't hurt either. The precision is also directly boosting condition damage so it serves two dps purposes. We use melandru runes to bring it all together stats wise. Gives some much needed toughness to the build to compliment the high HP, and reduces Conditon and stun duration as we have very little condi cleanse and only 2 stunbreaks

Upgrade Item Details
Went Sigil of accuracy for the Co start static crit over intelligence swap based because sometimes the ideal rotation for intelligence Sigil was not possible at swap, I prefer the constant boost, plus with a stim pack every 10 seconds my crit is often 80%+ so the intelligence seems harder to use. Energy Sigil is because we need those dodges and our endurance regeneration is forfeit for added toolbelt usage/dps
V. Basic Gameplay
Leading on a node with mortar leaves you with options; can stay distance-support with mortar. Poison, chill, regen. If teammates on node, then spam 1. You can do this from way up high or way out and it often takes enemies at least a minute to find you, if someone even comes after you. Once they do, pop stealth and move. You can either find another distance vantage, engage from stealth, those who come to attack you, or move down to the node with rifle, toolkit, and toolbelt skills to clean up the after-mortar-mess. Another option I like, especially if 2 or more come after you is let them wear me down to proc auto elixir s, immediately pop the second to keep them chasing, and use stealth again to completely e cape for heal. Last ditch skill for kiting is gear shield, and don't forget to keep supreme shot on cooldown every 6 seconds. It shoots while you are prone, stunned, backwards, forwards, basically anytime except when dazed or transformed it can be fired. When you can follow up with wrench throw, those two skills are capable of putting out 4-8k dmg every 6-14 seconds.
Main Skill Rotation
This is roughly what you are looking to do,lead with some aoe condi, spam dps aoe if you can, start using that static discharge if in range, switch to rifle cc and keep up with burst. Most of your condi stacks will statically apply, switch to mortar kit every few seconds to keep poison and regen up, or for kiting or node hold you can drop chill or flash mortars on yourself.
