looks like a Warrior has been stomped hard by a pro engi…

I don’t want to be mean, but it’s a L2P issue here.

Nades have a huge travel time when you fire at long range. Use your bow/rifle and kite the engi. If you run around him with swiftness, it will be much more difficult for him to hit with his nades.
Same for Bombs, they are effective only at very close range. And Big Ol’ Bomb is one the most telegraphed skill in this game.

You can’t solve everyting with a hammer.

Warrior is in no way harder to play than an engineer or worse for the wear.
Healing turret is fairly easy to destroy.
Nades force you to guess where the player is moving to and take quite sometime at range.

Condi spamming engies has always been up there with the mesmers as BS to face if they’re decent, you just need to know your skill layout cooldowns/roations etc. You just need to walk away, if you ever see one, otherwise get Condi AoE to death, while being kited around with lots of conditions..

I see you play guard and war… that might have something to do with eng’s and mesmers being hard (although an anti cond war setup with a lot of cc can do ok vs eng).

Some 1v1 profession matchups are just that way. The game isn’t balanced for 1v1 unfortunately.

You have a better chance vs an eng on war/guard than an eng does vs. a necro at least…

Yeah i do play Guards and Warriors mainly, but i also have a Ele, a Necro, and a theif(necro is a power spec) I spend some time with them in roaming and practicing on certain combos either in Spvp or on regular mobs. Guards lack Good soft CC to keep kiters in range, and scepters exceptionally laughable. Warriors that get Zerker stance only need to be outlasted for 10 sec something a engi can do. Also Dhummfire Terror necros 1v1 will kill almost anything in a rotation or two, even bringing stability. The rest of my characters get overloaded with condis if the fight lasts to long.
