Guild Wars 2

I main an engineer. And after researching and testing a lot, i found out a huge improvement over using Ostrich eggs build(hgh power rifle nade).

So can someone link me a few builds and videos?

I found out that we were getting outplayed by other classes such as mesmers using shatter/sword builds and nearly unkillable eles. The eles are a huge issue, even despite having 15 stacks of might and 4k attack, i can’t seem to deal enough damage to kill them, even when i use point blank. The only time i ever get close to it is when i use grenade barrage doing spike, but oops, they always use mist form, run and then back up to 100% hp again.

Our team is formed by a Guardian, a thief, an ele, a ranger and an engineer. I think the current meta for rangers is traps? and thieves burst? Would a burst thief be able to take down a bunker ele?

I doubt the thief is going to be able to burst down a bunker ele on its own. You are going to want to at least send 2. If you can manage, try to get the ranger on the ele to get him weak/burn cantrips, and then have the thief burst him once he is weak. A good ele isn’t going to get dropped by a thief 1v1, methinks.

some rangers are using beastmaster builds, its not bad imo, i got hit for 6000 dmg from one hit of rangers pet with valk amulet on myself, so i wasnt a glass cannon… it hurts, its almost 2v1

If you want to beat a bunker Ele as an Engie then you go condi. Ele cannot cleanse fast enough or long enough.

And no burst thief can take down a bunker Ele.

Yeah i was trying to fight one using an owl and i seemed to have the fight won, and i wasn’t very scared of running to him since his arrows were doing very little damage even despite me being a full glass cannon. Then all of suddenly, 16k hit by his owl. lol.

I just love too much the build i’m currently using, i have enough cc and rifle on its own does amazing spike damage. My only issue really is bunkers guard/eles. But i’m going to give a try. I really need to pressure eles and butt them off points. I’m sick of having to get 2~3 people to kill one.

What the thief does is come in and finish an ele someone else has a started. a good thief will backstab when the ele doesn’t have protection and is under 60%. thief burst is one of the ways to bring down an ele b4 it kites away and heals up.

If your hgh engy converts to pistols you might be able to defeat an ele in a 1on1 (but not kill it he will kite out and heal up). and at least for me, a really good ele will still win that 1on1.-sometimes if I have like a lot of might from a previous fight and 25 corruption stacks though ill fair better.

engi ele guard mesma thief
engi ele guard mesma ranger
engi ele guard mesma ele

if you go p/p hgh you will have no problem defeating bunker guardian eventually and thats far better than any thief burst atm imo.
For hybrid eles you ll probably have an advantage with that build(in the sence that you ll force them to leave or die) but you will die if you play poorly.
For bunker eles though..it depends on what heal they have picked
If its signet then yeah an hgh engie will kill them or force them to leave.If they have ether renewal then you need to interrupt that with cc which unfortunately hgh has only the elite.
So you wont be able to avoid 2vs1 on the bunker in most cases.But thief burst is for finishing.Any current bunker will just not drop to even higher amounts of damage if they have their cd up (especially when they are in many cases passive and will activate regardless if the player managed to react or not to your attack)
In short if you want to follow the meta then you must say goodbye to that rifle :P
