Here I list out how to fight a necro if you are a condi build.

I need some help on how to fight a condi engineer who uses MOA as a necro.

I got very bad experience against them.

they stack a couple of burn, MOA me, and i die in seconds while in MOA without even having the chance to transfer or clear the condi.

MOA ignores stability, and forces me out of deathshroud so I can’t tank in it either. and the MOA animation is almost instant and very hard to see and impossible to dodge in time.

The only thing i can think of is random dodge =/

How do I fight a condi engineer using moa?

If its sPvP, the correct answer is… You dont fight them. You hold out long enough for +1 to come and help you do the kill. If you can kill them solo… well that’s just swell. If you happen to be that +1 zerker and try to engage a class/build designed to counter it, expect to die. Because you’re supposed to.

When getting moa, no matter who did it the key has always been to fall back and LoS the enemy. You only go full kitten (ie peck away at them with your beak) if you are certain you will win the fight, which is pretty much never in a 1v1.

Throw condis back at them.

If you’re dying in a low duration moa like that, they probably landed both Incendiary Ammo and Blowtorch on you before the Toss Elixir X. Without Incendiary Ammo, a normally 50s cd skill, you should definitely be able to survive the duration unless you were already really low. If you see the Incendiary Ammo icon on their status bar, expect a burst and have a condi clear or transfer ready immediately, and a cover CC if necessary to ensure that a transfer hits.

They’ll either run in close or use Magnet or Glue Shot before hitting you with Blowtorch, so you should have a good idea when they’ll use it and can react accordingly. Dodge magnet, dodge if they suddenly run up to your face, and CC them or be ready to use a condi clear or transfer if they use glue shot (as you can’t dodge while immobilized). If they burst from stealth, dodge as soon as you get hit, pop into ds, fear them, then transfer the condis back. Condi engi has pretty low condi clear most of the time, so with a 3x condi transfer and a cover condi or two from you they will usually melt.

If you get moa’d first, use your dodges and skill #5 to avoid any further condi application. If you properly avoided or transferred Blowtorch/Incendiary Ammo before getting moa’d you should have no problem surviving the duration.

Or just roll the cele signet build, and watch them kill themselves from your passive transfer every 24s. Cele signet hardcounters engi condi builds.
