These dudes just never die unless you can get them away from their turrets. Unfortunately you are always competing over a domination point so you are always fighting in the MIDDLE of their 5 turrets. Getting cc’d constantly by an npc turret, getting damaged and debuffed constantly by an npc turret. Turret npc is constantly healing the engineer as well. I feel like engineers are almost as strong as anyone else WITHOUT turrets and the turrets just put them over the edge by a big margin.

wtf man

anyone got some insight on how to beat these guys? I’ve never played an engineer so I don’t know them very well. Or is this just some horrible horrible pvp balancing?

not true their 3s block on 16s cd + perma swiftness + frequen stunbreaks and slick shoes if they run that as well as many skills that make it hurt to follow mean its actually rather hard to 1v2 unless youre playing full burst like mesmer

Many engineers around these days because they can have different builds that are viable for their team. Especially the turret engi’s are a real pain in the kitten in 1vs1, especially versus condibuilds (no way to destroy the turrets first). Altough in a 1v2 they can be weak, but the main reason they flourish these days is the lack of any other game mode than the current one.
