Guild Wars 2

So i’ve seen in a few games that engineer is becoming the new meta.
When u have multiple ones in tournaments they’re just too much to handle.
Most of them run bomb- and toolkits which has alot utility.
Pls tell me what u guys think?

did u see any engies in finals ?

Engineeers are easily countered in organized team play. If you look at all the actual tournaments you’ll see very low numbers especially in EU even in regular team/solo queues are almost no one plays them in teams(EU) you have more people running around with counters for them. The winning EU team in ToL even made a statement regarding this in a recent video.

You see a lot of engis in NA hotjoins/soloqueue because they’re strong 1v1 and most NA players think that good at 1v1 = good at team play, big misconception. It’s also easy to have success on an engineer against bad/average players and is another reason for their popularity.

Don’t confuse my statements for saying engineers are bad it’s far from it. In proper hands they can be amazing but their shortcomings are quite frankly to big in a competitive setting unless the team works hard to make up for those shortcomings which may create holes in defense or issues with rotations. It can work but it’s certainly a far cry from any real meta.

Single target. 10sec internal cooldown.

If you’re having problems with a lot of eng, roll necro and fear + faceroll.

I’ve encountered a lot of teams in TPvP running double Engi. They either spam bombs and nades or they run constant Knock Back builds. Throw a Condi Necro or Spirit Ranger in the mix and even if you win it’s not going to be fun.

Elixir gun Toolbelt is a good counter for fear. :P

good bit of engi spam since patch day. Doesnt matter the order in which you push your buttons, just shoot them at your feet and run in circles. profit???

One stunbreak on a 40s CD isn’t going to cut it.

After the people watched Tol the engi meta is over. Had a lot of warrior and eles yesterday in soloQ. Way more as engis.

Well now that depends how many fears you have and on their cooldowns. I seem to hold my own vs fear even vs 2-3 necro’s all at once. There is no single GODLY skill in this game, well besides stealth but that’s an entirely different subject all together. :P
