Hi. I run supportive cond war (cuz I use warhorn as secondray, not sword that applies torment)

Well, I just can’t win only even one time against cond or decap engi.
Is there a way? They throw too much grenades and bombs so I just cant get closer. If I get closer to apply sword elite skill, I get too much conds and physical dmg as well. with cleasing ire and warhorn’s cond removal skills it wasnt enough to endure their incoming dmg and cond.

tell me advice plzz
Should I change weapon?

Sounds like you’re running essentially a pure bunker setup. Since you have very little direct damage, and only bleeding and burning as condition damage, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to take him down through his sustain. You can easily stalemate him by dodging key grenades and not spending too much time in melee range.

Even as a pure bunker, you won’t be able to facetank/cleanse/heal through all damage. You’ll need to dodge key skills such as freeze grenade and poison grenade, and kite to avoid turret knockbacks and make grenades harder to land.

Remember, you don’t need to stand in the capture point all the time. If the engineer comes in to decap it, drop combustion shot on the point to try to pressure him off. As long as the engineer isn’t on the point, you don’t need to be, either. Standing in one place makes grenades too easy to land.

Yes. Youre basicly a punching bag now with those weapons. You have 0 pressure and 0 control. One of the best ways to avoid pressure is to counterpressure.

A condiwarrior with the right weaponset is really good vs engineers (i even dare to say its the counter to engi in some cases). Id recommend checking out some mace/sword or axe/sword builds with the later being a power condi hybrid.

Hmm, I might recommend axe-sword/longbow. If he’s a condi engi, throw bolas is very effective. Against decap, he can potentially rifle 4 out.

As someone who played various (condi) warrior specs and various engineer specs vs pretty much the the entire top of the EU ladder; I found that mace sword is far more dangerous and tricky to deal with as engineer than axe sword. Esp if its power based axe sword.

Mace sword is one of the best if not the best 1v1 build overall in the game. As someone who played engineer for 1500+ hours, a warrior with that spec is probs my most feared opponent. Id rather face a good necro than a good warrior like ROM or PHD who play that spec.

Interesting, good to know.
