Hi,

I recently switched from an HGH condition build to a more tanky one. I’m having some issues though, in particular when fighting other condition builds.

This is what i’m running right now:

My questions hare: how do i hold a point against a terrormancer? This build has no stunbreaker so he basically blow my cond removal cooldowns, and then full nukes my of fear and conditions. Pretty much the same against other engineers.

The lack of stability and stunbreakers is a huge flaw in my build, i know. I tried going for elixir S instead of C but i end up with the sole turret as a condition removal which is not even close to being enough these days, too many necros around.

I tried getting rid of flamethrowser (which is really good though, blind, knockback plus some decent burn uptime) for both elixir S and C and it was a little better but nothing big.

Coming from an HGH build where i had so much cond removal that some necro whisped me “nice cheater” (really happened lol), i can’t figure out a way to survive with this build.

Any comment and tip will be greatly appreciated, skills, traits, runes, neck everything can be questioned here

Thanks folks!

My main Engineer is also HGH but I also have a bunker Engi.

I play this build :

I have Elixir Gun, a lot of HP and I am immune to condis <25%. I have a stunbreaker and nearly perma regeneration. It helps a lot against necros.

—> The Build is not created by myself. I have seen it in a 1on1 video. <—

I have also no stability but I do not go down against a necro. I have no problems to hold and cap a point against anyone in 1on1. It is not very well against many people because I only have a 2sec block. But it is ok.

I’ll check your build, thanks for the advice. I never liked the elixir gun too much but maybe it’s just me

it is ok for bunker builds because you reduce the damage you get with weakness and you can slow down people. You have a good heal ~1k and you have a light field that heals you. Addtitional it removes a condition
