Guild Wars 2

Hello, I am running a conditioneer, and I can’t seem to kill anyone 1v1. If I start dropping bombs they just start ranging me. IF I throw grenades all they have to do is move slightly to the left and they miss completely. Luring them into tight spaces doesn’t work, especially against melee classes like Warrior and guards who shrug off conditions and thieves hit me so hard their direct damage outpaces my conditions by miles. I don’t what I’m doing wrong, and I’ve tried everything. At this point I feel like the engineer isn’t the class for me.

I’m running 30/10/0/20/10 build with pistol/Sh. with Rabid gear and undead runes with Sigil of earth and agony (I’m broke)

Well try different build

Hope this helps. He’s a top notch pvp’er.

Ill just leave this here…

This dude is amazing, and I advise watching his engi wvw vids to pick up afew tips.

Introduce the fight with either Pistol #3 or Tool Kit #5 and combo with TK #3. Land your confusion early. If you have incendiary powder traited, they should be burning within the first few seconds of the fight.

Setup your bombs so they land by immobilizing your opponent with either supply crate or bomb kit #5.

For grenade kit, it is better to use it close combat when it is nearly impossible to dodge. Don’t use it when they’re somewhere 600-1200 away from you. Get closer. I would advice changing sigil of earth for the sigil of geomancy (its cheap, don’t worry). It’s an AOE bleed around you (240 range) that procs every 9 seconds. Try to fight within the range that this sigil can attack.

Guardians and Warriors don’t just shrug conditions. Chances are you are hitting them when they have either aegis on or some sort of block or invulnerability. Watch them and don’t face roll your attacks. Make sure your attacks land.
