Guild Wars 2

Hello.
I started this game playing thief.
I can do all with thief in WvW,team group,and also solo hunting/capture point.

I rerolled for an engineer,due to the thiief spam in WvW,and due to the fact that thief in my play stile is immortal,and god-mode-play.

Engineer is more challange without any doubt.

But..i still like go around alone sometime,when brainless zerg just stand out of the first fort,doing useless and endless guerrilla with enemy without any strategy(24h on 24).

The things i miss on engineer,is that i’m not able to be a hit and run,in the worst situation ex: i go capture a point,and 4 enemy show up , i’m rarely able to escape.
Also,using elixir S,what give me problems is his secondary skill,tat often make me a giant instead of let me go hide(that would help).

Can anyone suggest me a build i can try , traits+ secondary skills ,or any strategy i can use to make my engineer hit and run,and specialize him in escapology system?

I see so many skilled engineer around..i don’t think is impossible an hit and run build..i just need someone more experienced player than me that should help to find my build.

If u have any video,this should also help.
Sorry for my english guys,regards.

Try Rocket Boots to gain distance(Knockback Utility Belt skill), Slick Shoes to trip people chasing, Rifle has a knockback and a leap that could be used to run, and it sounds silly, but if someone is on your tail and you have the shield in your off-hand you can use the magnetic field into magnetic inversion really quickly to knock them back off of you. Those are off the top of my head. Just play around with them and see what you can find. There are other skills that move you or your opponents, break stuns, and/or facilitate escaping.

Bomberman build can help on that using some speedkits and some protection to stuns. You won’t sneak in but you typically can get the point and get away.

Rocket Boots, Slick Shoes + Rifle gives you plenty of escape options, in fact you can never get caught by anything in 1vs1 since you’ll just go too far too fast.
