Hello all, i’ve been mainly playing a guardian to get an idea of how the combat system works in this game and understand their use of combos since they put a giant circle on the ground. i love the concept of using guns so i thought i’d give an engineer a shot (lol) but am completely lost on how to combo things. My question is how? what makes the giant combo rings on the round for an engineer? i just can’t figure it out. Any help is appreciated!!

The best starting point is to look up combos on the wiki and go through them to learn what combo fields the engineer can use, and how they apply them. The do the same for combo finisher. Basically to become familiar with which skills lay them and which skills use them. that would be the best starting point

Field creators are ::
Fire:
1) Bomb kit #2
2) FT # 4

Smoke:
3) Trait (Auto defense Bomb Dispenser)
4) Flame Turret
5) Bomb Kit #4
6) Elixir U tool belt (33% chance of thief smoke screen)

Water
7) Healing turret
8) Healing turret tool belt
9) mortar #3

Ice:
10) Mortar #4

Light:
11) Elixir Gun (kit refinement, 10s ICD on swap to elixir gun)
12) Super elixir
13) Toss Elixir R
14) Elixir U tool belt (WoR 33% guardian skill)

Confusion:
15) Elixir U tool belt (veil 33% mesmer skill)

Poison:
16)Grenade #5

Finishers:

Projectile (^20%): Hip Shot^, Explosive Shot^, Tranq Shot^, Throw Shield

Blast: Magnetic Inversion, Big Old Bomb, Throw Mine’s Detonate, Shock Wave, Detonate (any) Turret

Leap: Jump Shot

Poor craftsman blame their tools. Poor players blame their Engineer.

If giant combo ring then it might be only Super Elixir coming from Elixir Gun. Radius of 240 units, white mist for 10 seconds. It’s light combo field, so same crap as guardian’s signs

Other ring-shaped fields come from the Bomb Kit and Grenade Kit, but they’re smaller and last for very few seconds. Those are fire, smoke and poison fields

There are also some extremely short fields which last for like 1 second, they’re coming from turrets and turret toolbelt skills. Usually only engineer can take full advantage of those, while teammates can use them only by accident, coz even perfect voice communication is not really helping in such case
