Need some (PVP) engineer help!!??
use sigil of energy for your 2nd build or drop prot injection for vigor.
use sigil of energy for your 2nd build or drop prot injection for vigor.
Using sigil of energie now its a better choice thats true.
but that 1 more dodge ising the thing that that hart seeker thief care’s about.
u maybe have some tactics for that because they just chase me down while i’m trying to support mid/ defend my self (on HGH build)
hgh builds get destroyed by thieves.
your second build is good if you use energy sigil or vigor. your best bet against a thief is to make sure to land your burns and blinds and dodge dodge dodge dodge dodge.
thieves are highly mobile. better to stick to pistol 1-3 at range and save your grenades and blowtorch for when they come close.
if you see basi venom, get your gear shield and dodges ready. when they stealth and you’re not sure if basi venom is on cd, they probably used basi venom. nothing is worse than getting backstabbed with basi venom.
if a thief is far away, be prepared for the infiltrator signet + steal initiation, an 1800 range gap closer.
if the thief spams heartseeker, fight him because it’s an easy win.
as for general tpvp, i always gear shield when i get immobilized because arenanet is awesome with immob stacking and immob is generally the set up for a huge burst hit.
don’t overcommit to a fight. if you lose a teamfight mid, there’s no shame in running away. better that than give them 5 points and you a 15 sec respawn time.
if you get focused, you have plenty of ways to disengage: gear shield, elixir s, and toss elixir s. or you can just dodge away. energy sigil/vigor + adventurer runes give you plenty of dodges.
don’t fight necros.
Hmm slick shoes are excelent escape mechanism. The running speed buff gets you out of trouble really often. Problem is your kinda stuck on might building with HGH so im guessing you want to keep your elixers. Your gonna have to find a balance with a few escape tricks like slick shoes/elixer S and loosing DPS. OR you are going to have to accept you run max DPS but need a babysitter all the time.
If you would dump HGH for Automated Response and add some stunbreaker/escape tricks or W/E you would probably solve your problem.
I have a pvp bunker/decap build i use. Works well to put pressure down. But revolves around the control you have over your opponent.
i personally feel that if you want to put pressure in pvp you control rather than dps. As you say you get focused you die. Try and avoid the we need dps roles as there are many classes that can do that but decap engi bunker will beat them everytime.
link is in my signature.
check it out and if you would like some help feel free to message me.

That grenade condi build you got from Five Gauge’s site, didn’t you? If you want to learn how to play it, the best thing to do is watch his videos to see how/when he utilizes skills. It’s very difficult to play someone else’s build that they have customized for their personal playstyle without studying their playstyle.

Ty for the advice and tips..
found out my build works awesome!!^^
GL in matches and have fun
i tried hgh with engi (0,20,20,30,0) with hgh elixir B , elixir S,Bomb and rifle … and it is not true that you are destroyed by thieves … you have only to time aoe (bomb and rifle 5 and stability …and it works great ). I used teldo like build for a lot but i found them quite hard to manage and with a low direct damage. I enjoyed DPS/berserker rifle builds much more and with elixirs in my opinion eng is one of the most easy class to play with berserker …. elixirs give you great survivability . Another thing that i like is that combos are much more simple to make in a fight ( for example bomb 4 and rifle 5 … with shield you have to time it much better becouse you have to press shield twice)
this is the last build i tried and i have to tell you that it works really well .

or just leave ideas and tips here
Ty all ^^
You should be beating the kitten out of Thieves with either of those builds.
HGH condi’s has on-demand Stealth and Stability – that right there is enough to give Thieves a nightmare – to go along with aoe immob, aoe blind, aoe chill, and Supply Crate.
Tool Kit/Nades is my build of choice for dealing with Thieves. Gear Shield + Prybar when they get the jump on you, or toss Elixir S when you see them coming.
What exactly is giving you issues?

Bombs but no Forceful Explosives? That’s like taking Grenade Kit without the Grenadier – not a good idea.
I’d take those 20 points straight out of Inventions and move them over Explosives for larger bombs, and either Enhanced Performance, Short Fuse or Explosive Powder. You already have swiftness and protection from your Elixirs.

I don’t agree with you , 10 points in inventions for me are a must becouse i need the reduction of cd on rifle. I have no shield or toolkit so i use rifle 2 and 4 as defend skill in many case. The other 10 points i can put it in explosive ok … but i liked to try 10% more damage from rifle . Usually i use bombs for defend myself from thief or others , using bomb 5 and 4 but i agree with you i will take explosion 3 trait and i will left firearms IX

this is all i run in spvp now, its damage is huge and its surviveability is pritty kittening good, one thing you will need to learn though is how to use nade kit properly to maximise defense when you need to
