Guild Wars 2

I apologize in advance if something I write isn´t quite clear. English is not my main language.

Ever since I´ve found that our autoattacks are comparably low in damage I wondered what order of skills my fellow engineers use.
Because the engineer has many skills, because of their ability to use kits, there are a lot of combos and orders of skills. So I´m very curious, what other engineers like to use and whether they´re successful with it.

I´ll start with my current setup.

Battle sigil, 2x rune of altruism.
So my favourite skill order goes like this:

" rifle #5 -> rifle #3 -> grenade barrage -> switch to grenade kit (kit refinement) -> grenade #2 -> grenade #4 -> grenade #5 -> switch to toolkit -> prybar -> 3x toolkit autoattack -> switch to rifle -> rifle #3 -> grenade kit -> grenade #2 -> grenade #1 until a CD is up again (approximately 2-5 seconds)"

I didn´t mention my swaps to medkit, simply because it´s quite the fast swap inbetween.
This is if circumstance are optimal. In a real fight I run in and out of melee and use dodge and block, which then normally leaves no time to spam grenade #1.

And please keep this thread free of the obligatory “engineer has problems”-stuff. There are already enough threads out there to discuss the issue.

My favorite part about engineer is that I have no order of skills. It depends completely on what the enemy and my teammates are doing, and where I am able to go in the fight.

Just a few factors off the top of my head:
– Can I safely get close to the enemy(ies)?
– What’s my health at?
– What’s my teammates health at?
– Does someone need revived? Can I do it myself or should I toss R?
– Do I or my team need condition removal?
– Do I need to control or slow an enemy?
– Does the enemy have any hard-hitting projectiles I should reflect?
– Will any of my combo abilities help out my team?
– Is someone else keeping vuln up, or should I?
