I’ve made a scrapper build for fast condi take downs and for successful stomps in team fights or 1v1s. Been playing engi quite a bit but I could always use new perspectives and constructive advice for it.

Quick Summary of link:

power: 2150
armour: 2029
health: 15,922
crit chance: 39% & crit dmg: 150%
condi dmg: 1224 & condi duration 42.33% (bleeding – 75.33% & burning – 95.33%)

Strengths:
High condi pressure (more dmg with killstreaks)
Numerous instant cast skills including healing, utilities, elite and tool bit kit (thanks to gyros)
Reflect, team stealths, reveal, invul, protection/damage reducers and stability during stomps
Elite = 5 condi to 5 boons (Lyssa Rune) for condi clearing
Mov’t speed

Weaknesses (so far):
No extra vitality and minimal toughness
Tanky builds
Being Outnumbered
Certain builds (once in a while, you 1v1 a really weird build but somehow works)
Player Error (due to you being very squishy, you need to wait for your opportunities and pick your fights)

Useful tips and tactics:
Stealth before using incendiary ammo + blow torch combo
Reconstruction Field (F1) &/or Defense Field (F2) during stomps/ressing
Elixir S or Stealth during stomps (2 stacks of stability on you and function gyro from trait already tho)
Flamethrower Napalm AoE onto a capture point to pressure players off node

This is a fun condi build to play, feel free to edit it in any way shape or form to suit your play style as your more likely to have success if the build is right for you. But let me know what you peeps think.

Goodluck & Have fun.
