What's the most boring way to play Engineer?
While it’s got alot going for it on Solo PVE, camping FT isn’t the most awe inspiring weapon.

I agree with this, it is an effective farming build but pretty boring.
Miranda Zero – Ele / Twitch Zero – Mes / Chargrin Soulboom – Engi
Aliera Zero – Guardian / Reaver Zero – Necro
Probably current meta pvp scrapper.

Camping a certain weapon or kit =
for there you have been and there you will long to return.
Probably current meta pvp scrapper.
Don’t see why given its powerful but most of the skills are active. I love the meta scrapper.
Miranda Zero – Ele / Twitch Zero – Mes / Chargrin Soulboom – Engi
Aliera Zero – Guardian / Reaver Zero – Necro
Probably full 5elixir HGH. Chug, toss, and leave the rest to autoattacks.
The most boring way to play Engineer is to play Scrapper: limited use of Weapon Kits, passive healing, passive damage reduction, passive stability, passive invulnerability (arguably not a Scrapper problem but especially ridiculous with Scrapper builds), low risk high reward weapon skills (solid damage coupled with defence), powerful abilities with no cast time (most notoriously the Sneak “Skill” Gyro), powerful abilities (weapon, utilities, elite) with low cool downs rewarding spam instead of intelligent use, etc. All this leads to a very boring and forgiving play style giving the player little reason to improve. Mistakes aren’t punished and most of the time a panic button is off cool down.
I have got the PERFECT build for you. This build will make you fall asleep or money back!
I use this in open world PvE for the ultimate try less build. Bullwrak medic and purge. You just use them drop and forget, then press 1 on your flamethrower and go afk to make yourself some tea~

Obviously this is your opinion so I won’t correct you when you’re wrong. But seriously, what do you think?
bunker scrapper with elixirs.
Solely flamethrower builds
Probably current meta pvp scrapper.
This is the only answer.
honestly, I fine turret builds boring. drop the turrets and sit there. Flamethrower is also pretty blah.
Full Elixirs.
I do run it sometimes because I enjoy having access to so much condition cleanse and boon uptime… But just throwing Elixirs at my feet all day is pretty boring. The primary reason I enjoy Engi so much in the first place is all the kit swapping. I sometimes run four kits when I know it’s safe enough to play a little reckless (speaking in terms of WvW since it’s all I ever do) and I get so giddy I’m like a kid on Christmas eve, lol. I wish I were talented enough to run four kits viably but unfortunately I need that Elixir S way too often to go all four kits the majority of the time. So I usually stick to 2 or 3.

head here to discuss wvw without fear of infractions
A build that loses pvp/wvw 1v1 fights, and can’t clear pve content in a reasonable amount of time alone. None of this describes scrapper. If anything, the old zerker bade build was boring. Active for optimal dps, but stupidly repetitive and boring. Literally tap one key as fast and as often as possible while double tapping 4 other buttons at clearly displayed intervals. Scrapper is always innovating a way into the fight, all while dishing viable(finally) direct damage, scrambling for those cleanses, and getting back out the other side to come back for another pass. Put any half decent necro out there and scrapper survivability plummets fast without quick thinking and careful cleanse timing.
Anything focused on Grenades, Bombs or Mortar.
Yeah, nades are very active on your fingers… but that is all. Minimal positioning, minimal cc, same attack with different colors, over an over, forever.
that it makes every other class in the game boring to play.”
