So lately I have been having great trouble fighting those longbow/sword warrior as an engi. They have ridiculously high hp/toughness/regen and can clean conditions easily while still putting out decent condition damage through bleed stacks/fire/torment. Just wondering what’s your experience with this type of warriors and how can you beat them? Thanks!

they have no hard CC so -condition duration food and your -33% immo trait will greatly help against their immobilizes and some condition removal on top of that will make them do almost zero damage if you have some healing/regeneration aswell. don’t expect to kill them though if you dont run perplexity runes, especially if they run sword / warhorn and shout healing (as all of them probably will after next patch) they have tremendous sustained healing. if they run double swords they probably mostly remove conditions by using burst skills, so if you can avoid those burst skills (sword: flurry, longbow: combustive shot) they wont remove your conditions and you have a chance to wear them down.

i dot the kitten out of them. over and over and over. between pistol #3 and Eg #3, i can maintain poison on them even with them cleansing it (ea gives 5 separate stacks of poison so it’s just reapplied when they remove it) making their regen moot.
If that fails. i can kite them around the place
