Q:

Aloha everyone!

I stopped playing GW2 just before the release of HoT. Now I’m returning.
I always had a thing for condi-builds, and I heard they are actually kinda decent, especially in raids (GW2 has proper Raids now ?!? O.o).
Can anybody give me a brief update on how to play condi engineer (including rotation ofc) ) or tell me where to find a good Build guide?

Thanks in advance!

You looking for condi engi or condi scrapper? personally ive been playing condi engi for 2+ years in PvP and WvW (also what game mode you looking into).

To each their own, although some ppl like the toolkit kit for the pull/confusion burst. At least 1 pistol is a must (although 2 is optimal). if I remember right, some run firearms/alchemy and tools or inventions. There was about 3 on metabattle but no wthere’s 2 (albeit i find FT not very strong as a condi wep, but more as a dps wep, but again…to each their own. Maybe I havent fought any good enough FT condi builds to make me want to look into it again.)

Elixir gun seems popular by a lot of players as well as healing turret and Elixir S. For elite, I don’t see many outside mortar (i see a couple Elixir X from time to time, although in about 80% of my encounters, it is more of a hindrance due to the small time of the moa transformation, and its easy to kite the main transformation, although tornado is ok in a team fight. also Juggernaut is better if spec’d for DPS).

Supply crate has a high CD but I run it myself as it has good utility when vs outnumbered or out skilled fights…but again…to each their own.

You could go to Metabattle.com and get a starting point as there is 2 condi builds and you can tailor the build to your playstyle. I also stream my condi engi from time to time in case you need more ideas (albeit I do PvP and WvW)

Anywho, hope this helped at least a bit.

The condi engineer build doesn’t really have a rotation. You’re just hitting most of your skills as they come off CD. Obviously there’s a bit of finesse there, but it’s something figured out just through practicing vs. the golem.

And don’t use Metabattle. Use http://qtfy.enjin.com/engineer.
