Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m new to Engineer – both in a PvP and a PvE aspect – but looking to banish this once and for all by playing Engineer in sPvP. I’m pretty bad at PvP but I’m looking to play something more challenging than a Warrior, Necro etc.

I’m after a standard condition build, currently using this, but looking for possible tweak and tips on it.

• I know to swap Backpack Regenerator for Protection Injection against stun-heavy teams.
• I know Tool Kit is a “loose” utility, and currently trying that and Elixir Gun.

There are a few questions I would like to ask:

• Where does my condition removal come from? All I know is using Cleansing Burst but surely more is important against condi-heavy meta?
• Cleaning Burst’s water field – I have no idea how it works or even any indication of it triggering, nor its duration. Everytime I use the skill and then blast I get no AOE Healing.
• Are there any skills on specific kits I have that are “not worth using”?

Thank you to anybody taking time by offering tips.

This is a fairly standard condi build. third utility is preference, options can be elix s or b, rocket boots, elixer gun etc. Some people run nades/ bombs, just trade shrapnel for bomb radius in explosives.

There also is a thread by teldo a few threads down that give great (short) instructional videos on a lot of engi combo’s, check it out.

HT is your only condi removal outside of light field (eg). Takes some practice but try not to blast it and just pick it up after the cleansing burst. This gives you condi removal every 15 secs which isn’t great, but far from terrible.

Condi’s are definately the builds weakness, avoid necro’s 1v1. But other than that it has all the tools to take down anyone else barring a significant skill gap.

Practice landing your grenades (sucks at first) and smoothing out healing turret and the rest should come fairly naturally. Remember that you can throw nades in a 360 degree radius, practice rotating camera to throw nades wherever they need to go.

Cheers.

You can also look up teldo’s build. p/s bomb/ flamethrower, rocket boots condi build.
