Guild Wars 2

hi im an engi player whos been pvping since the rank update. Now ever since then, i have been totally shut down by many trap dhs manytimes with out being able to do anything.
is there a way to play against this as a engineer? btw i dont have hot

1. don’t trigger the trap..
2. double dodge through the traps
3. block the traps with Shield or the wrench thingy (sorry don’t play engi^^)
4. stay at range
5. condi
6. kyte
7. use the elixer that makes you mini inside the traps
8. stunbreak ot of the traps
and so on, traps are patheticly easy to counter as soon as you know the mechanics

Flamethrower KB also is good, for sure the DH zone before th KB is a trap spam zone, dont go straigh make a circle to avoid the zone between both after the BK, at mininal trap animation jump dodge.

Thx for the replies!

You cannot block traps.
They are UNBLOCKABLE.

Running through them with blocks will kill you.

I would not call them patheticly easy to counter but it sure makes a difference if you know some methods that help vs them.

Only 1 trap (test of faith) is unblockable. The rest can be blocked easily.

Thanks.
I slipped up about the other traps than.
Still most builds use Test of faith trap, which has the biggest potential dmg and not all builds use Procession blades for example.

So to rephrase the advice:

Dont use block vs Test of Faith trap.
It will get you killed, because that trap is unblockable.
Watch out for dazes on traps.
They can prevent some of your defences that you want to use vs traps.

Scrappers do really well against DH 1v1 actually.
They’re mobile
Have a weird damaging bubble shield thingy
A block and invulnerabilities
Stronk focus target dps skills with hammer
Mobility
Can dodge through a trap

Test of Faith is only unblockable when you cross the triggered trap. To say the trap alone kills you is HUGE L2P issues… Engi has an easier time out-smarting a DH than DH out-smarting the Engi.

Same goes for Rev, they eat DH for breakfast unless we preplace traps ahead of time.
