Guild Wars 2

I have no idea what happened to me: was defending a point when engi appeared from stealth?? turned me into Moa bird?? and 2 seconds later i was downed. Never saw such a hugh burst before.
This has happened three times in a row on the same point. He always appeared from nowhere (stealth) and turned me in to Moa. I think he was p/p + flamethrower. Not 100% sure of that. i didn’t have time to check lol.
Now my question is: how can a engi starts the fight from stealth (he’s not a stealther wtf) and how can he turn me into a moa like every 20 – 30 seconds???
I’m so confused … I just can’t react that fast. never had much troubles with engineers before …

Also smoke fields for stealth combos.

Engi moa doesn’t last long, so #5 and one or two dodges make you evade basically the whole duration.

Engi AOE moa is a tool belt skill. They have a trait that can reset its cool down if they successfully evade an attack. The moa skill itself should have relatively long cool down around 100 sec.

The engi you face is probably a condie one that can dish out a lot of conditions+stacks of burn in short time. It is not wise to fight him if your build, like many of memsers’, is weak in condition cleanse.

Their stealth doesn’t last long. Just don’t stand in one place. If they turn you into moa just use skill 5 to sprint away. Their burst is ground based you won’t get killed if you are not in it.

Hi

As stated above, its probably a toolbelt + burn build. This engi is glass, I mean, really glass, I know, I ran it for a while on mine. if the engi gets the jump on you and you are not at least using a carrion or valkarie amulet for healthpool + don’t have stunbreakers and your finger on the key, you’re as good as dead. however, vice versa is also true. if you get the jump on this engi he’ll go down very quick.

You need a decent healthpool + condi cleanses + stunbreakers to be able to react to his burst. Once you do you have a time window to either down him or chase him away.

if the engi is using Moa, then tehre is not too much you can do except absorb it and come back to the point if you die. Remember they have a really long CD.

You mean someone appeared from stealth, turned you into a moa and bursted you down in a matter of seconds?

sounds like another class i know
