Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure what to do against a decap engi. D/P or S/P, I’ve tried both.

I try to keep poison up with SB4 . But my damage just isn’t enough in between CC’s and the blocks.

Can a competant Bunker Engi be soloed by a thief?

Depends exactly what sort of setup they’re using.

If it is a straight up Decap, Rifle/Flamethrower/Toolkit/Throw Mine then thief should be able to win relatively easily. Probably a 7-3 or 8-2 matchup in favor of thief.

I personally use D/P, save Infiltrator’s Signet and Steal for when you get knocked off point, and don’t really bother with SB too much. Just say in melee and pressure with Daggers. They will die relatively easily as this sort of engi cannot really counterpressure too hard.

The only thing you need to be careful of is Supply Crate, in which case you will need to switch to Shortbow to kill the turrets first.

I find S/D to be pretty good against it,then again it takes way too long to be worth it, better help mid or harrass far instead.

If it’s just about duels, S/D works reasonably well. The constant evades make it hard for the Engineer to apply any pressure and the Pain Response helps against his Burn spam.

But it won’t be a quick fight and is not tactically viable in a TeamQ game. You are probably better off doing something else with your time like spaming Pistol Whip at people trying to revive their team-mates.

Put something like a Necro or Ranger on close and then come in with some quicky burst and finish off the Engineer before moving out again.
