My bunker engi gets destroyed by Condi engi, Condi necros, MM necros and glass mesmer (probably shatter).

The one that consistently destroys me 1v1 is Condi nade engi.

The others get close.. if it turns into 2v1 then down I go.

Condi Engi are hard to deal with. High defense, around 2800, and high con damage, around 1100. That means they can bypass armor while taking heavy punishment. The only thing that gets them is con damage.

Also engis have the most CC. Just annoying when u r getting burn while getting knockdown, knockback, stun, & net.

The most success I have so far is to trait my mesmer to remove conditions & gain regen. With it I can stand up to engis. Then again they just either run or catch me when my condition removals & stealths are on CD.

Thanks Chaos, I read on the Wiki that Haste didn’t affect iBerserker, did they fixed that? So far I like Elasticity since my style differs now. I now use the GS 80% of the time during combat comparing to the 50%-60% a year back. I usually like to hand onto my illusions and shatter only to daze, evade, or land the final blow.

Im starting to drop Blink for pvp so i will use phantasmal fury like u suggested.

jebro.6370:

Most likely your going down because of condi removal on mesmer is tough. Null Field is your friend, also it will strip the boons from the engi that he has if your fight on point together Id roll with Null field generally. Its not used as often as I hope tbh!

Thanks for the suggestion, i will roll with null field when there are a couple of Engineers on the other team.

Currently, for warr i like sw/sw + hammer + distraction strike. Same idea as hambow but melee style. I find it effective and fun. Trying to stay away from the bow for now, played too much of it.

jebro.6370:

on mesmer its tough as he can take you out easilly whilst running away. If the nade engi is kiting you, just do it back. Not sure how your playing your mesmer exactly so maybe post a spec if thats cool.

This is what I like to run on my mesmer: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAR8alwzKqHTzmGbNJipHBnvBcnFg+w2VShtdhA-T0Ag0CoIKSVkrITRyisFN+Y9xOizHvPA

I sometimes swap out Blink for others like Feedback, or Nullfield. Currently I like to run Feedback.

I try something else other than PU and DE, but since I’m just an ok player, I find PU & DE makes things much easier.

1v1 vs Engineers are usually a very close battle. When I lose, usually is because I misjudge their health and shatter my illusion as they heal, then all goes downhill as all of the skills and weapon swap are on CD. OR getting hit by supply crate -.-

Wow! Thanks for the tips guys.

jebro.6370:

LIMIT! This is the kind of thread thats great in a forum! it generates discussion instead of the whining and complaining about so called op meta builds.

LOL. Initially I was mad about their OPness, but after some thought I dismissed that since I was doing ok with Mesmer and moderate success with Condi Warrior. Besides they are not easy to play.

jonnis.2946:

Supply crate its true is a very powerful elite in a 1v1 situation. hit a few aoes near the turret as soon as its down to get rid of them though.

Yeah I hate that Elite, gets me every time. I need to learn to watch for the animation.

Lupanic.6502:

Go for hambow + cleansing ire. You should not have so much problems with engis. They are a hard setup for warrior but Hambow is OP dude. You should not lose all 1vs1s

I used to go Sw/Sw or Sw/Shield with Bow and was weak against inanimated objects. So I’m gonna give the hammer a try.

Thanks

Does any1 else find Engineers are very hard to deal with in PVP?

I mainly play solo as a Mesmer and Warrior. Against Engineers my Mesmer has about a half win ratio, but as a warrior I have lost every single battle against those dang Engineers. They are extremely effective with the Supply Crate elite, as well as bombs & grenades, very dodgy, and high toughness. My best warrior setup vs Engineers so far is Sword/xxx, this is probably Sword2 make melee combat easier to navigate.

So I was wondering if any1 can give me any tips of how to deal with Engineers.

And also any tips on how to navigate melee combat more effectively.

LF a NA team.

Im Rank 26 and have 0 QP.
I play all of the classes except Thief & Necro.
I’m in Eastern Time zone.

Mail me in game please, thanks.

1) yes. I only played GW1 and DDO before GW2, and I dislike dedicated healer very much. Too much waiting involved for pve and make pvp strategy more simple – go for the healer.
2) not really. So far I like GW2
3) Yeah, the balance is not bad. People dislike glass cannon but I love them because they die so fast. I guess thats because I’m primary a range player.
