Doesnt aegis block everything? then the engineers you fought probably has armor mods. Like the transmute trait, armor mods also has a 15 sec cd and the aegis procs exactly after the spell hits you which means you wont see it coming and it’ll just say immune.

My advice in this boss fight is dont go full zerker build.

I had the same problem as the OP until i realized im too squishy, quickly just switched to my wvw build, sure its way slower than using full berserker but it makes the boss really really easy to kill.

Just use any build that has a bit of defensive traits/gear/skills.

Healing turrets: detonate or pick up?

Simple question, do you get more value(heal) out of the standard double tap + detonate or from picking it up?

By triggering cleansing burst we get the heal and an added water field, so if we detonate it we get an extra heal through the blast finisher but receives a 20sec cd. On the other hand, if we dont detonate the turret and pick it up, we get a 15sec cd but do not receive the bonus heal. Sooo yeah, which method gets the most value out of the heal?

1. there are two types of engineers, those who don’t like kits and those who runs 3 of them. Using 0 kits imo is pretty bad, you cant use swap sigils, and you’re limiting the number of utilities the kits can bring out. Imo an engineer can fully use their kits and never pull their weapon but thats just not optimal. All in all, you should always use both your “real weapon” and the kits, if you don’t like kits that much then i suggest at least use one kit.

2. Hmm end game feels pretty fun for me so far, you wont suddenly suck there. engineers have a large number of build variety. Youre great at duels and WvW, youre slightly above average for sPVP imo. For PVE, i gotta agree with Carpboy except for the top tier DPS, i feel like our DPS is average but thats just me.

3. Maximum number of turrets that can be out at once is 4, but be warned, turrets in the condition they are in now, are sort of underpowered due to bugs and how weak they are overall.
