I’ve done a lot of PVP/WvW with my Engi and have come to enjoy the rifle more than the warrior’s for several reasons.
-The warrior’s no.2 skill gives cripple, we get a 2s immobilize.
-The warrior’s no.3 skill gives multipile shots at range, we get high dmg aoe blast with stacks of bleeding included.
-The warrior’s no.4 skill gives vulnerablility(meh), we get an extremely effective knock back that puts the enemy down long enough to follow up with a number of things.
-The warrior’s no.5 skill gives a knock back(its ok), we get jumpshot which is very powerful if used correctly.
And of course the warrior’s kill shot…we got nothing to compare to that…it does take a good few seconds to go off though, and has a distinctive animation.
Can the warrior combo off of any of these abilities? Not really. The Engi is about versatility and finesse.
Grenades – I use them when hitting people from above….but why do I really have it? For the toolbelt ability. If you’re smart and hotkey your most important skills then you’ll be good with this. I hotkey all my toolbelt skills except for F1(your heal).
-Melee runs up to me?
Try using jumpshot just under yourself (1-2k up/2-4k down) + blunderbuss (2-5k) + Overcharge(1-3k) + Throw 6-pack grenades on his prone body (2-6k).
-Fighting against ranged?
Net… if he breaks it, net him again using the toolbelt skill from Net Turret..many other options to slow him down.
There are many ways to do it, but I feel that the rifle Engi is able to really throw people around in a fight. I’ve used overcharge so many times to save people from getting stomped, or knocking people off of ledges etc.. plus the cool down is extremely low.
I’m geared with Knight’s Exotic armor and Knight/Valkyrie jewelry. I crit often, and hit for around 800-1500(Hip Shot) depending on who I’m shooting while retaining 2.9k armor.
Also, anyone use th Rocket toolbelt skill from rocket turret? Instant rocket in someone’s face for around 2k…Engi’s are great!
