Turret engis are easy if you are not focused on fighting on the point. Back away, range and AoE them, lure them away from turrets if you can. When his turrets start getting low and going down, pop stab and go in for a burst.
The problem is a turret engi will always be contesting a point with your bunker. They are literally the only bunker that can rush far early by themselves and completely push out the other bunker, forcing them to back off or die. Are you going to tell me when you are bunkering home that you will get off the point and stand away and just slowly take down the turrets and then slowly kill the engi?.. because even if that somehow worked, you would be sitting at 50+ point deficit in which case i think the engi already has done his job.
This is how my games usually go (in an ideal situation ofc). I go far to contest point with enemy home bunker, i kill him or he runs away ( most stay and get killed). I take point, the bunker either comes back and die, gets help (in which case they lose mid because they would be down a person), or just try to make a play elsewhere which may or may not work.
The only true counter i found to turret engi is zerker staff ele but then that build is free food to thieves and there is no shortage of thieves in tpvp.
Send in a DPS build to deal with them, a Zerk Hambow or Eviscerate Warrior will clean them out fairly quickly, Rangers, Eles, a DPS Guardian, and a good Necro can also handle them pretty well. The thing is in soloq not everyone knows how to rotate and you often get people focusing on the same points and dying.

Great tip!!!! but I remind you we play in a conquest mode and we need to stay on point to get what? points yes points.
So staying on point and dying giving the opposing team extra points from your death plus the points for the cap is a better idea? If you are going to lose the fight you are better off leaving the point and either help at mid or push far. Dying at home doesn’t help anyone.
Btw I’m saying about Solo Q because in team Q this build is useless.
In Solo Q the communication is a lot more difficult and thus this build is more successful.

If there is something you guys wish for me to write about, reply down below. Still in the process of considering whether videos of duels against certain matchups are necessary.
Would be nice to see a matchup vs condi engis and s/d thieves.
Try to evade their grenades, ya I know it is hard but it is still possible.
For this you will need to practise your timing in evades, don’t just throw them like every other thief try to get a protocol, try to timing your evades with your 3 attack so you can actually evade then evade/attack again and finally attack, repeat.
Remember FS is an attack which attacks and evades at the same time
Yeah ask Ventari, actually if you haven’t noticed I am not a pro, neither is my bro. so… And he can beat an ele just not a good one but that wasnt my point. Arenanet ruined PvP just by making warrs.
We agree in one point, you are not good enough(“pro”) so get better.
Yes, We already know almost all devs love and play as a warrior but your brother is doing something wrong if he can’t beat an ele.
Also warriors are the counter of terror necros(Actually warriors are the counter of the kittening game lol) but I think a good necro can down a warrior, if not, ask Ventari.
Someone mentioned every class has at least one class they are guaranteed to be able to kill 1v1. At equal skill level, not counting any seriously underpowered classes, what class can Guardians beat most of the time? Not crying or anything because Guards are strong in a team sense but really to me they are a poor 1v1 class at equal skill level.
Do not worry, you are not the only one who has problems to deal with engis.
Also yeah engis are a tough match for thieves.
A tip: try to range them with your shortbow do 4 and 2 if you get stealth try 1 then when they have 60 or 50% hp, switch to your main set and try to stop their heal, they always pop their tool which makes them small after this they will dodge, in that short time you have to interrupt their heal (they will heal after this dodge), the rest is pure dps.
if you quit why are you still QQing here? People like you make me mad, if you have already quit why the hell are you still here?
It’s no like the game would change if you quit and stay at forums whining everyday, and I say this cuz I’ve seen you countless times saying this and that and this and that but you’re not playing the game at all lol.
Anet doesn’t owe you anything, you bought the game, you played the game and you quit.
