hgh is harder to kill than necro…Stunbreak, access to prot(random),vigor,regen ,cond removal and most important massive pressure.He can chill poison blleed and burn your life away in 1 grenade spam and in AOE. With necro cond cleansing is manageable but with engie low life classes either dodge perfectly or they die cause nothing in the game can counter cleanse that often that much.Plus he gets to cover with vunlnerability etc the bleed and burn
Btw I really hate when people (not you :P ) still try to push the “engie is up/got it hard” when thats not the case at all atm..He has 2 powerfull builds and no option??
Fine so is every other class only some got only 1 and others none
I am not telling that the HGH needs more stuff or is weak (please remove the randomness on my skills). But I do not like if the all people cry that the necro is easy to kill because it is not. Engineer has random access to prot OR vigor OR regen at the same time. Grenades are not easy to hit. It is not like I press random buttons and hit someone. Even top player miss a good amount of grenades.
It is true that the massive pressure it the best defense but it is useless if 2 or more people are on you. And this was the example.
Necro has also access to protection (Spectral Wall,Ritual of Protection+well of Blood, Spectral Armor and necro is able to take Superior Rune of the Forge, HGH can not),
Necro has also access to stunbreaker. Of course you will not take all possibilities in one build. But spectral armor is possible as a stunbreaker + protection.
And…. fear.
Most classes die fast if two people focus the class. Necro has the highest hp table + DS. If you try to kill a hgh engineer or a necro you will kill the engineer twice or tree times before the necro goes down.
Don’t know what kind of broke kitten HGH engi’s you’ve been fighting :P
To add my input though, you need to make a Tier below Warrior and then put Warrior in it. Poor warrior
yes because 17k HP, solid toughness and mighty two dodges are so hard to kill.

Thank you once again. love your builds and love the music in your stream

Yeah you sadly got that Correct, there ain’t mant weakness on a good Shatter Mesmer!
You can use Elixir S, right after the Immobilse to avoid the damage tho, but it really is a game of dodging at the right time. You can actually, blind the Memser, if you are fast enough! When you see the Clone come running, if you blind him, he will still swap place with it, but the attack won’t immobilse you, and you do have tow blind in the HGH nade build, but it’s still a tough one! =/In special in a tPvP teamfight where the action goes high, or WvW team clash, a Shatter Mesmer that have seen himself mad at you, can be a really dangerous foe!
A shield in off hand can help on the sitution if his hunting you the entire match, if you time the block perfect, which means right before the swap (else it won’t work, Blurred Frenzy will cancel the stun)
I think the best odds for winning such a situation as a HGH Engineer is gaining distance while lobbing nades behind you, many of them lack real condition removal, so random tossing of grenades can score some easy damage hehe!
:D
in a normal fight I put all my conditions on him. Break the first stun with Elixir R and dodge twice. Apply once again all conditions on him and watch him die. But from time to time you know…. bam and I am dead
That Mortar elite needs a nerf, way too OP. It’s not fair that engies can carry around siege that can hit me halfway across the map! The projectiles move so fast and the AOE is so huge, it’s impossible to outrun those red rings of death
and it hits like a bomb and heals like a nurse
