I also have trouble with power rangers. But I am getting better.
What I have found to be effective is to use this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fdAQFAElUUp+qlcxELSYLoRNGQlCRuxq85IEgkC-TJBHwAAeAAd2fo8FAAZZAA
I first use the elixer-s stealth, then magnet pull from tool kit (being in stealth makes them not see the animation so they can’t dodge it). After I pull them I immediately use pry bar and very quickly switch to rifle and use rifle 4 and then rifle 2. I then use grenade barrage since they are immobilized and can’t dodge it, and then grenade kit 4 and 2. I hit them with a couple grenade kit 1’s and then switch back to rifle and knock them back again to start over if they are still alive.
The main thing is to be keenly aware of when they use rapid shot, cause you have to switch to tool kit to block it. You then have to burn them down fast cause rapid shot’s cooldown is shorter than tool kit’s block.
Bad tactic. First CC does not effect the Ranger. You waste stealth and pull
matchup vs a guard or a warrior is always good for us. Do not need the stability change.
I hope the new ladder leads to better games. I had in the old soloQ a winrate ~52% and now I have ~62% and play in both solo. I only play a few games and only 3 or 4 times a week so I was not in the new ladder in the top1000.
Hope for more close games and less blowouts
Ranger setup is more or less easy. Just dodge the point blank shot and entangle.
Mesmer are next to necro the worst steup for any Engi. many solo mesmer playing Mantra of Resolve so they have good condi removal.
does a stream exist?
Make this two changes and you will never see a turret engi again (I have no problems to remove the turrets from game. Do not like AI builds)
on range you have to stay on rifle. I like also nades more. But this build works well. Against condi necro it is never easy. I guess it will be harder vs mesmer. But in team fights on point it is more useful
Entangle is really annoying. It is a I-win-button.
With bombs you can stealth yourself or use toolkit
More impressive then this build is your skill of understanding the situation and you rotations.
This build is really tanky and the aoe damage looks ok
well done
what the kitten have I watched?
Something is really wrong with the dailys. I mean we all hate them but if they are included make them fair.
Watch Oestricheggs or Chaithh at twich and play the meta rifle build.
1vs1 should be fine for you. Mesmer are hard because they have huge burst. Condi necros are still a nightmare but way better as with condi engi.
Guardian, warrior, thief and ranger should be more or less easy. Ele is also killable but takes more experience
Compare the results before and after WTS1 is not fair.
Abjured was a good team and they practise a lot with OE. They become better and better. During this process they lost some games vs Absurd. At WTS1 they were the best team because of the process and because of OE. At WTS1 they had a plan and they reached the top level.
After WTS1 they kicked OE but the tactics, the rotations, the teamfights were perfect. So they were undefeded because they took the long way with OE.
thx for posting this. You did a good job.
I always play OE builds so I play eSports builds not Meta builds
Awesome games. Game 3 is unbelievable.
Thanks for hosting such event
Do not know what Q&A and such is doing all day long. But give a OK to a bug fix for runes should not take 2 weeks and more.
yes, no hotjoin during waiting for the queue.
No solo Q exists. It is now a mix of teamQ and soloQ.
are the runes still bugged?
Elixir Engi/ Gadget Engi (sorry veewee)
still not fixed? Someone tested it again?
No fix for this?
Never pick it up. I change to FT at this moment
You are using AD ? Is this really helpful?
vs Shatter:
It is like: ohh lets condi bomb him, oh wait why I have lost 90% life in 1 sec?
or: now he is dead, he used his heal and still has 2 condis and I am at 80% life…50%…10%.. dead in 2 sec.
Or vs condi mesmer: ok lets fight on point, he can’t hold it, oh wait why I have 12 stacks of confusion?
can not watch the video from germany :/ could you post the link to your build?
Some special NPCs would be great. Something like a condi spammer to check condi removal
or in general a npc where you can set the build
The Rune of Scavenging bonus 4/6 does not work if you die in sPvP.
please fix it
well done sir
I like
This is not good. As I started to play Engi I wanted the same. Maybe in PvE it is nice but I play PvP only and target lock is the very last thing I want to see. It would destroy grenades for PvP
I play human because it looks good and I am an engineer by myself. Never understand why the people love the rats called asura
Nerf all engi traits/skills but give engi condi removal.
I also have nice games at the moment. Most of them are fun
Turret engis are in team fights not a big deal. The Thumber turret has a radius of 240 and 30sec for the launch. Rocket turret deals damage + knockback but in teamfight this is not the problem. Focus the engi in team fight and you are fine. The engi has no stunbreak, no block (in most cases), bad condi removal, no stability, low mobility, no backpack regen.
Wahoo thank you for testing it. You are so kind to the engi community!!
even if you go to pve and repair you armor? I play with this build but without the sigil of leeching and I am sure that I see the icon from time to time. Have to test it tonight. Thank you for the message.
I am fine with all this points if I get condi removal
If you start with engi, you should start to play a meta build and modify it by yourself. Good builds to start are at metabattle.com.
Bunker is not what the engi should do, because we have no condi removal and no stability. This make us very bad bunker
Wee Vee what do you think about to replace the sigil of geomancy for the sigil of torment? With the sigil of torment you have 1 condition more to cover your poison, burning or bleeding. Torment does less damage as geomancy but what do you think?
If your team is smart you will win because you play 4vs5 on the rest of the map. If you are with some solos and they try to 1on1 the turret engi you will lose. Turret engi with the correct sigil and runes are also not weak to condis so you should not try to 1on1 them.
Update the wall of fame so people can see the winners ingame
I play with 4 kits
You use Medkit over Healing Turret?
I guess he is playing wvw or pve and with food med kit is not bad (removes condi on healing)
The poeple should practise to kill the creeps in the mist before they try it in ranked games. Yesterday I had a mesmer. He tried to kill svanir after he took close. It tooks so long that an opponent decaped close, capped it and stole the kill. This costs us ~ 75 points or even more. Please practise it, or leave them alone.
Magic find doesn’t work on champion boxes.
Is that official?
Except for one.
This skill REALLY hurts Necromancers the most, just wait until Death Shroud to end and GG, easy win. Either you have Flesh Wurm up or you just eat all the damage, it’s really bullkitten.
AGAIN. kthx.
Reapers protection
Does someone know what hiba is doing? He deleted his twitch channel and I am not sure if he plays in NA
Yeah, He’s on NA, I’ve seen him couple of times.
But he does not play the Go4 Cup? It should be easy for him to find a team.
Give Oeggs + Hiba combo please

Double elimination for finals would be nice.
