bethekey.8314 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 People seem to enjoy core condition Engineer PvP, so I put together another video. For better or worse, I've included a couple longer clips with high ranked players in the beginning to show that not everything is montage worthy and mistakes do of course happen. The end is more highlighty.

FyzE.3472 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 This looks amazing. You seem to know what to do and when to do it. May be a stupid question, but: is there an open world/wvw variant of this build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flamethrower + Elixir Gun combo has good blasts and support built in. Depending on whether you're fighting in groups or solo, mobility might be an issue as Core doesn't have the easy superspeed or spammable leaps of Scrapper/Holo. I imagine the value of Elixir S declines in WvW, only delaying the inevitable if you're caught by a raging mob. Rocket Boots might then be a good replacement.

I really, really, really love the versatility flamethrower + Egun combo brings. This looks especially great in the hands of a greaet player like you! Will try and improve myself with this build. Thanks again for the videos (and another thanks for the walkthrough comments during the videos)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Boots might then be a good replacement.Elixir S is used on pretty much every WvW build (outside the meta minstrel scrapper) because it secure a stomp and it gives you critical stealth.The build should work decently if we assume trailblazer/dire. IMO using supply drop is still gimping any core build compared to elixir. I also think shield is weak in the long run - pistol 4 is often what wins fights because you need more damage to compete with power builds. With the flamethrower you got some other burns but then you have to flip to EG anyway to survive any counterburst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way core engie is a rare sight in WvW and there are few that play it well. But if you do, you can beat pretty much any enemy build. Well except melee eles. Forget about fighting them.
