GW2. Condition Mechanist PvP Build. Duelist Engineer PvP.
The Condition Mechanist is a Duelist Engineer PvP build with plenty of boons which it uses to survive and transfer to its Jade Mech which can help to fight on objectives.
When you dodge you gain Alacrity, Resistance, and Regeneration, and all boons get sent to your mech due to the Shift Signet passive. This allows you to buff up your Mech and keep it alive to pressure enemies nonstop.
Dodging also gives an Explosive Entrance on your next attack, and when combined with the extra power damage when CCing enemies due to the Bunker Down trait, you can do some decent burst damage combos with your Mech.
Generally, you want to CC your enemies using the Mace 3/Shield 4, then follow up with the Grenade 2 or Flamethrower 2. While you are disabling your enemy you also want to command your Mech to do its important attacks to ensure they land, and the F3 can further disable enemies in the combo.
Skill Combos
- Mace 3 > 2 > Shield 4 > F1/F3 + Grenade 2 > 4 > 5 > Mace 2
- Flamethrower 3 > 2 > Grenade 2 > F1/F3 + Mace 3 > 2
Save your Overclock Signet to revive your Mech in risky situations or activate it during your CC combos for massive burning damage.
If you can’t win 1v1, you can also play the role of a decapper by using the knockbacks from the Flamethrower 3, Shield 4, and F3 to get enemy duelists off the node to capture it and hold it yourself.

I don’t think this is very meta after the patches anymore
i think it probably just requires some brain now
I’m not sure if it’s meta, but it brought me to gold 3 fine and did great against all the WB. Using shiled and condi sig is great. New buffs help a bit too.
Gonna give this a try. I have tried the new Rifle build and it is not to my linking. I am now running a fairly successful build that fits my play style
It is more and less in the same vein, except likely less survivable for more damage. Although the alchemy line and the ranged pistols gives it good sustain and blowtorch allows you to abuse terrain.
I do like to switch it up though and will definitely give this one a try.
Soothing Detonation doesn’t work with this build. There is no tool belt skills. Use Mecha Legs instead.
Just started playing this last night and it seems to be working very well for me – frequently top in at least two or three of the categories at the end but was wondering if there are any tweaks you would make to the build given the recent patches? Plan to play this for ranked when the new season starts so all of my experience on it so far is unranked.
Played Something similar Last year, got to Plat(the First/lowest), tryed it today…and boi…either i suck(definetly possible) or IT got nerfes real hard…:(
I realy Liked it…grinded most of my ascencion with it🥲
