GW2. Condition Mechanist PvP Build. Engineer.

Last Update: September 2023
The Condition Mechanist is a Duelist Engineer build with tons of healing and barrier as well as cooldown reduction which allows it to keep constant pressure in 1v1s and to keep the Mech alive. While it has decent pressure, enemies can easily escape it, so the build focuses more on capturing and decapturing nodes using knockbacks and on node pressure.
Damage: Superconductive Signet > F1 + Mace 2
Mace 3 + Overclock Signet (if the mech isn’t in danger)
Place Elixir Gun 4 (or Flamethrower Kit 4 + 2) on the node

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…:(
