Should ask some of those Squigboyz

any cast or channel ability if started when a target is in LoS will hit even if the target moves out of LoS. As long as it gets halfish way though the cast it is usually good.

As far as pets go they are all really buggy when it comes to LoS. But at least turrets don't chase you!

[Karast]

In retrospect your right PS and SR would fit grenadier and rifleman better respectively than the trees they are in currently

Yeah thematically that's a good switch. Fits play styles better too.

But phosphorus would still need a lot of love. Both it and sticky bombs are incredibly weak abilities. The tool tips and scaling are just so low for such high AP costs and cooldowns.

Acid bomb even without points in grenadier does better dps than phosphorus shells, the same goes for incendiary round vs sticky bombs.

There is a lot of dead weight in the trees.

What makes tinker really good is that you have 3 solid abilities, and some solid tactics to boot. Lightning rod, keg, and magnet are really good abilities. It's hard to compared them to the other trees, where you really only have snipe and napalm as the standout abilities, and to be honest napalm is a bit weak as an AoE comparatively.

You say you like to get more ranged crit but how about parry and disrupt?

[Nishka]

So, the best gear for engineer is t3 inf +2% crit helm, dev +2% crit shoulder, and the rest is +7% crit stalker? But full devastator should give more bs + armor debuff bonus.
How much exactly you lose/gain by going full devastator? Maybe someone finds it worthy after all?

Full desvastator is going to be better than stalker + crit helm. More BS and slightly better stats except for gloves. You will lose some crit. 2 from gloves 1 from helm, but the 5 piece proc is worth it if you go rifle or tinker.

For a grenade engi you stick with the crit gear.

[Nishka]

4 crit. Emp helm is +2% crit.
And 5 piece proc doesn't stack with turret's armor debuff? But if we spend most of our time near the turret, what's the point of this proc?

If you're a Rifleman? There isn't one, save that it's not on a cooldown and could proc when the turret is on cooldown.

If you're anything else, it will proc off Napalm damage, Strafing Run (which is still a Grenadier ability... for now), Landmine, Static Discharge, Lightning Rod, and Blunderbuss Blast. In other words, you can proc the debuff on multiple targets for your team's benefit.
