Return of Reckoning

I got the same question yesterday ingame. But after some more intense looking in the skill list it was found.

So please do a restart and check your Abilities List. Maybe it was just not set on your action bar.

one last thing: is good for us the DOT in gun blast in sniper tree?
isnt better get the tactic to have a straight +15% bonus dmg when using signal flare? DOT damage is pathetic at best. flat 15% damage bonus is somewhat nice for a burst spec like snipe is. It helps us out clear squishes faster no?

or is the same? What are saying the numbers?

Before i state my ideas i would like to clarify that i have never created or played as a bearded rodent and i don't plan to create or play one in the near future.

Having said that, here's idea number 1: The Alchoholic with the Steady Hands. RoR.builders - Engineer
And here's idea number 2: The Sober, Miserable Bugger with the Strong Hands. RoR.builders - Engineer

They are essentially the split, bastardized version of the Magus ST cookiecutter, only the first one brings the crit and the @%*$^# keg and the second one the (essentially required) quality of life upgrade and the dot

Idea Number 1 Rotation:
At 100/120 feet with buffs Signal Flare->Incendiary Rounds->Snipe->(Crackshot*)->Hipshot->FF
At 65/80 feet with buffs Signal Flare->Acid Bomb->Incendiary Rounds->Snipe->Flashbang->Hipshot->FF
While waiting for Snipe to recharge drop keg and apply Acid bombs and Fragmentation Grenades to vent your frustration, but make sure to keep at least 200 Ap to pull the burst when Snipe is up again.

*It's not considered a good idea to go around spreading KD immunities or use vital CC abilities that have 30 second cooldowns on a whim, but it's the only ability that will allow you to remain on the timestamp (and let's face the truth, you silly buggers are already spreading CC immunitities to entire warbands using your mines with impunity, so making a single person cc immune won't hurt)

Idea Number 2 Rotation: At 80/100 feet with buffs: Signal Flare->Acid Bomb->Phosphorus->Incendiary->Snipe->Flashbang->Hipshot->FF
While waiting for Snipe to recharge drop apply Acid Bombs and Fragmentions Grenades to vent your frustation, but make sure to keep full AP to pull the burst when Snipe is up again.

Stat Priorities for both builds are crit->BS and always use gun turret.

Hollow Points is a viable tactic. You put it on Gunblast or Snipe. Hit the target. The first tick comes after 3 secs, the second 2 seconds later.
Meaning when you hit it first then you need to unload your burst damage like Focused Fire when at second 3 and 5. So it happens at the same time when the dots hit.

That was in the past though. I'm currently not sure if Hollow Points can be dodged. If yes, then it has lost a lot of its sexxyness.

now you can dodge also DOT

Any updates to this guide, any changes lately ?

Phosphourus Shell is currently king on the Engi. With last patch it has:
Increased Damage, Castable on the move, shorter CD, shorter running time.
If you can get Extra Powder Tactic from Grenadier in, it also increases the AoE Splash from 20 feet to 30 feet.

So it is pretty much the must have Ability for any Rifle Engi.

Well, Phosphorous Shells requires 14 points, Extra Powder tactic another 4, so Keg won´t fit in until RR60 or something. Maybe up grenadier and get strafing run ? Hollow Points stilla viable tactic ?

Need to make a retest if Hollowpoint and tick of Hollowpoint can be Dodged.
Which is most likely with latest Dodge and Disrupt changes.

What we actually need are 3 different Snipers.

One Pierce Defense Sniper
One Concussive Mine Sniper - Healers hate Concussive Mine.
One Strafing Run Sniper to get rid of all these Orks who think they can hit you in Close Combat.
