[Engineer] The Workshop (builds, guides, and discussion)

Yea I defo feel magus demo spec has a lot more survivability (and damage) than tinkerer engi.

[Mcgotrek]

Let's talk rr points.
Im considering of focusing toughnes: Is that a good idea?

[Dutchpower]

I'll go with tinkerer because it looks super fun. But do you actually focus on the shotgun shots? Or keep using gunblast?

[peterthepan3]

Blunderbuss is spammable ( or the corporeal dmg ability if u have WW sm). I use firebomb over GB for tinkerer.
Rr into toughness is okay imo. If you wanna go magnet then RD2 is a must (maybe CW1). Toughness in duelist gear is good too.

On my magus I get 700+ toughness/int for rift and duel spec. Thats with demo tactic tho. Engi can't get as much toughness but can use AI for lovely armor buff.

[Nameless]

imo cw and some 3/4 dodge/disrupt is a must

[peterthepan3]

Rd takes precedence imo simply because your M2 will be UF , and you absolutely can't afford to be punted/CC'd while setting up a rift. Dodge/disrupt taken care of by htl

What is RD2?

What is CW1?

[Sigimund]

Ranks in cleansing wind and resolute defense.

[Nameless]

resolute defence 2 and cleansing wind 1...
Well since engies are quite non needed for any group based action beside being pullbots for orvr i put cw and disrupt/dodge over RD. when soloing CW and some dodge will help much more than anything else.
For magnet botting RD is really must have, CW also, dodge/disrupt is more situational

[Penril]

So what would you say is the best ST spec for engies atm? I am having a hard time choosing between Hollow-Points, Coordinated Fire, Fightin' Chance, Hand-Crafted Scope, Masterful Aim and Tracer rounds.
