[ENGI] RoR vs Live

[Leecifer]

Hey Guys,

I mained a Engineer through most of Warhammer Live's run. During that time the class got little to no love and I had issues doing any non-aoe damage. I tried to make my way as a rifleman but was easily out-shined by other ranged dps. I was just wondering how the Engineer in RoR compares. I would like to start an Engineer again im just afraid of ending up in the same situation.

Your thoughts?

Engineer was buffed quite a bit.


1. Turrets give now up to 40% damage bonus and the different turrets gives different bonus.

2. several buffs don't stack in RoR. Like toughness pot and toughness bonus from a tank abilities for example. So destro can't Turbo buff a healer for example.

3. conqueror is max gear. So no exponential armor on everyone.

Rifle and Tinkerer is super viable.
Grenadier will hopefully get some love with client control.

Engi here is extremely viable on this server.

You won't get invited to many 6v6 parties, but for general SCs/roaming it has lots of utility and does ample damage.

Pretty much this. Engy isn't the most viable class for taking up a DPS slot in a 6man, but in keep defense or wb v wb fighting it provides really good utility and damage assistance.

A good engie could make it into a 6 man, the WL/engie/SW synergy is a really good.

Also there is an Engi heavy guild on this server. We played him before he was cool.

That's a very fair point! I retract my statement to replace it with: the baseline for the other dps getting into 6man groups is lower than it is for engy. i.e. a WL or SW or BW has an easier time with their base skill level/abilities/items than the same with an engy.

There are some crucial steps you gotta take to play Engi on RoR.

1.) Join the Bitterstone folks, either their guild or atleast their events.
2.) Spec tinkerer.
3.) Stack avoidance, parry included.
4.) Get your own pocket IB.
5.) Keggidy-keg, pullidy-pull.
6.) Win the game.

Its that or bust, essentially.

does anyone know the actual engi/turret buffs? i've searched pretty extensively and can't find them anywhere

not like "well i know one gives avoidance and magus can rend winds on the move" - no, the actual numbers. they're an enigma

Uh, it should display the command upon login - its '.ab changelist', it lists all changes to turrets and such, same for other classes aswell.
