So how's everyone like the Engineer class?

Hopefully this week someone will finally decide read my support tickets to fix my account and get it merged so I finally play. I've recently got the chance to come back to Allods, only to find a complete huge change of not only the servers again, but also the publisher or owners, whatever...anyway I've not played since last year and all my guildmates have moved on to other games, so I figured I'd try out a new fresh character and the Engineer/Gunner took me by surprise, I see a lot of good skills so far I like and seems fun for leveling, or grinding (which looks to be more present now then ever). But when it came to the weapons I'm at a loss...though not really important I guess but giving a combat class of this nature weapons like a dagger and a um...the caster's wand seems silly to me, but that's my opinion. I would prefer they gave us a pistol or some sort of gun for the range slot, and at least a sword for melee, seems they rushed it without thought or taking in input from players because I've seen others mention this was lame as well, but anyway...so how's the end game and PvP for this class? Just wondering

"born and raised in the county of dade", anyway there is like 10 or 11 end game engineers on the server, and 9 of them class changed to engineer with engineer morpher. so this place will be more dead the other class sections

Engineer is very fun. Awesome animations and I love the "oomph" sound of cannons going off.

The playstyle is very mobile and a LOT of kiting as you currently can't take many hits.

Only real survivability is on Cooldown based abilities like Combat Mode(which kinda sucks and makes you stationary) and Hover Pad(this one is pretty useful.

As said, a full rework is coming that offers Engineers their own version of Diehard( but with movement speed increase while active) as well as more stuns, a healing device, better and more mobile Combat Mode ability and other goodies.

All in all fun class, even now but as Bunzy said SUPER squishy.

atm engineer is worst class of all, but with the patch 5.2 it will become a good class like all the others

as for now,
in pve you can do damage, but in pvp you are a free kill all the time, even for undergeared players

also, engineer is one of the classes that "need" dragontears because the moving hoverpad is almost essential for pvp

turret mode does not only make you stationary but also has a VERY long cd which makes this ultra rare

the hoverpad btw does only protect you from physical dmg, so it will be worthless agains the majority of attacks...

also, the enhanced variations of the 2 main-shots are almost useless too, and the engineer is constantly out of energy, which means you do 2 or 3 shots and then have to wait very long for every next shot...

lol i have to much to say about engineer to fit in one thread, i disagree with secondary shots being useless. id say engineer is decent for pve (moving mobs is the death of your dps), engineer is probably on the bottom of the totem pole for pvp in terms of survivability, but not useless to the point where you cant enjoy yourself.

most engineers in the game have caca gear, so yea you will be free kills to many on the map. ungeared mage/ungeared bard/ungeared warrior/ungeared paladin/ungeared warden all outlive an engineer with similar or higher gear.

engineer will still be a paper class in 5.2, they just get a ton of more options to play with.
