Need some professional advice.

Should I get rid of my engineer? Empathy still doesn't work and the class seems to not put out damage. Just wondering if anyone thinks theres a well rounded class. I like to be able to heal myself and others but whatever I guess. And btw, no one seems to want to be revived on this game? They just respond right away. No more "rev pls" "Revive me?" "Hello???? Revive me!!!" Just so you know I kinda miss it. A lil has to fo with the fact that they won't revive me either. Its like i'm a waste of their mana

Maybe most engies are saving their rev point for something else... Annoying, but what do we expect when there aren't enough leet forumers in the game. As soon as full release comes out, more knowledgeable people will appear.
As for damage... Just admit that it never will be a PL Mage. This character is a pure support heal/damage type, with good survival.
As for empathy... The devs have made clear they intend to give it 3 ticks one way or another. Patience young padawan.

You are a forum BEAST Arterra!

I know.

/shameless

Adding onto what arterra said...... I have found that with the right skill build, plus the new gear, my engi actually has quite nice damage output. While single target it will never beat an op, with max transference you do good aoe damage and healing. The armor buff really helps with endgame content, and as far as the empathy ticks are concerned, if you keep casting it as soon as its ready, you don't even gotta worry about it. I personally find engineers to be highly underrated, you must be running with the wrong people. Add my engineer (skavengr) and ill show you how useful an engineer can be.

I wish we had a defibulator instead like you run up clear bam revived cool idea huh hehe

He just posts here instead of Texting. Why waste the charge on your phone by Texting when there's all that pl and sl to play.

Defib ftw

I don't know why, but that just reminded me of the Quake Team Fortress mod where the medic would heal and infect with... an AXE. lol

you may wanna take a closer look at empathy. With the last update, it appears to be fixed. it still does not heal on cast, but there are 3 separate ticks of healing 3 seconds apart after cast. it is active 9 seconds and recharges in 8, meaning 1 engineer can keep it active all of the time.

I quite often cast revive for the 1M/s component. 1M/s is not much on PL but on SL it is a game changer. Of course, people always tend to die immediately after I cast it and it has a painfully long cooldown. People tend to instantly click the button to restart at the beginning of the zone. Very annoying.
