    So the takeaway here is:

    A) Higher INT means bigger heals
    B) Rifles provide bigger heals than the class-specific Engineer gloves, because the rifles always have the highest min/max out of all...

    I have a level 26 Engineer in SL (and a 25 commando and 25 operative). I feel I know the Engineer class very well, and am active on the SL boards with my builds and advice.

    Looking for a bit of a...

    No one's forgetting that fact. :-) I recommend you read this thread carefully, because it explains why even that +2m/s regen isn't worth the point investment. Read the entire thread and you'll...

    And the main point to understand at this point in the discussion is that Force Shield offers truly ZERO protection against "burst" damage. This is the point I'm trying to convey by stating clearly...

    Incorrect. Force Shield absolutely does NOT act like an absorb shield. All it does is increase your armor rating and increase your energy regen rate for either 30 seconds or you take X amount of...

    What Physiologic says about gear. I recommend the Outlaw dual pistols over the Outlaw Repulsor Rifle because 3x hits at 0.5 speed is likely more total damage getting through even heavily armored...

    General concensus re Sonic Boom is that the 30-second cooldown makes this unattractive, especially when there are far more useful and spammable skills competing for our 25 skill points atm.

    Kinetic Reservoir, so it would be your build with KR at 5 instead of at 6. But I'm still only 24 with my commo, and currently prioritized KR last, so I'm currently: 6 Vigor, 6 IM, 6 Growing Rage, 3...

    Ya good story. When leveling up my oper and commando, after 16 I'd always encourage the engies I ran with in PUGs who obviously didn't yet have/understand tranferrence to give it a try.

    I'm a big fan of wait and see. :) For now, this build does the trick. With full spamming of Guardian with Wither, Leech, Pain, and my healing spam, I can actually gain his aggro if the commando(s)...

    As one minor tweak to this, I did pull a point from somewhere and invest 1 point in Neutron Stomp to give me an insta-taunt for keeping Guardian interested in me instead of some overzealous engineer...

    This build concept can be successfully employed from level 22 onward and will provide the most efficient support to your team during Guardian runs. Because it's hyper efficient for Guardian runs,...

    I've done a ton of guardian runs as an engy, and I have a slightly different take on this observation (and testing). Did you do this test in a group that had pulled Guardian all the way back to the...

    Ya I think the real takeaways from this thread so far are that:

    The amount of mana you "earn" per skill point invested in Force Shield is very inefficient use of your skills points; the total...

    And to speak specifically to Vular, during my testing (above a few posts), I watched my guildies who were helping me clear out the big vular roaches so I could get to some doggies and flowers. With...

    Increase Mass is uber. Well, it is if you put 6 points into it. With 6 Vigor and 6 Increased Mass (per Punktate's advice and build concept), you can laugh in the face of any alpha strike in Uncharted...

    Been paying close attention now over a few Guardian runs, and I can see that a single taunt skill such as Neutron Stomp will instantly direct the Guardian's aggro at you. Period. End of story. If...

    You can have 20 dodge as an Engy by using platinum armor and the +dodge platinum rifle (which is way better than the green Savage Claws anyway). This enables you to wear the +regen implant. Yes, it's...
