A quick study in Pistol/Shield vs. Rifles and Gloves from an Engineers Perspective.

Good start. I think you should be looking at the Incinerator as the pistol (doesn't it give +int). Also, don't think health regen is that important to an engineer as you have heals. My thought's are that the pistol/shield combo is good for a pure healing defensive engineer, the gloves are good for an offensive engineer to run level with and the atomic disperser is good for the bosses (higher damage).
