I've never changed my build from the start, just added on with excess skill points.
My first page of four skills are pain6, boom6, heal6, trans6 going up.
Back four are decay6, leech3, buff6, rev1 going up.
I added decay when shipyard came out, then leech when voleria came.
I absolutely love my build for PvE.
It is good to focus on skills that help the team overall.
Though leech is very useful for yourself when you are pulling all the aggro with transferrence.
I have never had surpression mapped EVER.
Go with Pain all the way. It stuns the enemy with an initial strike and does an area stun for an extra second.
Its crazy with engineers if you practice the right skills you can do soooooo much damage to a full mob, and with a team behind you it makes you unstoppable.
Healing is a lot more than just spamming empathy and transference.
Well yes, you spam heals when you are actually around your teamates.
Transferrence can be used a number of ways though.
It really matters that you time it right when needed or if you wanna do alot of damage.
Try to learn the timing of the three clicks of empathy. It doesnt heal you instantly obviously.
It can get tricky, like if you spam empathy then another eng spams. This causes the clicks to start over for everyone, and no one gets healed because engs constantly restarting the clicks.
These clicks im reffering to are the three stimpack strong heals you get from one empathy.
Idk i kinda ranted that last paragraph, but basically it takes real skill to heal.
Once you start getting your massive healing waves down youll see.
Oh btw these are just fyi tips and things to look for.
For anyone who cares to read.
