My Stuff x)

[color=purple][b]My Engingeer's (Thren's) Build @lvl41:[/b]


[b][u]My Gear[/u][/b]

Full Custom Ruentech Set. Replace the vest with the Tech-Priest Vestments (new pink vest for Engs). With this vest, my stats are bananas! lol

Weapon: Primed Tempest Coil (or Custom Chaos Breather)

Shields: Blackstar Shield (more hp), Electro Blocker (more intl), Energy Field Generator (more armor). Use whichever one you feel you need. I use the Blackstar Shield.

Implants: Condor Eye Implant or Eagle-Eye Implant to maximize your dmg.


[b][u]My Stat Points[/u][/b]

INT & STR. Play around with the amount you distribute to get whatever balance you want. It will balance out your stats a bit.

OR

All INT. Increases all of your skills dmg, base dmg & heals... but you'll use up more mana stims. Overall best way to go if you're not sure how to mess with the STR stat as an ENG.


[b][u]The Skills I Use[/u][/b][/color]

[color=purple][b]1[/b][/color] [color=green][b]Rev | | |[/b][/color] [color=purple][b]6[/b][/color] [color=green][b]Wither[/b][/color]
[color=purple][b]6[/b][/color] [color=green][b]Emp | | |[/b][/color] [color=purple][b]6[/b][/color] [color=green][b]Decay[/b][/color]
[color=purple][b]6[/b][/color] [color=green][b]Trans | | |[/b][/color] [color=purple][b]3[/b][/color] [color=green][b]Pain[/b][/color]
[color=purple][b]6[/b][/color] [color=green][b]Supp | | |[/b][/color] [color=purple][b]6[/b][/color] [color=green][b]SB or Leech [/b][/color]

[color=purple][b]NOTE:[/b] You can swap SB for Leech. I have used both and with the new maps (The Hive and UCS Savant) I switched to Leech because it does both dmg and heals at the same time. Even though I don't think it stacks up well as a skill (imo). We really need all our skills to be tweaked. SB could really use a good push-back/down effect. Especially at level 6.

Please consider that switch when reading the next section... Its all the same just switch those two skills.

[u]How I use them:[/u][/b]

I start by hitting Rev & Emp for the group (or myself in a solo run) before attacking in the sequence below because Rev actually boosts Mana Regen (used to regen Dodge too but found out its a glitch that was later fixed on a patch update). Due to mana Regen boosting, the skills CD (Cool Down) is reduced a bit. I spam these throughout the runs.


Then I follow this sequence:
[list][*](1.) [u]AoEs (when I am ahead of the group)[/u]

Supp>Pain>Trans (or SB)>SB (or Trans)

- Only Suppressing this early when I am running ahead of the group to isolate my main threats; i.e. Snipers & Pushers.

~Supp & Pain have a bomb effect on the mobs. SB hits the whole mob and gives a nice chunk of damage. Trans damages targets while healing party members as well.

[*](2.) [u]My Aim[/u]:

-I aim at the one that heal other enemies or deal the most damage and since I pull all the aggro, I want to take them down a.s.a.p.

~~Example~~

In SY:
Healers>Pushers>Everything else.

In Voleria, The Hive, & UCS Savant:
Snipers>Pushers>Dogs>Everything else.

-When fighting off a mob with Pushers, I stand up against a wall near my group so I don't get pushed everywhere & can spam heals better while taking them out.

[*](3.) [u]DoTs (after AoEs or begin attacks w/this if someone else is running ahead of the group)[/u]:

Weapon on Auto Attack>Wither>Decay>Pain>SB (or Trans)>Trans (or SB)

~Wither & Decay do DOT and combined with SB, Trans, and the auto attacking of my weapon, it helps to kill them faster.[/list]

After doing the sequence once, I proceed by using the skills that finish cooling down first (see above note on Rev's Mana Regen) and I often get combos when using these in a run with a PUG.

While attacking, I keep my ENG running either from side to side or circling the target to minimize damage taken (even though spaming Empathy and Rev helps minimize it too... Its just a habit that helps me out).
