Do engineeers need a buff?

[ProSophist]

Why do people compare the damage of an engineer to an operative's?

Engineers aren't supposed to dish a lot of damage. Thy have multiple ways to heal themselves which no other class can do. Not to mention a couple of buffs.They need more of a tweak than a buff. A simple change in Protection and Force Shield would probably suffice.

They way I see it, they were meant to be some sort of a Warlock from WoW in terms of PvP. Dishing out a lot of DoTs and trying to survive in the process until the opponent dies.

You guys all have to understand that STS is most likely going to balance pvp. We dont know if the damage and buffing is going to be the same as pve.

Also the engineer is NOT a killing class. It is a support class. But if played well, the engineer can get a lot of kills. You just have to keep in mind that the engineer is supposed to

1. Keep teammates alive
2. Weaken mobs and bosses. From what I've noticed, killing those elite mobs has been very easy and quick when you have an engineer in your team.

Six months later and sadly, this is not correct.



I have decided to necro this thread because I want to draw attention to the difficulties that engineers are experiencing these days in SL PvP.

This is why I'm playing PL again.
