ATTACK Engineer build

[kamikazees]

Tired of your Engineer being pushed around and people needing buffs, and with barely any damage output? Then try the Aggressive Tactical Target Aggro Control Killer (A.T.T.A.C.K.) build! This is an offense-focused Engineer build, perhaps not optimal for the generally supportive Engineer class, but it does ensure that your skills will not become useless if a second Engineer joins the party. This build will get you to level 30 (or 31), but play carefully or you may not make a whole lot of friends along the way.

This build can be accomplished without respects. I'll set forth the build first, then how to level it, how to use it and a suggested skill map. Your comments appreciated:

A. THE BUILD

3 - Wither
6 - Leech
6 - Empathy
1 - Revive
0 - Force Shield
0 - Suppression
0 - Protection
6 - Transferrence
1 - Pain
0 - Sonic Boom
6 - Decay

NOTE: For more boss damage but less self-healing, drop Leech to 3 instead of Wither. Personal preference choice.

27 Save Point (3)
28. Decay (1), (2), (3), (4)
29. Decay (5)
30. Decay (6)

C. HOW TO USE IT

This build is simple and very effective. It relies on "multitool" skills to heal, damage and deal with the enemy. Empathy, Leech and Transferrence are the healing skills. Empathy and Transferrence for the party, and Leech for the Engineer. Leech, Transference, Wither and Decay are the damage skills. Leech, Wither and Decay for single targets, Transferrence for mobs and Pain for high hp targets. Pain is also the crowd control.

But why no love for Sonic Boom, you ask? Although this skill damages, it has such a long recharge (30 seconds) it is usually better to invest elsewhere. And what about Force Shield and Protection? This build draws more aggro than the normal support Engineer. Force Shield will not last long enough to be useful, and Protection does not Protect enough to be useful.

D. SUGGESTED SKILL MAP

1. Empathy
2. Wither
3. Decay
4. Leech

5. Empathy
6. Revive
7. Transferrence
8. Pain

1, then 2, 3 and/or 4 are the main attacks (depending on what you need). 5 makes sure you always have Empathy ready. 6 is your res and buff. 7 is your aoe and heal. 8 is your crowd control.

So what do you think?
