Engineers dominating in PvP ?

[TheChairmaker]

I have absolutely no trouble with Ops. My lowly little level 31 Engineer can pwn a level 35 op with full BladeTech and BladeFins, when I'm wearing full Atomite and wielding that instrument of annihilation, the Incinerator (obviously with a HoloShield too). In stark contrast, even a level 30 Com can absolutely tear my poor little Zakalwe to shreds. My tactics for Op-pwning go thus:
1) Set up Force Shield to absorb a little damage. Every little helps!
2) Cast Pain and Decay instantly, cos Decay still reduces the target's armour.
3) Cast Leech after a few auto-attacks to replenish your health a bit.
4) Start to spam Empathy as often as you can. Also spam Revive to restore your mana.
5) Cast Wither. Wait for your skills to recharge.
6) Rinse and repeat, swapping the order of attack skills as you see fit.
This strategy works IMO. I hope you find it works for you!

Actually an engineer doesn't stand a chance against an op assuming both can play. You don't get to rinse and repeat. You're welcome to try.

As I haven't played comm in pvp myself I can't really speak for it, but have faced quite a few I dare say an engineer doesn't stand a much of a chance against comms either. Comms are very strong.

Oh, and force shield doesn't absorb damage in a sense that it would be taking damage instead of you. (at least it didn't do that before, and I don't think they've changed that to pvp, but do correct me if this has changed)

Evidently my opponent couldn't play then. No, Engis stand as much chance as a snowball in an oven against Coms, better off surrendering IDK about Force Shield, it seemed to take the damage for me.
