Pocket Raptors as an Engineer?
Nades, all day long on dem lil suckers. Or Flamethrower. And you do have to move a bit, any class does. Stand still and they will own you.
or use a hammer:
block w/ 4 when they lunge, set 5 on your feet, spin once with 2.
that should be enough, maybe the odd AA you have to place.
I have tried every one of my (very few) weapons, every kit, and everything else I can think of. I can deal with them on every other class, but on engineer there isn’t any weapon I can use to deal QUICK AOE (all the aoe is either in a delay, a super long CD, or has flight time that means they aren’t there when it lands), and then I can’t change to kits fast enough to even try anything if I manage to rally.
Flamethrower. You can just clear them out with the AA if you like, but it’s probably easier if you drop a fire field on them, fire the projectile blast into the field as you enter melee range, dodge their first charge and finish them off with the auto attack.
Grenades. You can toss a bunch of these from range, so there really shouldn’t be too much left.
Bombs? I don’t see why you couldn’t use these. Pocket raptors rush at you, so maybe just tank up with bulwark gyro/protection and let them pick at you. Just make them pay for the meal! I haven’t tried this method as flamethrower just looks like the most hilarious way to clear pocket raptors to me.
Honestly, there should be so many ways to handle this on engi. They can do basically everything.
use the power of the blinds xD rotate bomb kit #4,mortar #4 and grenades #3/pistol#3 as fillers to keep them permablinded and you’ll receive no damage while you dps
