Im still new overall at being level 80 with this class.
Still love to theorycraft and what better class to do that with then engies
Ok perplexity runes and where they stand as far as being nerfed can be saved for another thread.
That aside here is the idea. Which I dont have the micro management ability to pull off personally.
Vs some classes could you literally interupt / pushback with short intervals applying perplexity
Shield #4 aoe pushback 30 seconds – 24 with trait
Flamethrower #3 cone pushback 15 seconds – 12 with trait
Accelerated Turrets – Rifle Turret toolbelt aoe pushback 19 seconds
– Flame Turret toolbelt aoe pushback 24 seconds
Each has a chance to apply perplexity and peel enemy off teammates/yourself
Combine this with the blind from flamethrower or another turret/utility such as net turret for more control.
