Hello fellow engis,

First off I’m only a casual player ankitten ot looking for an elite build. I mainly goof around, used to play dungeons and do events in the high level zones just to get karma/exotic gear. I’m still using my first set of gear that I basically chose because of looks rather than stats lol. I’m looking to go back to doing dungeons with my engi just for fun. Would like a viable FT build possibly but am open to other fun ideas. Nothing that’s gonna top the charts but just something that I can do my part and is fun. Here is my current build and gear. Am willing to build a whole new set of gear for this but like I said, just for fun.

Thoughts for goofy fun builds are always welcome. :-) Entertainment is valued more than numbers.
Just looking for a fun idea.

FT/EG is a great build that dishes out damage and support. Get 6/6 Altruism runes for group might & fury, healing turret for group heals, EG for group heals and condition cleanse, and FT to burn the world. Your survivability will be pretty great.
Maybe something like this

Here is a fun build I play once in a while.

You’re switching stuff around a lot but the nice part is you can stack might.

FT4 fire field, Blast finish it with the two turret Detonates, Shield4 and EG4. This will give the group 12 stacks of might which you should be able to maintain. Get our pugs to blast your firefield also.

For damage FT2, EG4, Rifle3, Rifle5 and Surprise Shot toolbelt. FT auto is nice for stacking some Vulnerability.

Not the highest DPS but you’ll add to the group. Not to mention all the utility of EG and FT. If you get other blasters in your group use Rifle Turret to add Vulnerability instead of blasting it for might. You’ll also stack might while in FT with Juggernaut.

GL n have fun,

Blood~

Blood and Seras, thanks for the build ideas. You have me looking at this a little differently now to get an FT based build. :-) Not a big fan of rifle but Pistol Shield can be added for condi and some survival.

Ukuni, AWESOME troll the other team video. Quite comical :-D. I wish gadgets/ pistols were a little more viable. Would love to do a P/P Gadget build. I made one for roaming a while a go but not much help other wise.

More Goofy/Fun builds still wanted :-D

Seras, Would Rampager work better than bezerker for your build? Or if I’m not taking the extra crit damage should I skip crit and go for Carrion for more survivability?

@Jastorm

- Rifle is a power and control weapon.
- FT scales better off power than condition damage, not to mention it only has one condition (burning). Use it to stack might on the fire field, and aoe blind and knockback. #2 deals nice damage too.
- EG will be used for team support, spreading poison to reduce enemy healing, creating a healing field, & blasting water fields (HT). Also, Acid Bomb scales very nicely off power.

Rampager’s condition damage would be wasted in my opinion.
