So I’m bored to tears with the kitten easy grenade kit, and always wanted to make a mine/trapper type engi and have been working on it this past week. I’m kinda left scratching my head though, from what I’ve seen (unless I missed it, and if I did please correct me you people with more engi experience) there’s not a whole lot of traits tied directly to mines. the ones I did see were kinda “meh”. The explosion radius and explosion power seemed to be the only ones that would benefit it. I have a charr engi so I get the good ol suicide mine too from the shrapnel mine racial skill, and coupled that with the throw mine and related toolbelt items. It’s actually a pretty fun build and works mildly well, but it just lacks punch and half the time my mines seem to miss completely even if the enemy is standing right next to them. I’ve been tossing around ideas for the last utility, but would like input first as well as a good elite for it. My weapons I swap between dual pistols or rifle depending on the situation but dungeons I think I might stick with pistol/shield. Note: I only want a pve build, I don’t think I’ll ever take engi into pvp it’s just not what I wanna do with this profession right now. So far everyone just says bomb kit, but then it’s just a bomb kit build with a few mines, and totally defeats the purpose of what I’m trying to do. I was conflicted about which way to go with it: either a boon/buffer utilizing the suicide bomb and want them to hit you, or go the other route and use the traits to keep endurance high and dodge constantly and never get hit. Obviously the first one is a no-no for some fights, but I never stick with a rigid build anyway, thats how you fail at the game, by not being flexible. Toss some ideas up here, let’s see what you guys come up with. The trolls need not post, I’ll just ignore you and make you look like a kitten.
