You just made engineer worthless
engineer now is quite strong. You have only to change your way of think. In my opinion some mechanics now are changed … for example now ,in my opinion if you take inventions the best healing skill is AED + AMR… and not healing turret and with hgh elixir H is good also … it depends and many things have changed .
Honestly if you take a conditions approach to Celestial with double pistols and not a power approach with rifle, the whole package is still pretty strong.
condition with p/p and rabid is really strong now in my opinion … you have only to change a little your mind and for example avoid alchemy and take inventions if you don’t go hgh . i find condi with firearms , tools and invention really strong and fun .. i have more fun with p/p that with celestial rifle …i prefer the p/p playstyle . What i did not love , and what i don’ t love ever now is shield … but these are my preferences
