Hi,
I’m a fresh engineer and have been playing around with a build I ‘think’ will be to my liking. This is my first build so please excuse my ignorance if I have made any large mistakes.

I’m looking for a close range, kind of point defence build so have focused on the Bomb Kit and Toughness/Healing.
I have chosen the rifle for its immobilize and close range nature.
I have chosen Slick Shoes for the knockdown, as with the immobilize, so my bombs have a greater chance of hitting.
I find myself ‘below 25%’ A LOT so I have 3 abilities kicking in at this point to give me great survivability (Regen, healing skill reset and mines) while I re-heal.
Cloaking device speaks for itself but I am not sure regarding Power Shoes.
Acidic coating sounds useful for when pesky Thieves open on me as I have a 50% chance they will be blinded for their initial burst but I could swap this out.
I am aware this build leaves me vulnerable to ranged builds but I do have a couple of gap closers with the tool belt skill on Slick Shoes, quickness from elixir B and rifles JumpShot.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts
