they bumped the dmg up for turrets and reduced cd how is that nerfed ? im not being sarcastic explain it to like im kitten /p>

finally improved dmg on turrets and more what do you guys think? im doing a dungeon right now to test out some of the differences

KirinDave.6451:

Engineer damage is pretty lackluster right now unless you use the grenade kit. We’re hoping to see some dials turned up a bit with tomorrow’s patch.

I’ll go further than that. Engineer damage is bad right now, and only the grenade kit has any shot at keeping up with most other classes.

i thought they nerfed the grenade kit? :S

maybe its asking too much but the turrets look way to crappy. My friend thought that my turret was a tripoded camera. they should make them bigger and a little more complex on the design. This is not the first game with engineer/turrets maybe the should do a steampunk version of the tf2 turret or something.

agreed but they are probably fixing it already Engineers have had that problem for a while

i bought the mortal elite skill complete waste of 30 sp imo

I agree but one problem that i think should be addressed is that whenever i deploy a turret and mess up on the location of the turret or angle or w.e i want to be able to fix it without worrying of the 60 sec cd. We should be able to physically pick up the turret like an item and the keys would be binded to nothing and then set it down a little closer.

any thoughts on that idea

nope they should do an asura engi event or something similar. i like the commando idea tho

mortal definitely needs a range increase, and also whenever you use it the camera needs to pan out so we have a bit more visibility when using it. Its annoying to setup the camera just right so i can start nuking correctly

i did not know that i always thought it would get modified depending on the weapon. seems. i hope they fix it in a patch.. seems unfair

Is engineer squishy ?

Yes engineer is a little squishy but if you feel you are dying too much try a using shield/pistol combo more often and also try to use the engis abilities to his favor like try kiting the mob while turrets eat the mob up etc.

Engineer lv 80

i would not be surprised if they added them later on

Tifa Lockheart Ex.9614:

actually it doesn’t work out that well, did it with guildie, the process is longer because sometime he get the heart done faster than I can and vice versa, so it slow down progress.

if that is the case they should fix it. they should reward teamwork, but at the same time dont penalize the lone wolfs

When i go a runs with my guild i usually use rifle turret, rocket turret, and elixir gun.
so i can support my team mates. any ideas on a better setup?

what elite skills would engis here say is the best?

Orion the Cursed.1206:

Usually i’d go with chain lightning (if i like a chalenge and fun) or turret build (simpler) for pistol/shield.

thats what i want a pistol/shield turret build. any ideas for traits and skills
