Hello everyone,
I just started playing this game today, and I was excited to pick my characters. My main has become this Engineer I am playing, and i’m okay with that. It’s a very fun play style, and it’s certainly enjoyable to be a ranged damage dealer, as it’s the kind of class i’m most comfortable with. I was drawn to this class, and this game, because it reminded me so much of my D&D games, especially the Artificer. The idea of a clockwork genius lobbing grenades just really appealed to me.
My question, though, is about viability. See, I am currently using two pistols. I like the attacks having two of them presents, and they have saved my life on numerous occasions. I’ve seen the attacks for rifles, and said no thanks. P/S is interesting, and could be good for survivability, but since i’m only wearing medium armor, I prefer to take my opponents out as quickly as I can, and preferably at a distance if possible. My main question is this: are two pistols viable at level 80 as a weapons choice, or should I be looking to get a shield or a rifle?
I understand that the grenade kit will override my main attacks anyway, but i’m not sure if that’s permanent, or if it needs to be activated every time. Anyone that can enlighten me would be greatly appreciated. I like the idea of grenades, and i’ve heard they are one of the best damage-wise, so i’m excited.
Any kind of advice, about the pistols, or just Engineers in general, would be wonderful. I have played many other MMOs, with WoW being the most prominent, and I played a Hunter there.
Thank you for your time.
