Getting it now? the only other class with this many support functions (and probably more) are Guardians. And even guardians don’t have as many heals as Engineer, Let alone with there hardest hitting Abilities
Learn what a support DPS is.
and screw Grenadier, rename it to War Medic
Actually, this proves you haven’t studied your class.
Most of the skills you mentioned are shamefully ineffective.
The guardian has fewer healing skills? that’s okay, because his are all vastly more effective. Bomb explosions heal allies? have you tried it? It’s for almost nothing. it’s a joke played on us to make us think we actually bring utility to the table. Mortar presently has shorter range than spec’d grenades AND does less damage.
The medkit seems like the embodiment of why I chose the engineer class. the ability to be a solid support-on-demand character. sadly, it too is grossly ineffective. you would think dropping all offensive ability from the weapon would grant us equally powerful support skill. Well it doesn’t. You’re still dramatically below a guardian for support, and while wearing weaker armor.
In short, I just wanted to post a rebuttal to your ‘support dps’ idea as it’s all in your head. All you have to do, is compare it to what other classes get. and heck, even really analyze it yourself, go heal yourself with a bandage and tell me what percentage of your hp you regain.
