1 construct drone and 2 type of bots.

And i dont like that build at all.


Doesnt have a haste bot (wich is great, even better in teamplay).
Does not have beacon (wich is a must)

Id prefer haste bot + rocket bots (suicide attack is a really good skill), dont like that build at all.

it's MMO style in some ways - the stations have lots of people - when you join a party and go to an area though it will only contain your party.

hehe you dont know, but i have haste bot and beacon on weapons , so there is really no use for me to put any points into those.

@soul-keeper This is a very good build, the molotov skill is sweet

So thats like 1-2 skills in to each? Thats a tad to low imo.

Either you max haste bot or dont bother imo

IMHO Bomber bot is garbage. It does "reasonable" damage and has a "reasonable" phase chance, but a drone with a decent parawave/flux (with shield pen) or a combustion grappler will phase just as often if not more (especially with a good paraflux). Moltov assault is your friend, it's what makes you godly. Spend points on your drone's retrofit skills AS NEEDED. Medpack retrofit is a pointless investment as you can easily get 2x +2/3 medpack 1 handed weapons and just swap - cast - swap.

So, Rocket bot is a definite (it does 4x the damage of bomber).
Now, haste vs bomber...the question is, will you be playing 100% BY YOURSELF? I mean, no solo xp groups, no regular groups? Because if you will ever be in a solo xp group (and you WILL if you want good xp) then bomber's damage becomes very neglagable. However, if you have a good auto-rifle (10-20+ dmg exothermic does nicely) you are getting a HUGE boost in damage from haste bot, in addition to your drone firing off (ie., phasing) alot more often.

I left the build 3 points short on some of the "crucial" skills, since +1-2 engineer skill items are starting to become available, and if I'm building for end game, I will eventually have +2 or 3 to all skills.

1 Point in escape and 1 point in beacon - well worth it.

Master engineer is something you have to decide on for yourself. I like to have 2-4 points, because the diminishing returns on armor make it less useful after that. At level 50, with 3 points in master engineer, my drone has 88% dmg reduction. That's with an upgraded nightmare wart's leg and some very decent armor.

Anyway, I'm level 50 on my engineer, and that's what I have to say about that. If you have further questions feel free to ask.
