Usage
General
Stability simply use this skill on the downed enemy to knock him out of range. In an 1v1 scenario you can use the same method to push enemies off the capture point, which opens the opportunity to cap it without performing a stomp so you can leave your enemy bleeding out, robbing precious time from your opponent.
- Also removes soft-CC effects such as
Immobilize.
- Also removes soft-CC effects such as
- The best skills to use with
- Fire a cloud of shrapnel that causes more damage the closer you are to foes.
- on Toolkit.
- Cast the skill, and just before it does the damage, swap to another kit. The skill casting won't get interrupted and the weapon swap will trigger the sigil (unless it's on CD).
- These skills are hard to land, so try to use them after a ,
Regeneration. This skill also does decent damage and hits foes twice - once when you throw it and again on its way back.
Making a 2nd healing skill
- You can use Water Fields provided by your healing skill (
- on Rifle.
- on Elixir Gun.
Tool kit basics: Toolkit is a very handy set once you learn to use it, the main reason to take it is not the damage.
- - the bleed damage you get from it is insignificant, but it's good for crippling enemies
- - the 5 stacks of confusion this skill applies is just great and the skill's damage also scales well with Power, tho it can be difficult to land, therefore people usually use it after a Magnet pull.
- - a low CD block, this skill will save your life many many times, one of the main reasons to take this kit.
- - it can be used for more than just setting up a hit with Pry Bar, for instance if used at the right spot, the engineer can pull people to really unwanted places: at Temple of the Silent Storm it's possible pull people into the pit at the upper buff, pull others to glass panels on Skyhammer, or from a window at Kyhlo's Clocktower pull a bunker onto the stairs from the cap point, often forcing another member of the enemy to stand on the point until the bunker climbs back or giving enough time to one of your teammates to decap the point (even better, you can just leap to the node with Jump Shot). It's also Unblockable and if you can predict a guardian's or just get lucky, you can interrupt it, which send his heal on full CD without healing him.
Elixir gun basics: (if you take it)
- Spray a cone of elixir fumes, inflicting poison and vulnerability to foes and curing conditions on allies with every strike.
Poison application. Use it on downed enemies to hinder res attempts.
- - Blast finisher that can be chained with a water field of your healing skill for additional healing + it's a superior disengage ability.
- - AoE heal, long duration Light field, nice buff to sustain.
- One of the reasons why this Triple kit build works is that Elixir gun is the only kit that has a stunbreaker (toolbelt skill ).
Counters
- Heavy Condition pressure.
- Heavy CC.
