An old staple of Holosmith roaming, bunker Holo is a solid 1vX oriented roaming spec and brings above average sustain and good damage avoidance/denial along with moderate damage and excellent CC and utility capabilities. More flexible in utility skill choice compared to other engi builds. Much better off against condition damage than an Explosive build as a result of cleanses on Inventions traitline and the right utility choice. I think this build is good for those of us who would like to run a bunker oriented holo or are bored of running Grenade Kit 24/7, although it lacks the massive burst of an Explosive traited holo. Nonetheless, a great duellist and powerful in outnumbered situations and a fine addition to any engi's roaming builds.
