Core Engi is OP

[Paradoxoglanis.1904]

Some fun engi facts:Assuming 3 uses of cc with elixr X, rifle, and toolkit core engi gets roughly 2 hard cc every 10 seconds. Additionally, moa is one of the best aoe cc skills in the game, and has no counterplay.

Using elixir U and kinetic battery, core engi has quickness at roughly 33% uptime.With elixir S, core engi has stealth with roughly 20% uptime

The skill tool kit gives:

• 2s block every 14 seconds
• A1200 range unblockable cc every 14 seconds
• A pulsing aoe unblockable cripple on a 5s cooldown
• 25% vigor uptime
• A hard hitting smack attack

All for one utility skill

And to top it off they get a longer lasting rampage/tornado on a lower cooldown than the original skills.

Box of Nails is officially OP? This is the end of days.

[ArthurDent.9538]

F a c t s.

[GewRoo.4172]

Additionally Core Engi can hit ezpz 22k from stealth with 0 tells with the Grenade Kit Toolbelt skill. How is that justified? It has everything broken Holo has without the useless forge mode and ppl are not even aware of it lmaoooo

Sounds like someone got destroyed by a meme core engi build? Generally a good way to see if something is "op" is if everyone and their dog starts playing it (I'm looking at you FB). Theres a reason no one plays core engi

• A pulsing aoe unblockable cripple on a 5s cooldownBox of Nails is op? Really?

• A hard hitting smack atrack

OMG NOT THE SMACK :o

This whole thread was meant as a sarcastic poke at people claiming other specs are OP, like Firebrand. I don't think anybody genuinely believes core engi is OP.

[Rorschach.7406]

Dont think core engi with rifle is the best engi spec. For me scrapper wins by a mile. The gyro rework works very well now and you got the hammer which i would say is superior to rifle. In one game i ran a build with menders amulet, cant remember which rune tho, but at the end my stats were 500k dps with 1 milion healing...

[ILoveMonotony.1479]

It is extremely broken that occasionally Blow Torch connects with a target. This needs to go now.

[gannondorf.7628]

Nerf core engineer! The worst core of all but not enough!

[XenoSpyro.1780]

I've had rope tossed at me once and it didn't hurt. Net Shot damage OP, please nerf.

[bravan.3876]

I always said core specs should get the trade off!

[Tharan.9085]

If you just hit core engi hard enough holo will finally be balanced!

That looks like an old build from vanilla PvP. Would be fairly decent, although somewhat lacking in the DPS department.

[Bazsi.2734]

Noone plays core engi. Lets nerf so it stays that way.
