Engineer Description
Engineers have some powerful minions in their upgradeable drones, and they should be effective supporting them with bots. They also sport some general Hunter skills for doing damage themselves and supporting their floating robots. It is quite common for an Engineer to let his drone be his personal "tank", taking the damage while you sit in safety, shooting the monsters, and repairing the drone. The Engineer is a classic "pet class", and is never alone when he is adventuring. The only thing that might be missing is some detailed controls, as the robots doesn't always do exactly as the master desires.
Starting Equipment
New Engineers starts off with default cloth armour of no defensive value and are armed with a Thermal Bolter.
Engineer Skills
The Engineer has 27 skills, mostly about how to create an improve drones and bots, but also some shooting, Precision Strikes and debuffing skills. The skills with drones and bots mostly helps improving damage, quantity, enemy debuffing, or survivability on the robots. The skills are roughly divided into six Skill Groups: Tactical, Combat, Grenade, Precision Strike, Bots, Drones

Skill Builds
This is the sections where you as a user can give suggestions to skill builds.
Party Engineer/Team Booster: This Engineer is built to assist a party of primarily ranged classes. The skills this engineer would maximize would be 'Inhibitor Bots' and 'Haste Bot'. This hunter provides a drone to take hits for the team, slows enemies, speeds up party members and can even heal party members (if they so desire). Heavy investment is made into 'Construct Drone', 'Armor Retrofit' and perhaps 'Medkit Retrofit' or 'Shield Retrofit' if you want to be able to heal your party. Essential skills to put a little investment in would be 'Tactical Stance' and 'Beacon' for their high early level benefit. Beyond this, this build is fairly flexibile. There are enough skill points after building this basic Party Engineer to invest more in your drone (going for decent ranged or melee weaponry), or investing in your own combat abilities (more in 'Tactical Stance', 'Rapid Fire' or 'Phase Grenade' - or even some airstrike abilities). You cannot invest in more drones (since you can only have 2 out at a time), but if you want to win some friends, go for the Party Engineer.
