The Engineer Class is not as useful as in Firefall.

[Ultraman Fudoshina]

This class is too cumbersome to manage and not that strong either. Its hard to compare with the Engineer of Firefall. First off why can i place 3 turrets at the same time? Why can't my healing turret heal my other turret. As an Engineer i should have a unique ability to fix or heal broken machines at a cost of mana for example when were guarding resource rigs. It would be more useful especially if we are in a mission that only 2 of us are in a party with the use of turrets placement to compensate. I can also suggest i have a talent that my turrets follow me like a drone pet. It needs to be a unique and useful class. It would be nice to also have a command to focus fire on my turrets on a given target like bosses.

Are you referring to Jayber?

put a single HP max HP module + Max HP Auxiliary and suddenly each your turret has 8k++ health. with good combination mod, you are able to go full rutation of turret -> ult -> turret with longer duration -> ult -> repeat until you complete the mission or running out of MP

and good Jayber never ran out of MP

Yep. 120 hours into him still trying to get some unique mods specific to him. But over all his abilities is not even close to FireFalls engineer. They can fix it im sure.

Yes. I was expecting it will be like FireFalls Engineer its lack luster at best. Sad he was the first guy i had to farm only to get something measly.

It requires too much time to manage turrets and buff them. All abilities have long activation time. At the same time damage of turrets is very low, enough to kill only basic trash mobs.
At the same time other descendants can do millions of damage with 1 ability.
Right now Jayber is one of the most useless characters.

Jayber is in a really poor state atm. There are 2 builds currently: Im a medic and thats it or My turrets AoE does damage. For the assault turret to be worth anything you HAVE to use the AoE, which feels like poor planning. In addition the Unique feels like it was spooned into the kit to be able to say he has a unique.

I find Jayber to be an interesting descendant and i hope the devs can rectify some of the inate issues with his kit. IMO Assault turret needs a fire rate boost at the very least, likely a crit rate boost or damage boost as well. Medical turret feels good, i wish the MP recovery applied to self but i understand the power that puts in one players hands. The Unique needs alot of work if they are going to keep it. The ult feels fun to use and valuable in a fight for multiple reasons, well designed.

So far I haven't found an mmorpg game that can match Firefall's class standards, and we probably never will.
