Grail is super fun - the ult in particular just FEELS amazing to use. Has its weaknesses in solo carrying but quite good if you have someone to deal with pesky specials. The weapons are okay to good - Bret SNS is only useable on GK tho.

Engineer is a mixed bag. The weapons are both crazy good especially the pistol on ranger but the engineer himself is just not very fun for me (and a bunch of other people from what ive read) due to the crank mechanic that just feels tedious.

Considering the price point - both are easily worth the money tho!

Engi is definitely worth a try if you enjoy the base game's ranged classes. May or may not be meta or anything, but the minigun is great fun to use and both the Cog Hammer and the Masterwork Pistol are fantastic even on non-engi classes.

Grail Knight is pretty great and his ultimate comes back fast and mulches bosses which is always great to get them out of the way ASAP. Between a Shade stabbing it and a GK stabbing it, it's pretty much dead. His weakness is of course you carry 2 Melee Weapons so do play with people that can shoot Specials. Bennisons are nice. He doesnt have Defensive options so he can be squishier than you expect so as usual, don't get hit.

Engineer is... yeah a mixed bag. He's very powerful, Coghammer is a great weapon, Masterwork I'm not a big fan of just because it takes a second before your shot comes out which can be difference between getting grabbed by a Leech or a Gas Rat firing off his bomb, but it does do an absolute insane amount of damage. He's also Ranger-squishy so don't try to tank, dont be out of position, don't get tunnel-visioned with your machine gun and then bashed in the back. His ability bar doesn't really regenerate naturally so you have to press F and then hold R to crank it and stacks can either diminish over time but kept when firing with a talent or stick around with another talent but you have less max stack and lose them when firing. Personally it's a lot of work to be constantly crankin' the dwarf beefstick all the time and it does take awhile for to get it back to full, and you're very vulnerable when crankin it out.

It's really up to you if you want to remember to be pressing F->R every 12.5 seconds. It really is a lot of micro and again you cannot get tunnel-visioned with him, and I see a fair amount of Engineers getting tunnel-visioned and going down all the time.

That said in Chaos Wastes where you get BOTH the talent that makes it stay when firing and never diminish are great and it becomes a lot more forget-about-it.

Grail Knight is one of the best careers in the game so absolutely worth it. Engi is an odd one. I like him, but he's certainly far from what would be considered meta. Amazing career for Chaos Wastes expeditions though.
