Ok, ok. I like that build above, but I think this one might be better received around here: TrollgineerBecause "fk you all, and especially fk you Geth. No, just fk you, eat stunlock. Troll me? I troll you." Falcon and Venom are also options, but Scorpion allows for truly silly cooldown times, and helps with the trolling of Cerberus (Phantoms and Dragoons aren't as trolled by his powers as most everybody else, and Scorpion trolls them pretty hard). Sure, Venom might kill quicker, but killing them swiftly isn't the goal, revenge stunlock is. You may also notice the Martial Artist in there, this is so if Geth are REALLY pissing you off, you can bitchslap them as well, or even put on the BatGlove and pummel them into next week. This is the REAL Trollgineer - everything you do staggers and burns

^That also works. Hell, as long as the enemy is trolled into oblivion, it doesn't really matter who or what trolls them, right? Sometimes, the game just deserves it.

I've been around long enough to try and occasionally enjoy my share of hipster builds, but the Human Engineer without a Drone is like an Infiltrator without Cloak or a Vanguard without Charge. Hipster is hipster but stoopid is just stoopid, unless you can persuade me why a player of your skill needs those placebo Fitness points on Gold+? Not to mention the volsent, with whom skipping points in the drone to put them into fitness would be even more crazy. My God! I forgot about him! This is possibly the most sensible post in the thread, and totally beyond argument. As for the hipsters, I dunno. Arkhne's suggestion is great fun, but not optimal. I haven't seen if Miniditka77 has made the leap over here, but I miss him in this thread. The characters I feel I know as well as they can be known are limited to the Justicar, Krentinel, BatSol, TSent and Geth Engie, but I know my Human Engineers better than all them put together. I really do have and use 8 of them. His or her combos are the major source of power, so you want a gun light enough to be able to alternate Chain Overload and Area Incinerate for your own 6x6 Tech Bursts. Everything else is debatable, but common sense tells me that the Drone renders groups of enemies helpless while I shoot them or blow them up. He might be the most versatile character in terms of being able to make all weapon classes equally viable - Locust, Carnifex, Falcon, Disciple, Kishock, for example, are not weapons most people reach for when heading to Gold, but the HE can make them sing. Crank the guns up a class and he becomes a WMD.

Needs more Volus, and especially the most badarse of badarses, VolSent. Nobody messes with the little ball of fury! Nat, you're not my friend anymore! *goes to unfriend* Oh, you weren't my friend anyway I feel lonely now

Yeah, that would leave you with shield boost and the worst Power in the game : Decoy only.
The VolSent is arguably the weakest kit by far in the game when it comes to damage output, but damn he's fun as hell to play.

If you are playing the volsent then you are playing this game too much and need help. I snorted. Of course I'm playing this game too much and need help. Seriously Nat, VolMerc with Falcon against Geth is beyond hilarious, and if you ever happen to play a 4 VolusMerc against Geth game you might end up needing surgery. I can hear HeroicMass's laughter in my head just thinking about it. It's not the fastest, sure, but it's just epic, especially on maps with ramps. If you want faster take a Saber, but it's less fun.

Saber is currently my weapon of choice on the VolSent. Though, I am going to experiment with a few others in the near future, all these URs flowing in again need re-testing. (Got Harrier 9 and 10 in back-to-back packs last night, for example)

Some people like it, and I won't tell them that they're wrong, but there is no chance of me using it again, will even use the Falcon long before I use the GPS again.

So, what does shock that chain lightning doesnt do ? It, umm, has a more pun-y name? Isn't that a shocking thing to suggest?! Maybe I shouldn't drone on about it, I don't want to overload the puns and be incinerated for it. We all know how stunningly bad puns are.
...I should go.

GPS is devastating on or off host. If it is a potato connection, why are you still playing on that host? I find the [ESC] button quickly, followed by "Are you sure you want to quit the match in progress?"
To not use the GPS because of potato, is essentially saying "This game actually does suck so hard, I no longer want to play it." Potato was built in to this game, so either love all of the potato or you are fooling yourself.
This message comes freely from Qui-Gon-Cain from Kung Fu-Glenn. I have traveled the earth by quick match, in my opinion as much or more than any other soul, and so -
1. If your weapon sucks, it is not the gun, it is the connection. Quit, find a new host. 2. If it appears you are being one-shotted by anything that looks at you, it is the connection. Quit, find a new host. 3. When you decapitate the Nemesis with your backhand, then hear her scope lining up and you get shield-gated by a headless dead Nemesis, it is the connection. Maybe quit... that much lag can be fun.
Not taking Incinerate on the Vanilla Human Engineer is an airlockable offense, frankly I found it quite disturbing. Especially considering it was not a full melee fitness build. No, No, NO NO NO NONONONONONONONO
66653 or GTFO. Combat Drone is good clean fun.
