Talk:Engineer Guide

Weapon Strategy
Since this is a guide for the class, I think it's the place to discussing this. If the admins think it's out of place, please be free to move it to an appropriate section.

One thing I noted in all guides regarding what weapons are good or not, they usually don't take into consideration the difficulty level. The shotgun for example is indeed a not very recommended weapon for an engineer, because the class is for debufing the battlefield by weakining the opponents, not fighting them upclose or charging the enemy. Except at hardcore and insanity levels.

Like the combat guide mentions, enemies stack with the player level and have immunities. This cause a side-effect that even if the player don't want to fight up-close, he will do so anyway. Because most enemies have defenses they tend to get close to the player a lot of time, so actually a shotgun as bonus talent is rather indicated and not the contrary.
