Yeah, thats mine.
My trouble is finding the gimmick that makes the class work. I mostly have been using the female Quarian for the quickfire tech burst, I got in to using the demolisher a fair bit but they are hugely hampered on maps like condor which have poor grenade drops - end up in a party with anyone that uses grenades and you have to be a bit more selective.
You know that using a thermal clip pack refills your grenade count as well as your ammo, right?

And gives a 100% damage boost to your weapons for like 10 seconds (or was it 8, I can't remember)

I think it's 10.
E-dong post!
I approve after I [ X ]
Maybe. Still, it's the one kit where I really feel like I'm a cheating scumbag after using it. QME is just that bad cheap ridiculous friggin' awesome!
All Engineers are great in this game!
Oh... except for that one Turian. But I guess everyone has that "one friend" that you hang out with 'cus you feel badly for them.
Volus engineer can pretty easily rack up a juicy 45% debuff on all targets not to mention enemy speed reduction and prox mine stagger. You would then proceed to shoot all of the proverbial fish in the glowing red barrel with whatever gun you fancy.

And they stack too. Can 1 hit an Atlas with it or something.

What's with all the bad rap the Saboteur's getting anyway?.. I guess time to finally spec him and get those 200 waves complete...
On topic in general, plenty of powerful and fun kits among engineers. They're masters of tech explosions, debuffs, and decent weapon damage output. Pick a Hengie, FQE, GE, get a decent effect applicator, specc into all powers and you're all set. Volus played competently is a sight to see, well all of them are tbh. And then you have grenadiers (!) the demolisher girl not only she packs 2 kinds of grenades, but her pylon as well, also you can not care less for weapon cooldown too, Set MQE for detonation with his Arcs and he begins to feel almost as... dirty, as MQI. Then there's Talon abo... err, engineer with the Cain mines. I can't say much on Saboteur just yet but don't see how that kit can be terribad either

It's because the Saboteur, along with the Hunter, are the worst of the Engineers.
They're not terrible characters, they're just not very good either. It's entirely possible to do well with him given the right setup and player skill.
I wouldn't say any kit is terribad in this game. Not even the Volus Merc which in my opinion is the worst kit in the game.
Engineers are the Master Race.
the one thing I can agree with.
Engineers ****** rock, I love the GE the most, it's fast, it heals shields, strips shileds, wallhack, tech bursts and fire explosions all day with disruptor/incendiary ammo, it is fantastic!

That was one heck of a low blow, Cyonan.
Quarian Male, bring Grenade Capacity V. If you haven't used all of your Thermal Clip Packs by wave 6, you simply aren't throwing enough Arc Grenades.
The only Engineers I would say are mediocre at best are the Vorcha Hunter and Turian Saboteur.
I was going to like this post, but then you said that silly thing about the Vorcha.
I remember this thread when Lucky Starr posted it and I have vowed not to get sucked in again.
Basically L2P and also build your manifest so your guns do more damage and you can carry more grenades.
Done.
Well, I can say I enjoy the Female Quarian the most without a trace of doubt. But if you want something truly OP, you can't go wrong with the Male Quarian Engineer (4 points in tac scan & passives). Why I prefer the QME over Demo Girl is because you don't have to waste to many nades due to being able to get off 2 tech burts off one arc nade. And that debuff saves you nades on bosses too.
Nooooo. No Tac Scan. I hate it. Go 6 on everything except TS, give him a lolReegar and a Mattock, and then spam all of the lovely fire asplosions.

Not speccing glorious quarian Tacticool Scan is punishable by treason and exile.
Go 6 on everything but lolfitness. Give him some gun, preferably a quarian one. Spam gernades and fire rokets at everything. Tacticool scan big monstas to kill them moar faster.
Human, Geth and Female Quarian engineers are my three favorites.
Human with sabre
Geth with GSMG or Geth pulse rifle
Quarian female with executioner
Those are my setups on them that I enjoy a lot.

vorcha deserving praise is news to me.
Is this your manifest op? If so, here's a few builds you could try with your weapons, based on builds I use:
Quarian: Works nicely with a wraith too.
Salarian: I really like the venom on him, although where yours is at I you may prefer to take a lighter weapon.
Geth rapid fire weapons also work well if you want more combos.
Saboteur Sabotage followed by homing grenades for tech bursts are the key.
The MQE and Demolisher and Talon are all absurdly powerful when spamming arc grenades/ cain mines, but I don't know them well enough to suggest builds really.
How about tactics for some builds?
The tactics are "spam combos, reap rewards".
Here is a great Engineer build: Human Engineer. You can drop drone ranks for passive or fitness if you want, but I like the drone.
Strategy:
- For mooks with protection: Overload, then shoot. The mook will be dead. Yes, even if it's a Phantom (on Gold at least). Maybe Geth Hunters or Pyros will survive, but that's it.
- For unprotected mooks, either just shoot, or Incinerate then shoot.
- For armored enemies, just spam shoot-power-shoot-power over and over, using the power as a reload cancel when able. If you alternate Incinerate and Overload in your spamming, you can often get a Tech Burst or Fire Explosion for every power you throw after the first one (as long as you're quick with your Overloads, because Incinerate has a short priming window).
Human engineer is one of the most powerful damage dealers and cc'ers in the game imo. Fire 'splosions and tech bursts all day err day.
