WAR (Warhammer Online)

Greetings!

Ive been thinking of being a Dwarf Engineer ?

How are they in battle ?

Thanks for the info!

Hi,

I plan on playing a dwarf, but not a engineer!  Unfortunatly as of right now engineers are probably the least popular class in the game, currently they are rather underpowered, or so I've read.  I played one, but only for a few levels, it just wasn't for me.  On the flip side the class seems like it has some really cool potential and the idea behind it seems really cool.  I'm guessing this class will get some more love soon and be better.

 I am a level 8 Dwarf Engineer, and I known that isn't high at all, but I have to say it is a fun class, but very unpowered compared to most other classes.  I seem to die much in RvR and I also seem to be outdamaged by tanks when I group.  

Still though, it is a fun class, but I hope they make it up to par to other classes, though I am not sure if I am getting this game or not.  If I did, I would play an Engineer, unless they didn't fix it, of course.

Dwarf wise Engineer is the most popular dwarven class.

 I think the popularity really depends on server.  On the first server I did, they were all over the place, then I tried a more populated server and there were more Ironbreakers than Engineers.

Definitely being a Dwarf. Most likely an Ironbreaker. I think I'd rather be up close and personal, as opposed to back shooting, and leaving a turret around.

I'm planning on rolling an engineer.

Ya , definitely a dwarf engineer here. I'm really enjoying the turrets. A lil underpowered but manageable.

See the problem is most engineer do not play properly.  A good engineer is successfully at the role of the class, area denial.

Even the damage of the well played engie(granted tier 1) can rival that of Brightwizards in the 20k range.  I've been watching and noticing well played engineers don't try to play the "ranged" dps role, but get in close and use the roots and grenades to harass the enemy approaching on their denial territory.  The weakness is in an open field, the denial territory becomes so large it's ineffective to try to force a choke point.  Thus being less of a threat with the AE and turrets.

I've been able to break 30k in the tier 1 bracket at level 9 with a marauder, but that includes some very dedicated healers and liberal use of the cone PB AE.

No way...I've pretty much played only dwarf classes and I think IB is far more common then engineer, people try engineer but I rarely see any past t1 compared to IB.  More people might try out engineer, but I think a very small percentag of these play past lvl 5
