Engi farming

[HolySpartan]

So Im rolling an Engineer first for some decent farming capabilities alongside playing something ranged in rvr when needed. What spec is the "farming spec"?

Tinkerer

Tinkerer is good, if your new and levelling a character i'd go up the grenade tree, take napalm, least that way you can still rvr and spam grenades on the run with bombardment turret, though if your going to do that make sure you also take throwing arm, tactic isn't needed for pve though so its up to you in the end. If your gonna go tinkerer take keg and use expert skirmisher tactic for faster deployment otherwise it's useless and takes too long to build.

Basic spec for aoe farming that I use, 100% uptime:

I put RR into max parry/rest into futile strikes. I put armor talis in my gear, so I'm running around 4.3k+ with tactic slotted, and decent parry from rr/gear/tactic.

Use keg off cooldown (you can have 2 up at once), use rift if it gets too sticky, use the aoe pet (flamer turret), keep rod up for big pulls, use aoe dots, and then spam blunderbuss. Use the defensive morale2 in emergencies, you won't run out of AP with the tactic slotted.

For particularly large pulls (you can pull as many mobs as you want, as long as you have a keg up), move back to turret, rod, and then magnet. Then go to town.

From my personal expierence, it's a bit slow to lvl up until you got Lightning Rod, but after that you can pull groups of 7+ your lvl and above without trouble. Early on set up Flame Turret, pull with Acid Grenade and then get a Friction Burn dot on your targets and spam Blunderbuss till they are dead.
Focus on getting Lightning Rod and Extra Ammo first, and slot Extra Ammo as your first tactic, asap.
