This is your single target attack skill, or boss skill if you will. All your party members will love you for it. You will keep Force Field up at all times, and if you pop it only when fully charged, it will keep you immortal through its cooldown even at the very meanest mobs.Īnother no brainer.

Hands down the best skill the engineer has, if properly used. Works great with my style of play, and since your dex it at base you do need the extra tankiness. The Aegis of Fate is debated, but I like the passiveness of it. You do only magic damage, and only electrical and fire at that. You rely heavily on armor with this build, so Bulwark is a no brainer. You will have armor percent bonuses, so contrary to popular belief, VIT is quite important for the tank engineer, especially when sacrificing the DEX. VIT not only gives you life, but more importantly armor. Keep in mind, if you play through the game on veteran but plan on playing elite later, keep the VIT on the high side. Focus gives you damage, and vitality gives you survivability. How you distribute it is up to you really. You will not need it.įOC/VIT: The bulk of your points goes here.

I was not, so my STR reached 60 before I stopped feeding it.ĭEX: Base. The only reason for putting points in STR is for gear requirements, so you could keep this at base if you are patient enough to wait for the level requirements of gear. With this build, I tried to make it so bosses dont take forever in solo play, and I believe I have accomplished that. This is just my version, and I am sure there are many different ones that work at least equally good. Keep in mind, TL2 is very flexible when it comes to working builds. Unlike many guides, I provide a lot of demo gameplay with this build on veteran ng+ at. This build will _not_ use a weapon for dps, nor dex for tanking, so the usual point distribution of str+dex for a tank goes out the window :) So this is my take on a tank buid using the engineer class.
