Alright, lets hear from the Engineers. Who are you? What Level? What are you liking and disliking?
My character is human and named Leo Davinc. He is currently level 27 or so. I have found myself preferring the rifle which which surprises me because I thought I would prefer pistol and shield. I have played around with a couple of the different utility skills but so far have stuck with the grenade kit, rifle turret and rocket turret for the longest.

Mine is 12 so far and I enjoy it. I get a kick out of jump shot and then using rocket boots to put me back where I was.

I've got a level 42 engineer and I completely love her (well not HER...meh you know what I mean). I've been messing around with different builds and have 2 I fall back on. One is condition based with dual pistols. I run various kits or elixirs with it and usually at least one turret. The other is a power build for my rifle. I wind up using my rifle on champions and such or when i need more control (yeah I pull 10 mobs at once). Either way I'm having tons of fun. Oh and in parting...underwater? bomb kit...yeah its that crazy good.

Like the grenade kit if leveling with someone every one is a combo field!!

Just as an update. I am level 62 or so. I am still using rifle mostly. I am currently using grenade kit, elixir gun, and elixir b as my utility skills. I should probably change elixir gun but have not bothered yet. |

I got bored yesterday and made an engineer. I hadn't really played with one during the beta weekends or anything(just long enough to see some bare basics, not even the first kit). So when I got the skill for the grenade kit and saw all the new skills pop up i got very excited. I might fall in love with the versatility of this class. AoEing things by spamming grenades was a blast. Haven't even gotten the flamethrower yet and i'm loving it. Tried pistols, pistol+shield, and rifle and so far dual pistols is the most fun. Of course i'm still low level and haven't done pvp or large events yet. And i haven't tried any kits under water yet.
I did notice i died a few times early on before i got used to swapping from the grenade kit back to pistols to finish them off. However it was still easier than starting off on my necro (stupid crappy starting heal).

Yeah engineers have crazy versatility. I run a half potion half kit build. Just having my rifle and then the flamethrower and grenade kits give me plenty of skills to switch between. Between the flamethrower's push attack and blinding move, the grenade kit's chill and blind moves, and the rifle's push/knockdown and immobilize moves...all these along with dodge can be used together to take down enemies without even getting hit. The best thing is that by the time you've used all these moves and expended your stamina from dodging, if you space them out enough by doing regular attacks or even using other damaging skills from the weapons/kits you can have them cooled down again by the time you've expended all your escapes. My favorite thing about the class so far. I've had to really learn how to use the class effectively since stepping foot in explorable mode and it's really turning out to be an amazing class with some really great builds.
