Engineer (NOTD)

Description

 * Front-line serving members of the Engineer Corps are called Engineers. Choosing to fight the enemy with both brain and brawn, they are accompanied by combat worthy robots, from the outright destructive X1 Guardian, to the more versatile Field Probes, to the mobile Field Nexus. Engineers are able to assess and exploit weaknesses with great skill. They are most feared for their utilization of Nexus technology to influence biological organisms and even mind control them. Gruff, elitist and multi-talented the Engineer no doubt belongs in the Marine Corps.

Starting Skill
Repair Beam (R)
 * An incredibly useful repair ray emitted from the Engineer's Robotic Arm. Repairs shielding, rebuilds allied mechanical units, and has a 33% chance per second to cure Short Circuit. Heals shields with a 1:2 energy to shields ratio.

Reinforce (?)
 * Gives 5 armor for 1 minute to a targeted mechanical unit. Does not stack. 3 second cooldown. 20 energy cost.

Innate Abilities
Engineering Passive
 * The Engineer is highly skilled in robotics, as a result he can activate the auto-turrets in the Armory.

=Field Support=

Field Probe
(Q) - The Engineer can create up to three Field Probes to assist him on the battlefield. Although physically frail, with poor damage, their true value lies in their powerful abilities and ability to draw off enemy attacks. 10 second cooldown. 25 energy cost.

 * Shock (Q) - Decreases target move speed by 50% for 5 seconds
 * Penetrate (W) - Decreases the target armor by 4 for 8 seconds


 * Level 1 - Maximum of 1 Probe

Disruption Tower
(F) - Creates a stationery tower that emits a powerful radiation that slowly melts enemies 9 area radius. This destructive energy is more efficient at dealing damage to infested matter as well as Massive and Heroic targets. Thankfully the Power Armor of the Marines protects them from such radiation. 2 may be active at once, and they have a 2 second build time. The Disruption Towers can be self destructed, causing a 2 second stun to all enemies nearby. Towers can only kill targets when any Engineer is within 5 radius.

 * Level 2 - Tower deals 16 damage every 2 seconds, maximum of 8 units affected at a time.

Energy Battery
The Engineer installs a more efficient energy cell for himself, which increases his energy regeneration by +0.3515 and boosts his energy reserve. This small fission reactor radiates an ambient form of energy that can then be harnessed by nearby allies, granting them similar increased energy regeneration rate. Does not stack with the Batteries of other Engineers. Passive Aura.


 * Level 1 - Increases base energy by 50 and the aura emits in a 5 area radius
 * Level 2 - Increases base energy by 100 and the aura emits in a 10 area radius

=Combat=

X-1 Guardian
(Y) - The Engineer can create a land based Droid to operate as a personal bodyguard. It comes equipped with a powerful railgun and is very nimble. However, should it die it is expensive to replace.

 * Level 1 - Stuns for 1 second, reduces armor by 2, increases attack speed 10%. Slows Heroic units by 15%.
 * Level 2 - Stuns for 2 seconds and reduces armor by 4, increases attack speed 20%. Slows Heroic units by 30%.

Synergy
By synchronizing their attacks to hit the same spot on a target the Engineer and his X-1 can punch through the same bullet holes. Doing so increases the kinetic energy of each hit, as the shots tear through soft tissue. By attacking in this fashion both Man and Machine's damage greatly increases when fighting the same enemy. Passive
 * Level 1 - 20% damage increase
 * Level 2 - 40% damage increase

Overdrive
