Long overdue,
I meant to post this some time ago, but anyways here it is:
Silverado's Little DD Guide
This guide contains information on how to maximize the damage potential of our lovely engineer profession
Many people underestimate the damage potential us engineers have, but having 3 sources of steady damage can turn out to be quite deadly actually.
I'll split this guide in 3 parts:
-Robots
-Engineers at mid levels
-Engineers at higher levels
Robots:
The most important things to consider here are called "trimmers"
Trimmer - Divert Energy to Offense (temporary, has to be refreshed every 5mins)
Trimmer - Positive Aggressive-Defensive (permanent)
Both these trimmers improve the damage done by your robots, and they can be rolled as mission reward or bought in shops
There is also the Aggression Trimmer that makes our robots taunt. QL200 Trimmer Casings can be purchased at the yutto vendors in Penumbra (permanent)
Once your robots are nice and trimmed, you will also want to buff them with damage enhancing nanos
Engineer pet damage boost buffs:
These can be bought in shops
Assist Combat Array
Monitor Combat Array
Enhance Combat Array
Boost Combat Array
Overdrive Combat Array
Assist Aggression Subsystem
These are dyna boss loot only
Monitor Aggression Subsystem
Enhance Aggression Subsystem
Boost Aggression Subsystem
Overdrive Aggression Subsystem
Omni-Pol Pacification Logic System
Engineer Pet Snare Auras:
Intrusive Aura of Entanglement can be bought in basic shop
Intrusive Aura of Binding
Intrusive Aura of Malaise can be purchased in Adonis Garden
Intrusive Aura of Sloth
Intrusive Aura of the Humble Servant
The rest are dyna loot only
And then there's our special nano:
Shield of the Obedient Servant which drops off the Obediency Enforcer in EFP, spawned by PH (Obediency Inspector, 15min respawn time)
Those nanoprograms may only be executed on your robots, but you can also use the ones that benefit the engineer himself on them
Weapon Enhancement general nano
Entropy Weapon rollable as mission reward
And then there's also our own damage auras which benefit our robots
Sympathetic Arms Enhancement
Sympathetic Entropy Infusion
As a small bonus, you may also use
Martial Arts Expertise
Composite Attribute Boost
For an additional +23 extra AR
