"Engineers are the class for you if you want to be a mechanical mastermind that can
act as solid artillery or a stalwart tank on the battlefield that is Nexus."
Engineers are a potent heavy armor ranged class. They build volatility as their resource for their spender abilities. There's a sweet spot that one would strive to maintain, it's between 30 and 70 out of 100 max volatility, this is called "In The Zone" or ITZ for short. Many of the engineer amps, and abilities give bonuses while ITZ.
While in either stance, there's an ability refered to as an "innate" which helps in either extra survival for tanking, or for extra damage for situations that need bursty damage. While this innate is active, it grants 10 volatility per second for 10 seconds, and unlocks ITZ benefits towards abilities for the full duration.
Engineers, like other tank classes, have stances which give them benefits for either tanking or damage dealing. Engineers as a damage dealer have great sustained damage, mobile, and strong in both AoE and single target situations. The class may have it's Bots but they are far more prevalent when DPSing as compared to tanking.
