The Engineer

Defensive Builder

Background:
This amiable, soft-spoken good ol' boy from tiny Bee Cave, Texas loves barbecues, guns, and higher education. Natural curiosity, ten years as a roughneck in the west Texas oilfields, and eleven hard science PhDs have trained him to design, build and repair a variety of deadly contraptions.
Description:
The Engineer is a really diverse hero, with many talents that can change how you use his abilities. His reliance on Metal instead of Mana might be his best trait at first, but it can be depleted really quick and make you and your constructs vulnerable, building a Dispenser will help you a bit, but it only lasts for a short 6 second duration so it should be used only at the correct time, or when you are low on metal and want to also heal your allies in the process. The Engineer in the right hands can be a force to be dealt with, if they have great knowledge of when and how to use their constructs, abilities and metal with no problem.
