Noticing that all of the subclasses for engineers seem to be encouraged to sit in their bases, a mobile version would be a nice change. Building bases it understandably something the engineer is known for, but it just doesn't give exciting game play(I'm sure this is not just my opinion). so the idea is a more combat oriented engineer. The main parts of this engineer would be shields, and keeping him on the battlefield. Some ideas for the combat engineer might include:

- being able to buy more levels of shield regeneration
- no vehicles
- no turret
- no blocks? or low amounts of blocks
- only able to have lightning sentinel and defense sentinels(example: 2 defense sentinels, 1 defense sentinel 1 lightning sentinel)??
- has a link fire speed like the pre-nerfed engineer link(this would be a must for this subclass)/maybe even an extended link alt fire
- lower or completely nullify the extra damage given to them by linkers?
- an additional or replacement shield blast that has a smaller range and goes off faster, to be more tactical with the shield blasts
- shield sphere?

It would almost boil down to a shield medic but unlike the medic it sacrifices the godlike tank for the damage output of the link gun.

differences with combat engineer skills might include:

Armor Regeneration* 0
Armor Vampire* 0
Construction Health Bonus* 1-7?
Shield Healing 1-4 (smaller radius, faster set-off shield blast and the shield sphere? also xp to 4%?)
Shield Regeneration 1-17?

construction health has -3 levels shield healing has +1 level shield regeneration has +2 levels

instead of 7.5 shield per second after 3 seconds of not taking any damage it is 8.5 shield per second

(sorry if some things are off, I made some last minute changes)

I for one like this idea and want to return to playing engineer like I used to, with Berserk on Titan wave getting most points.

That is what I enjoyed most about engineer is setting up a lightning sent, turning on berserk, and killing everything.

This subclass also offers an alternative healing method.
