Groups for the Global Challenge Kiev
|
|||||
|
Naniwa, Zenio, MMA and HerO hail from Korea.
Next week the Global Challenge Kiev will start and it is time to announce the groups for the StarCraft II tournament. Korea will be represented by TeamLiquid members Zenio and HerO, former Code S Winner MMA and Swedish pro Naniwa who is currently living in Seoul.
American qxc will replace DDE who had to cancel his participation. The case of Norwegian participant TargA is quite unique: He is currently living in Australia and participated in the South-East Asian qualifier for Kiev. Since no Chinese player was able to come, despite all efforts, and because Chinese New Year takes place during the event, DieStar from Poland will fill that last spot since he was next in line from the European qualifier.

Swtor: Engineering Builds
Posted by admin on January 8th, 2012
Engineering Leveling Build (to 35)
0/26/0
Rationale: I prefer talents that improve “primary” Engineering abilities and increase energy efficiency. Taking Energy Tanks first makes a big difference at lower levels when you may want to use Overload Shot (energy intensive) to pad your damage out of cover. Gearhead is a talent that gets better and better as you level. I skip Engineer’s Tool Belt because I don’t like to lean on the inefficient and relatively light-hitting Fragmentation Grenade for my damage. I find the value in this talent comes largely from the reduced CD on Flash Bang. Explosive Engineering is a necessary talent to improve Explosive Probe, another of the spec’s key abilities.
I avoid Vital Regulators and Calculated Pursuit. Although the regulators make a good talent, I don’t find the health regeneration predictable enough not to bring medpacks with me. I also tend to play Engineering with a Marksmanship slant toward using cover, so it’s hard for me to justify taking any talent that would allow me to use Snipe out of cover (unlikely, given my preferred playstyle).
I also choose to split acquiring Energy Overrides because, although it is an important talent, Augmented Shields has excellent talent synergy with EMP Discharge. The more often you take advantage of the pair, the better.
This build should allow you to perform well in both PvE and PvP while you level. For example, I have found the unique slow from the Inventive Interrogation Techniques talent to be a more valuable addition to the build than the other available options at that level.
Swtor: Engineering Basics
Posted by admin on January 8th, 2012
Engineering
Summary: I consider Engineering to be the most durable and cooldown-dependent Sniper spec. Read more for details.Engineering Basics
Damage: Contrary to popular belief, Engineering is still a single-target damage spec. The most significant AoE abilities are Orbital Strike and Plasma Probe. Although Engineering damage is comparable to Marksmanship’s output, you’ll be waiting more often on significant cooldowns. As a result, I consider Engineering to be more of a “bursty” spec than Marksmanship.
Energy Usage: High to moderate at all levels. Engineering uses resources in chunks. Its saving grace is that the most demanding abilities are also on longer cooldowns.
Mobility: Moderate with a moderate dependence on cover. Engineering is more mobile than Marksmanship and less mobile than Lethality. Some of its key abilities can be used out of cover.
Survivability: Low-to-moderate at low levels, high (for a DPS spec) in the lategame. This is actually one of the most compelling reasons to spec Engineering. Combine the spec’s native defensive talents with a few buffs from Marksmanship, and you’ll be able to consistently survive being focused by either PvP opponents or a particularly persistent raid boss.
Utility: High, even for Sniper. Engineering gets some of the best defensive and situational control / zone denial abilities of any Sniper spec. They can also talent a cooldown reduction to Ballistic Shield (a high-level talent with significant PvP and endgame PvE applications).
Rotation and Cooldown Management: Moderate at low levels to frequent micromanaging at endgame. Engineering does not have a stable rotation. Its energy pool is among the most variable and dependent on cooldown usage. You’ll do fine if you use offensive abilities whenever they’re available, but your performance will improve as you learn to choose your targets.
Conclusion: Engineering has high survivability and unique ways to counter focus fire. I prefer it for “burst” single-target DPS and in Warzones where zone denial is important. Although it uses many tech abilities and a few of them have AoE effects, you should still be trying to focus one target at a time in most situations.
In PvP you excel at punishing melee characters and supporting your team and guarding capture points, though you may find energy management unintuitive at first. In PvE, you are good at preventing damage to yourself and your teammates. You may find yourself waiting on cooldowns more often than you’d like. Engineering has a more “deliberate” combat pace.
The rewards are high survivability and utility potential, as well as the ability to act as a fearsome 1v1 killer less vulnerable to focus fire than any other Sniper spec.
