I like engineer because the job consists all kind of kits that transform an engineer into all type of class. Bomb kit is one of the interesting kit that allows engineer perform 360 degree close range combat, if you had played Elementalist DD (Dagger-Dagger) build, you would know the advantage of 360 degree close range combat with the "Lighting Whip" in Air Attunement, where the player has no worries about targeting his opponent and direction, player can simply running around hurting the opponent while greatly increase the chances of evading opponent attack. The Engineer Bomb is much like it but instead of one skill, it has various type of nasty 360 degree conditions, healing and dps.


Pros
- Tank - Good armor, small auto health regeneration, small AOE healing. 
- Good 360 degree close range combat + various type of mines spamming. 
- Able to handle itself in a 1 vs 1 and best for messy group fight because of the AOE dps+healing
- has 2 aoe skills that knockback and launch group of opponents.


Cons
- Bad against necromancer that spam marks and conditions in a 1 vs 1 fight.
- Bad for chasing fleeing opponent.



How to play this build
This is best for messy group fight and even 1 against multiple opponent in a point defend. Jump right into group of enemies and start spamming everything available, from all 5 bomb skills, tool belts bombs and mines. Running around opponent in small circle with random direction to reduce the chances your opponent could face and hit you.

Sometimes there are situations where bomb kit is not the best option (as you can see in the second video above), using a rifle would be better than nothing until the bombing time come.

The utilities skills of this build are:
6) Elixir H - for healing.
7) Rocket Boots - great for getting out of bad situation such as immobilized or surrounded by too many enemies. The tool belt skill "Rocket Kick" that come with it has a decent dps, should always cast it as soon as opponent get into melee range.
8) Throw Mine - Great for throwing into group of enemies knocking back and interrupting them. The tool belt skill "Mine Field" spam 5 little mines around player that deal decent damage.
9) Bomb Kit - the tool belt skill "Big Ol' Bomb" is one of my favorite skill of this build, it deal decent aoe damage, launch foes and make a loud bang.
0) Supply Crate - best for saving yourself during emergency. Usually use it for defending or occupying enemy point.
