Since Each class can be molded into numerous builds, we’ve picked the two best builds from each class.8. Engineer (Defensive build)

The main attacks for this build are Seismic Slam and Onslaught, while the Healing Bot regenerates mana and health. The Defensive Engineer’s gear should improve resistance or increase health and defenses.Stats
