Idea ENGINEER REWORK

Alright, shower-ideas, don't fail me now.

GOAL: Make engineer more combat oriented, while reducing its reliance on auto-targeting turrets and B******t regeneration V. Give players the ability and a reason to participate in PVP combat.

ITEMS:
-Iron Helmet
-Iron Chestplate
-Leather Leggings
-Iron Boots

Engineer Pickaxe (Diamond Pickaxe) Sharpness I, Efficiency I
Wooden Sword (Turret Manual Override)
4 Steak
Dispenser (Turret)
Regenerator (Cake)
Entry Teleporter (Stone Pressure plate)
Exit Teleporter (Iron Pressure plate)
Flag Compass
20 Iron
Nether star (Class Selector)


Engineer Pickaxe
The main melee weapon of the Engineer, used to beat people's heads in, and quickly destroy buildings.
Added Efficiency I (Gives Engineer the ability to quickly destroy their own and enemy structures, faster than any other class, useful for combating other engineers.)
Removed Knockback I (Reduces annoyance)

Turret Manual Override
The first real major change. In the interest in making this more useful in normal gameplay, arrows with the TMO will deal 10 (5 hearts) of damage to unarmored players. (Aka what the turret does currently, but we’ll get to that) and can be fired as fast as you can click, but will disable auto-firing for the turret when held.
Also used to block against assassins.

Engineer Steak x4
Healing items. Nuff' said.

Turret Costs 10 Iron Ingots to Build
The Primary change of this rework. Right clicking will place the turret, Shift right clicking while the turret is currently placed will destroy the turret. 3 Iron will be restored
-Turret spawns with 8 health (instead of its original 20)
-Can be damaged by Melee attacks, Archer arrows, Damage spells, Pure Element Arrows, Pyro Arrows, and either the dispenser or fence being destroyed.
-Turret arrows will deal 7 damage (3.5 hearts) per shot.
-Turret takes 3 seconds to build
-Right clicking the turret with at least 2 Iron ingots in inventory will restore 4 health to the turret per click, consuming the 2 iron ingots in the process.
-Turret No longer targets invisible ninjas, but can still hit them if they are in the way of the targeted player.
-Turret No longer loses health upon firing.

Regenerator Costs 6 Iron Ingots to build
Right clicking will place the regenerator, Shift right clicking while the regenerator is currently placed will destroy the regenerator. 2 Iron will be restored.
-Charges at same rate as before
-All players (not just the engineer) consume 1 slice of the cake
-Cannot use if at full health/items, or if you already have a regeneration effect on you.
-Applies regeneration IV (0:05) if the player has been in combat within the last 10 seconds.
-Applies regeneration IV (0.05) and restores all items a medic would normally be able to restore if the player has not been in combat within the last 10 seconds.
-Cannot restore Iron Ingots

Entry & Exit Teleporters Costs 2 Iron Ingots to build each
Right clicking will place the teleporter, Shift right clicking while the teleporter is currently placed will destroy the teleporter. 1 Iron will be restored.
-Basically the same as before, except it costs iron.

Iron Ingots x20
You can only spawn one of each building at a time
The fundamentals that tie this rework together. Iron is used to build and repair buildings.
Ways to Acquire Iron Ingots:
-Killing Players with a melee attack, fall damage, etc will award 10 Iron Ingots
-Killing Players with a Turret will award 2 Iron ingots
-Destroying Enemy buildings
-Turret: 5 Iron ingots
-Regenerator: 3 Iron ingots
-Teleporter: 1 Iron ingots
-Mob Beacon: 3 Iron ingots
-Cannot be regenerated from regenerators or medics.
-1 Iron ingot will regenerate every 20 seconds
-A Maximum of 20 Iron Ingots can be attained

What do you think? You like it? Don't? Share your thoughts! I'm more than willing to make changes if it will help make a better engineer for tomorrow, hey maybe one day it will be competitively viable and Not broken as hell. Since removing Engineer is out of the question.

No their still limited to one each, was just trying to give a reason for engineer to have to do something other than camp. Similar to how the engineer works in TF2.

 

I should make this more clear, no you can only make 1 of each structure. You can’t make 2 turrets, or 3 cakes, or 10 exit teleporters, etc.

You already start out with enough iron to place every structure, you just need to get more after that. Plus the idea was to give the engineer more armor to be able to survive without having to camp by a regenerator 24/7

Alright, I agree that it is a bit complex. I was thinking if CTF is going in the way of elf, a pretty complicated class, then engineer should be able to get the same treatment for the sake of balance. But if the mods decree they want it to be simple, thats fine by me.

As for the regeneration, the regenerator will still heal the engineer if its in combat, just slower than if they weren’t out of combat, +like I said above, I gave the engi more armor to offset its reliance on the regenerator.

The Nether star problem I have absolutely no solution for, its the same issue that chemist has, maybe something like how chemist has it set up?

I’ve heard so many people b***h about invis ninjas being shot by turrets that I figured it would be nice to have. Could remove if that would fix some issues.

Thanks for the like on the pickaxe/TMO though, and thanks for taking the time to look at this.
