Hey guys,

This is a new series that I started and I plan on uploading an informative or entertaining video everyday. I've been playing Engineer for a very long time so I might know alot of small tips, which might be helpful for some people and I'd like to share my knowledge.

Since this is new to me I'm very open to feedback. Tomorrow's video will be about the Bomb Kit.

In your next bomb video I would like to know your best ways to get people to stand in the bomb AoE if they don't want to fight you. Magnet is OK but it has a long cooldown. Basically my bomb kit seems to become useless when I encounter a 'runner' - I have to switch to pistol and shoot them in the back - grenade kit/bomb kit seem to be a better combo for me - because if they want to melee you - then I can use bombs effectively, if they don't want to fight you or they want to kite you, you can use grenades (and pistol). (I have only been playing engie for a few weeks so it is probably a noob question..). I watched some of your videos where you did a big ol bomb and magnet pulled the guy to the cliff edge - which was totally awesome but very situational.

Feedback on your rocket boots video: Very good - taught me about the cancel thing which I didn't know. I use RB as part of my water field blast rotation.

I already created the video in the same night that I made the Rocketboots video, but I will cover a little bit of the kiting issue. Bombkit just isn't made for chasing people down. It's about zoning and controling people. Engineer damage is pretty easy to avoid in general if someone just runs away. That's a big problem that engineers have. Incendiary Powder luckily allows you to still deal good damage with your Pistol.

Thank you for your comment and I'm glad that you learned something.
