WildStar Tanking Engineer: Best In Slot Pre Raid Gear Guide

by on Sep 23, 2014

Overview

Engineers are one of WildStar’s most powerful classes. Surprisingly you’ll actually find very few Engineer Tanks because their damage output is so high when they pursue the DPS path. However, they do make brilliant tanks and certainly in a Raid environment, they’re highly sought after. I’d recommend you aim for around 1700 Support Power to be comfortable during early Raids.
