{{Intro}}

The '''Engineer''' is the [[Hunter (Hellgate)|Hunter]] class focusing on constructing and upgrading devices such as sentry droids.

The Engineer uses the following skill groups: ''Tactical'', ''Combat'', ''Grenade'', ''Precision Strike'', ''Bots'', and ''Drones''. Skills in ''italics'' below are shared with the [[Marksman]]. Numbers in parentheses are the number of skill points required in a skill's required skill. The numbers in the leftmost column are the level requirements.
