Notes:
I am particularly shite at ecsu so this can be done a lot cleaner and pushed a bit more. Theres also quite a big problem in the 5th forge section where you dont have enough skills to delay for the 2nd corona and I ended up overheating in something like 90% of pulls. To stop that I was super aggressive leaving the previous forge section to not cap heat but ended up missing the 5 blades for the sw2 at 1:22. You can do 1 or 2 autoattacks after that sw2 to give some breathing room but I found to get higher numbers u just need to pray you dont overheat. Theres probably a better way but I just wanted a 44k.

Disclaimer:
As with any engi mine build its subject to availability to precast minefield and throw mine. Realistically if you cant do that then grenades instead of mines will be favourable but if you can get away with it then the burst is real nice. You also lose most of your ranged capability taking mine so for the majority of encounters you should run grenades.

[@Cross_111]

So you would use grenade kit when you do the mines? And which skills when?
Thx ❤

[@blackalphadragon96]

power holo back :O?!

[@derppizza145]

Thanks for the bench beng! a question though, is it better to corona and quit immediately even if you'll end up with less than 150heat now? I'd guess you did it so you can throw out out of forge skill earlier?

[@benglemon]

in general no, forge autos are pretty good but I ran into overheating problems and this was the way i solved the issue. I think it could be done better.

[@TheSithHugo]

It’s holo time again baby
Heat wizard is back!

[@Nightcrawl7]

any overload variant viable?

[@Adam_Gw2]

Overload would be ok for fast phasing bosses. But for the most part, this would be your go to. The cons of overload has always been that you'd be locked out of your kit far longer than you would running ECSU. I really recommend learning the rhythm of ECSU as it's more forgiving than PBM once you get it.

[@beronexus]

Would rifle put out almost the same damage output?

[@benglemon]

no, rifle is big doodoo

[@beronexus]

@@benglemon bahahaha you're right I gave up in like 5mins

[@Dragkaia]

is aim assisted rocket that much worse?

[@benglemon]

no theyre very similar, im still not completely sure which is better in the long run

[@BABYSTARZ]

would u ever make a video/guide about keybinds?

[@benglemon]

my keybinds arent great, not sure a guide would be helpful since most people have different setups.
