... Advanced Martial Arts increases damage. And Metal Detector's always useful, of course. Personally, I've always been kind of disappointed with the Gadgeteer combat skills. Well, at least since Stun Gas got nerfed back in Alpha. Still, looking at the skills, Stun Gas can reduce to-hit and offense, ...

12 of my 13 retcons were Gadgeteer, mostly Maso so I relied on the Gadgeteer skills. I put all my skill points into the 2 passives and Improved Tinkering, and used Stun Gas only for the Mick. With other bosses or tough enemies it wasn't ...

I don't know if it's due to ignorance of mechanics or laziness, but I tend to approach all four classes in the exact same way. The only real variance is when I'm a naturalist, which means some of the time I'll stun my opponent until tame works. Otherwise I stick with spells, pumping skill points int...

Not on a regular basis.

Sometimes if I'm feeling panicked I use Stun Gas to hopefully... stun the opponent, giving myself a brief respite. But I'm not sure if that's good judgement or not.

I was wondering how people approach the Gadgeteer class, and if they actually utilize the Gadgeteer's combat abilities. Every time I try to work Stun-Gas into my repertoire I always feel that I'd be much better off hitting my for, than trying ...

Yeah, and then I can link it to here.

My character is a woman, and I would visualise her default class as gadgeteer . . . that's all I got.

I've only been there during one run at level 15. As a level 15 Gadgeteer, w/ Umbra's but no items of the month, I found it very difficult, but not impossible. WIth good luck and planning, I probably could have continued to adventure there, but this was ...

I'm pretty sure PP is right and the gadgeteer runs away better. I remember getting a message about pulling out a grappling hook type device (in the Batman "where does he get those wonderful toys" vein) and running away by pressing ...

I stuck with the accidental psion run... it was harsh, compared with gadgeteer. Finished it, now level 6 gadgeteer.

... to retcon just reset the retcon form somehow, so by the 3rd attempt I was getting frustrated and failed to set my class! I've always been a gadgeteer since I started and now suddenly I'm an unwilling psion maso. The reasons why that's a big deal are explained here:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av1JPq0Qmy4

Once I do enough runs to get the skills that look the most useful i'm going ranged gadgeteer all the way. :-p This baby will help considerably. P.S.

I blame my run taking 3 days instead of two on me being a Gadgeteer.

Playing a gadgeteer with a ranged weapon.. THAT'S UNPOSSIBLE!

They said it couldn't be done! A gadgeteer? At level 6? Beat the Troutmaster without using TNT or some other cheater item?

... as are buffs. Something like Proper Hydration (+PP) benefits every class. More PP for spell classes allows big damage from powerful spells.

Im going natty first run, because I dont see myself perming many natty skills at first, and I want to get starfish regeneration and their quadrant, then I will proceed with several gadgeteer and psion runs (all maso of course).

Might as well bump this, considering we DID get retcon 8) I was looking again at what to perm, and noticed that Gadgeteers have some sweet passives from the higher levels..Battle Armor and Sniper, mainly. Maxxed out, Battle Armor gives +30 + 11*level defense, which would help ...

Indeed they are. Upgrade Weapons is no slouch either.

Meditation is actually quite low on my list.

For me...

Elementalist: Hydration(can always use some PP regeneration)
Gadgeteer: Sniper or Battle Armor(passives are awesome)
