1 - INTRODUCTION
I just learned that the force field absorbs damage before any block can be made, so shields are not very effective for force field users. Also, Kardfogu says that STR increases the damage of emberquake more than FOCUS because of the critical damage increased by STR. The only problem will be the lack of mana, so with this build you'll need a lot of mana potions. Taking these facts in consideration, I made a new build for engineers.
2 - SKILLS:

BLITZ
Seismic Slam 15
Onslaught 5
Emberquake 15
Heavy Lifting 15
Supercharge 15
Coup de Grace 5
CONSTRUCTION
Healing Bot 15
Fire and Spark 15
Charge Domination 1
AEGIS
Forcefield 15
Immobilization Copter 15
Charge Reconstitution 1
3 - LEVELING:
As soon as possible, take the skill point from flame hammer and put it at Healing Bot.
Priorities to spend skill points:
1 - getting the first level of any skill
2 - getting the level 5 of active skills
3 - getting level 15 of healing bot and forcefield
4 - for the fourth priority, spend points as you wish
You'll have a hard time until you get your first level of emberquake. Until then, try to play in groups at the internet.
Do NOT spare health and mana potions and always have a stock of them.
When at new game +, you'll really need to farm 10 riechliu and 9 limoany before going to new game ++. Research the metods to farm the phase beast challenge "avoid the lava" for riechliu and "protect the crystals" for limoany.
4 - ROTATION:
1 - When entering a new area, cast healing bot and immobilization copter
2 - Forcefield if the shield is down.
3 - Onslaught to aproach enemies
4 - Seismic Slam after onslaught
5 - Emberquake after seismic slam until you have 25% or less mana
6 - Auto-attack for 5 seconds, then return to 2
5 - HOTKEYS:
I like to put the healing bot and immobilization copter at the bar and at the right click I rotate between skills using the hotkeys F1 (forcefield), F2 (onslaught), F3 (seismic slam) and F4 (emberquake). The left click is only for auto-attack, movimentation and picking up itens.
6 - STATS:
Put points at the ratio 4:1 at STR:DEX till DEX get 53. After that put all your stats points in STR.
7 - ITEM BUILD AND ENCHANTING:
Use a greataxe, or a greathammer, or a polearm or a greatsword as weapon.
When enchanting your itens at end game, you'll need to enchant your mondon's trinckets with a total +200 VIT to be able to use some Outcore set itens. When you have all BIS itens, search for Boris the stout and enchant two trinckets with at least +100 VIT each.
Then enchant each of your other itens with 3 enchantments of +STR until you get 1000 total STR. If there's any enchantment slot left, use it for +DEX until you get 300 total DEX and for +FOCUS until you get 1000 total FOCUS.
Then enchant your weapon with Mooritz of the Desert with 3 enchantmens of +fire damage (NOT fire damage per second).
After that search for Karzoki the All-Powerful and give each of your itens the fourth enchantment. You'll need at least 7 to 10 million gold to get all enchantments you need.
8 - SPELLS:
Armor Expertise VI
Adrenaline Rush III
Weapon Expertise VI
Concentration VI
9 - PET SPELLS:
Heal All VI
Summon Nether Imp V
Summon Skeleton VI
Summon Zombies VI
10 - HINTS:
1 - Keep any VENDOR BOON SCROLL to use it only when you have a lot of money (at least 700000 gold) and at an area level 100 or more (like Tarroch's Tomb at new game +). Then you may have the chance to buy many best-in-slot itens.
2 - Use a town portal at the beginning of each dungeon before adventuring in it.
3 - Don't be surprised if you die a lot of times. It's ELITE difficulty.
If you're dying to much on a boss, grind before facing him again. Explore all the map, do other dungeons, so you can gain some levels and find some items. If it was not enough, re-roll your map starting a lan or internet game with this option active, and grind some more.
11 - BEST-IN-SLOT ITENS:
Weapon: Netherrealm Greathammer or Netherrealm Greatsword
Armor and trinckets:
Outcore Helmet
Outcore Armor
Outcore Belt or Mondon's Belt
Outcore Gloves
Outcore Pants
Outcore Boots or Mondon's Stompers
Mondon's Insignia
2x Mondon's Ring
12 - BEST SOCKETS:
Weapon sockets:
5x Vellinque Skull
Armor/Trincket sockets:
adding extra sockets to itens with less than 2 sockets, we'll have 20 armor sockets.
Engineers have a natural 25% damage reduction, the BIS itens gives more 4%. So we'll need 9 skulls of limoany to reach 74% DR, almost the maximun alowed.
Use 10 skulls of Riechliu and 9 skulls of limoany and the rest fill with wfuntir
