    I created a SM right after it got released but I didn't play much with it.I'm only lvl 23 with bad stats and items so I was wondering:What are the real advantages of this class that make it unique and stronger?I guess the turrets and guns but that's not really helping.Some strategyes would be nice to mention as well especially in pvp so we could all benefit from them and things to improve.I'm going to talk about every skill the dwarfs have and what I think are the advantages and you share your opinion ;)
    So the advantages are these:Turrets.Real advantage of dwarfs is to construct turrets to help ypu both in dealing damage and supporting you.They are very "slippery" and fast and can exhaust players easly with turrets.Their talents often support other talents to become beter like(Oil and Jet Pack cost steam and theres a talent that increases steam capacity...).They have a transform skills which is nice,but they also have very low armor and health.
    Would be nice to improve damage on Quick Shot.SW has fireballs,RA has precision shot,DK has smash and they all earn it on lvl 2 while dwarf doesn't have skills like that so Quick Shot is you damage way to go with turrets until you get heavy shot.Maybe 70% of your base dmg or at leasr 65% would be nice.Heavy shot is so slow.In pvp it's very hard to hit it and stun rate is only 25% but if it is faster it would become OP.I like the cooldoown and no steam cost but a slightly higher speed would be nice.Jet pack skill is so slow.When compared to other classes it doesn't even seem like an escape skill.Needs higher speed.The C14 micro rocket is also slow.As you can see most of the skills are slow and in order to hit someone in pvp you need to stand very close but it's ok I guess but could get a slightly higher speed.I don't have other skills but I heard complains about the Tactical Turret being too slow.Other than that the class is very unique and good but what are it's true advantages,disadvantages,strategyes and things that could be better.How is this class good if you're a F2P?Thank you for your time and good luck.

    The class isn't good... It is way to weak in every area, it lacks stuns, and the torrents are useless, it is the slowest class because of all its animations, it barely deals any damage at all.

    SM is the class that affected the most by pvp 35lvl talent Liberation IMO.Killer in low honor level PVP but pretty weak when opponent have Liberatio(offend-wise).
    A continous damage dealer with little control skill, not really good

    Agree, my problem isn't with other classes, my problem is S.M is to weak to dish out damages to kill the other classes x-D.

    If you think about it, nearly all its skills are useless in some way when it comes to moving targets, nearly all the skills have slow animation, or if they land, it is to weak, in PvE this class is awesome though.

    They are also awesome in 6v6. A strong dwarf in the red team can end the game by itself. i have seen dwarves destroying the two main towers with Shrapnel shot even before any other tower being destroyed. Plus they are also good for defending against bombs because of their mechanical turret.

    Yeah, they're useful in 6v6 too. But that pvp concept is just bugged so I have only done 6v6 a few times with my dwarf.

    Maybe the blue team should have the capability to rebuild defenses in 6v6...
