True thing smollet but when u get 1-2 shots unlucky on ur squid u really want that buff to not instadie just because bid of unluck. And a Squid doesnt need much to loose its armor.

A buffed Gatling does 127 DPS. You're buying yourself an extra half-second on armour uptime in exchange for several seconds of buffing that could be better alotted to different components. It's not really worth it.

HamsterIV:
Most captains will assume an engineer carries a Spanner, Mallet, Extinguisher/Chem Spray. It is best to live up to your captain's expectations lest you find yourself being yelled at on a ship with no fire extinguisher or poor ability to rebuild. It is ultimately the captain's duty to make sure the crew is equipped for the strategies he/she wants to use. Many captains are negligent in this duty and a good engineer should be prepared to make up for their captain's short comings.

Alistair MacBain:
Thats a point Sunderland but its not like ur infight for the whole time. U can prepare the buff when out of fight where u have much time left and the engines already buffed and guns prebuffed. Than u can mostly still prepare a buff on the hull to start.

True thing hamster but with bid of communication in the lobby you still can bring sth ur captain doesnt expected before.

Sure, but it should be a lower priority than other components. And on some maps, you don't get very much time to prepare before engaging.
