    , and his turrets will also gain Hungering Gaze. This increases Engineer's damage output as well as his turrets', making it an all-around excellent choice.
  • Because Hungering Gaze has a cooldown, attack speed items are reduced in effectiveness. Bonus attack speed does increase the rate at which the 12 bullets are fired, but will not modify the cooldown at all, resulting in a lower expected increase in damage output.
