This is a submission to WoodenPotatoes's Adventurer Elite Specialization contest.

The Engineer has upgraded. A tool belt wasn't enough, he crashes into battle with his mech suit ready to destroy his enemies with a slew of ever-changing suit abilities. To combat the corruption of the elder dragons, a mechaneer can take on masses of enemies and manipulate their positions - all while continuously transforming his mech suit for every situation. The only limit to his capabilities is in his creativity. The mechaneer skills and traits often encourage using different types of slot skills in efforts to gain access to more mech suit skills as well as to abuse cross-form combos to make the most out of every ability. Uniquely, this elite specialization takes advantage of motion, either running into enemies for explosive effect or manipulating enemy's position. This specialization really plays towards the concept of changing unique profession abilities while still having synergy towards the core specialization abilities.
