See stickies on sentry = walk away or charge the demo and if you just put 5 stickies out on my sentry you are a candidate for a shotgunning to the face
That does still leave the sentry dead, which is rather the point.

Well, I like to err on the side of caution, even if the side of caution happens to be somewhat irrational.

Yeah, but the issue is the longer you take laying them, the more likely the engineer will notice, and either flee or start shooting them. If the engy is preoccupied I can usually get 2 at their feet before they notice. They usually realise they're there right as the third one lands, by which time it's too late >:D

No-one who knows how to play demo will be foolish enough to use 5 stickies on an un-wrangled sentry.

A veteran will go pop-pop-pop-boom.

A pro player... if any of you every play in Australia, and run up against a demo named "Hisnameisrobertpaulsen" (sometimes just paulsen, image is a blank red square), you will see what that class can do (and you should probably stack). That guy is insane, I've seen him do crap like a double sticky jump, and while flying through the air, shoot off two stickies at a sentry. Because of his velocity, they land at the same time, he fires off a third, and blows a nest about 1 second after the first one landed. Then he switched to pipes, and cleared the rest of the enemy team in 2 shots with a random crits. It was beautiful... shame he was the opposition :'(

I sometimes play Engineer as long-range battery support, quickly deploy a lvl 2 sentry and use my wrangler to help assist my team's main assault wave, then pack up and move on once the area's clear. Takes a bit of work, but can be pretty useful.

I hate Wrangler's so much. Very powerful when used correctly :/

I highland as engi in comp in Australia, Paulsen is ok.   Guys like Gaff and sheep though...... cry....  Frankly against almost anyone from div 1 or 2 you are going to have to expect to just die alot. oh and...

And the engi just builds another one right away, demo>sentry for team (unless that demo is crap)

Yes, the engi can build another. But sometimes you are just too distracted trying to keep your sentry in one piece that when you notice the bombs, you'll explode with them. And even if you escape, a scout can quickly kill the now-sentryless you.

I almost always play engie; unless there are too many, then I go Pyro and guard the nests.

As an engie, I build defensive placements, then go out and smack people in the face with my wrench.

Don't tell anyone that you can see their shadows. If they hear you telling anyone, if you let them know that you know of them, they will get you.

I don't mind engineers as long as they aren't camping their goddamn nests.
Outside of the sentry, the Engineer is pretty easy to handle.

I normally play soldier. I use the most annoying strategy's out of them all. Either rocket jumping and shooting from high above, or rocketing off walls right next to someone and blasting them in the face. Gunboats are awesome. Medic/heavies make me cry though.

I love medic/heavy combo's. Just sniping the medic as the heavy runs into the open thinking he'll be fine is hilarious.

Which is why they camp their nests? It's hard to play an active Engi well. Sentries are fairly simple to take down if the Engineer isn't camping it.

 I am digging playing Soldier with the gunboats. Rocketjumping everywhere forever. Some maps shine a lot more at this than others. Generally scout playgrounds becomes amazing places to confuse the heck out of anybody you face.

Croc-o-style sniper standing on a dispenser guarded by a sentry and a pyro. Close, medium, and far threats trumped. Soldiers launching rockets? Helmet removal. Ubered heavy nearby? Airblast. Pyro sneaking up? Sentry. Even spies and sticky demos can be handled by the pyro.
