Deployment: (To LV 3 while Whacking)
Sentry
Jag: 19.49s
Wrench: 19.58s
0.09s Difference (0.5% faster)
Gunslinger: 2.56s
it literally makes no difference
Time to build level 1: 5.5 s
Time to build level 1 with Jag: 4.75 s
13.67% increase
which is significant
i would like to reiterate that you should never ever melee as an engineer
It is part of the meta to use the rescue ranger + wrangler combo as an engineer in highlander. The rescue ranger is a bad weapon to kill spies and you often have to use your melee to kill the spy. A jag only does 45 damage, compared to other wrenches which does 65 damage. So, you have to hit a spy three times with the jag to kill the spy and only two times with other wrenches.
The small increase in construction rate does not make much of a difference at all. It is useless during set-up times and you shouldn't be moving your buildings often as an engineer during a game. Whereas, the southern hospitality allows the engineer to counter spies by being able to track spies, which has a much more impact on the engineer's play style than the jag would do.
