It doesn’t matter if they have kits to make up for lack of weapons, being restricted to only 3 weapons is just boring, and I’ve made up my mind that until engineer gets more than just 3 weapons I will not be playing. there are so many things engi could have as weapons, and yet they only have pistol shield and rifle, of which only 1 weapon set is actually viable (pistol/shield) while the others are lacking in either power or utility.
I suggest Mace for an additional mainhand option. Fitting, since it’s somewhat similar to a hammer used for a tool (by the way ANet, new skin idea too!)
Having a melee main weapon would be nice, indeed. As now, any projectile reflection makes most of our main weapon skills useless.
A mace would make sense.
Also, using The Moot and Quip together would be quite fun.
Right now Engi feels like the worst PVE class in the game. They’re great in PVP…but in PVE it just feels like it doesn’t pull it’s weight. All the things an engi can do, I’d rather bring an Ele for.
Here’s Engineer sword. It would probably fit better as a mace, and the only thing that would need changes would be the text that mentions “sword” or "blade.
They’ve expressed that they’d like to add new weapon options to all the professions, potentially making all weapons usable by all professions (I recall a specific mention of hammer on engineer), but I’d rather they focus on tidying up the current skills around rather than adding a boat load of new stuff that’ll have to be worked into the already complex sea of what’s out there.
