Guild Wars 2

I’ll be blunt, i find the design of predator cool but also very thoughtless to Engineers. Warriors aim down sights and crouch+aim down sights when they shoot, a scoped rifle makes sense for them.
They have a baseline 1200range, and inflict pain from a distance with carefully aimed shots. With their adrenaline-move being a carefully aimed, long range, single hardhitting shot.

Engineers, shoot their rifle from the hip, and dont ever aim down sights. A scoped weapon doesnt make sense. It just looks silly and immersion breaking to run around with a fine long-range precision weapon and use it like a shotgun without even aiming.
Thats what Engineer use their Rifle for. Or even more silly, with Jump shot i can see no possible scenario where the long barrel wouldnt clip all over the place with the ground.

Its aestethic design is tailored specifically for only 1 profession. Sucks for Engineer seeing as theyve already got a very very limited assortment of Legendaries and hardly see them due to kits.

There are legendary pistols… not to mention that would mean based on what you just said they would have to design 3-4 specific legendary engineer kits… as if you made a legendary flamethrower my grenade tossing engineer would say waaaaah why no legendary grenade kits… (not really just making a point).

Go look at the charzooka that might fit your engineer rifle desires.

I dont know what kind of mental jumps you made to get to the conclusion that i want Legendary kits for Engineer.

Predator is a Legendary rifle that is designed to look awesome for Warriors and stupid on Engineers.
Why i dont understand because the Engineer has the least available legendaries of all professions to begin with.
