Guild Wars 2

While travelling around, I came across the “Sniper Rifle” in Plains of Ashford at the Cadern Forest near the Watchcrag Tower Waypoint. It has incredible power, and even better range. I would like to suggest that this droppable Sniper Rifle be available say as an Elite Skill. It would not be an auto weapon like the Rocket Launcher/Rifle/Flame Thrower, but one that must be utilized by the Engineer or someone in his party. It would be similar to dropping a Mortar tube, except would have more uses. This would be an ideal Elite weapon skill for Boss Fights, where the your group would be spending a good amount of time at, and would make the Engineer a good choice for dungeons where heavy DPS is needed.

Thoughts/Suggestions?

As an engineer, I support this suggestion.
Though, when one skill is added; every profession should have the same treatment, especially when it comes to an elite skill.

How about a Rail Gun instead?

Heavy-shell electric-charged shot!

• High speed projectile – Never misses
• AoE damage path
• Can be shot from ledges
• 1500 range
• High damage
• Adds a ton of vulnerability and bleed stacks

Rail gun? You mean something that could rip a hole the size of an airship in an Elder Dragon? Sure I could see people running around using one on bandits…

It’s not like the Engineer class only got two weapon types to use at the ground, oh wait…
