Guild Wars 2

Engineers currently have the least weapons of any class – they only carry a rifle, pistol, off-hand pistol, and shield. Few weapons fit them thematically that aren’t covered by their kits. They also lack a non-kit melee option.

My answer – Hammer. The Hammer works with everything the Engineer is – a profession about building and tinkering. What is a Hammer but a big tool that can coincidentally be used to horribly maim and murder things, after all?

Engineers would use Hammers for crowd control and utility (such as repairing allies armor to heal them or provide protection), relying on their turrets or kits to fill in the damage gaps. With a Hammer and an Elixir build, the Engineer becomes a support powerhouse.

that would be awesome!

Anet may be against this as we already have a tool kit to be used for melee, but I believe engineers need hammer as well since tool kit isn’t really a “Control Weapon”.

I hope it’d work like Guardian hammer mixed with Tool Kit for #1 and #2 at least.

1 – Bam!(1/2s, 5s vulnerability) -> Blatt!(1/2s, 5s vulnerability) -> Splat! (1s, 5s weakness). The Hammer auto attack. Pound your enemies with a combo of hammer attacks. Works like Tool Kit auto attack at most.

2 – Hammer Time!(5s CD, 1s Cast Time, Blast Finisher) -> Smash your Hammer to the ground causing AoE damage. Works like Guardian Hammer #2.

3 – Fix! (15s CD, 5s Cast Time, 240 AoE) -> Heal yourself and your allies in pulses for 5s. Removes a condition in every pulse.

4 – Hammer Overload! (18s CD, 2s Cast Time, 180 AoE, Lightning Field) -> Overload your hammer with electricity causing it to do an AoE knock back on your surrounding. User gets knocked down.

5 – Hammer Boomerang! (15s CD, 1 1/2 s cast time) -> Throw your hammer like a boomerang. Targets it hits will be dazed for 2s.

Well.

As a Warrior, I could teach you to use Hammers. If you in return teach me how to use Pistols!
