Yes yes we got the ’’melee’’ kit, but I think it would be more fun if we could actually wield maces and hammers! There is even a mace made to look like a spanner, and the aether blade hammer just screams engineer.

But further I believe it would make a more interesting play for engineers, since we mostly have to use ranged weapons or use a kit.
I’d understand that the kits is the unique way of the engineer, but really a we should be able to wield some sort of close-combat weapon. Not just be forced to use a kit.
1# would be an auto hit ability which on the third strike, would slam down on the ground making an explosion of sorts.
2# Would be where the engineer holds the hammer high, charging it with three stacks of some buff.
3# Some engineer shield for protection, could be made from this.
4# The engineer slams the handle into the face of their foe.
5# The engineer slams the hammer down, shocking a small area dealing damage for like 3 seconds.

So give me your thoughts and if you like it, enough we might get it ?

I look forward to the support or criticism.

I totally agree! Some maces and hammers just scream “engineer” (by the way, a lot of aetherblade weapons suits engineer)

The thing with engineer is that we have no one handed main weapon specialized in direct damage. In a damage build, if you want to get a shield for some defensive options, you have to stick with the pistol. New weapons for every classes could improve build diversity!

And a mace/pistol engineer would look cool. Maybe TOO cool!

Yeah, I got that as a drop. It was a cool looking skin that I had no use for. So I sold it.

Oh, how much I would love walking around with the fixer upper, instead of equiping the tool kit and looking like a weirdo ready to bash anybody.

Those two maces are also cool:

(I already have them on my mace warrior, in fact)

Double mace for engineer and I’m all yours, ArenaNet.

Oh definitely. In no way was my post a plea to stop. I just want to pass on the information for those who don’t yet know
