Guild Wars 2

Current Kits (flamethrower, bomb, grenade, etc) and their uses remain the same except that their appearances have optional changes.

What i am thinking is have the Flamethrower have the same abilities and attacks except change the look of the weapon and attack animation to that of a Gatling gun. For example Flame Jet wouldn’t look like a burst of fire but instead a barrage of bullets (doing the same damage, hitting the same number of targets). The other abilities will require creativity.

Hopefully this does not sound far fetched because to my eyes this has already been played around with before in GW2.

I think it would be awesome if Engineers got an actual Gatling Gun Kit with unique abilities but it is unlikely that professions will be getting new weapons anytime soon and when that happens i think its still a long shot to wait for this kit in particular.

Tera is an mmo where classes are bound to one particular weapon type (Slayers to great swords, Lancers to…lance and shield, etc) only. Interestingly enough they implement weapon skins to give a new look to what otherwise might get boring to look at. Berserkers only wield Great Axes but you can purchase a skin that makes it look like a two handed mace(a very cool one i might add). Lancers can obtain the skin of a Sword and Shield if they want that more classic look. They are not new weapons or classes so there is no need to go through the balancing dance.

Therefore i suggest new (optional) skins for Engi Kits and for other weapons used by other professions as well. Its not as dramatic as implementing actual new weapons but could impress us players just as much if the visuals are gorgeous.
