Rename the Engineer
A Tyrian engineer does.
The Engineer in FF6 did weirder things, like jumping all over the enemies with a chainsaw, or confusing the with a huge loudspeaker.
Quoting the wikipedia:
“An engineer is a professional practitioner of engineering, concerned with applying scientific knowledge, mathematics and ingenuity to develop solutions for technical, social and economic problems. Engineers design materials, structures and systems while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, safety and cost. The word engineer is derived from the Latin roots ingeniare (”to contrive, devise") and ingenium (“cleverness”)."
So “Engineer” fits the name.
The point of the engineer is that he’s the one that made all those gizmos, machines, devices, items and apparatuses. And instead selling them or giving them to others, he gets all the fun.
Although, it’ll be nice if Engineers were able to give kits with a limited number of uses to other players, much like elementalists give conjured weapons.
I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Engineer fits perfectly.
I’m an engineer and I spend most of my time doing those things exactly.
“We have no first-person view because stupid people would lock into it”
“You can’t have more than 10 HS decks because that would confuse people”
“30 fps is more cinematic”
“You can’t have more than 10 HS decks because that would confuse people”
“30 fps is more cinematic”
Let me get this straight: you are asking arenanet to completely rename the engineer, redo the advertisements, redo the official website’s engineer description without providing an alternative?
You just wasted everyone’s time by making this pointless thread that isn’t at all a suggestion
I direct you to the British Army:

Combat engineers specialities include the use of demolitions and mines and the production and distribution of drinkable water.
GW2 Engineers sound like a fantasy version of the real ones to me.
