Guild Wars 2

I believe that the engineer should be able to have a Sniper Kit available to him. The engineer must be wielding a rifle.

I feel that another kit should be added because lets face it, three weapons (pistol, rifle, and shield) seems too bland. The way ArenaNet counteracted this was by introducing the weapon kits. The flamethrower, grenade, bomb, etc.

I feel a sniper kit would increase damage for the engineer when using a rifle and it would help promote rifle builds.

I am leaving this post up for ideas that would help implement the 1-5 skill abilities.

That being said, post what skills you feel the Sniper Kit would bring to the Engineer class!

The Thief is better suited to get a rifle that would functiona as a sniper. It’d be based off power, but it would behave like a condition weapon: long wind up in setting up might, vulnerability, fury, and then using big damage attacks that deplete initiative.

I get that you’re disappointed in how un-rifle-like the engineer’s rifle is, but that’s just the thing. The engineer’s gadget-y rifle is appropriate to the class. A sniper rifle is not. It makes zero sense for the engineer, and I don’t know why people keep bringing it up. Suggesting that a kit should require a specific weapon only makes it worse. No class in the game has a utility skill that requires a specific weapon, and you’re suggesting giving it to the class that already, as you pointed out, has problems with weapon options?

Just… no.

Agree with Weirwynn. Nothing about a sniper rifle says “inventor” or “gadget” to me. When I hear sniper rifle I think assasins, trained snipers, etc. Not mad scientist who has an unhealthy interest in explosives, laboratories full of beakers of elixir and inventor who is crazy enough to pack his backpack full of flamethrower fuel. or someone who would put a net in his shotgun and a glue shot in his pistol.
