Engineers...Why do we loose our stats to kits?
Lose*
Oh man. That was hard.

Last thing i heard was that this is a bug they wanted to fix.
That was still in the beta however …
This confuses me, I strive to get a better shield and pistol with better stats, but I loose the stats anyways when I switch to my kit.
What was the thought process behind this? Is ArenaNet aware of this and have any thoughts on fixing this?
The mechanics is that when you switch to a kit, your weapon set is replaced. (Your character graphic reflects this) Therefore, you don’t get the bonuses from them.
I don’t agree with this mechanic, but it’s the way it works.

Though we don’t get stats from the weapons, Weapon Kits seem to output a lot more damage than the rifle/pistols.
