The Engineer doesn’t have an alternate weapon set, so the switch button does nothing. Quite right too! We’ve only 3 weapons on land, so what would be the point? However, what is annoying the hell out of me at the moment is constantly being reset back to my “weapons”.
Dear Anet, I spend most of my time on my kits. As an Engineer, they are my alternate weapon set. So why is it that when I go through a portal, go through a gate, into water, change state (e.g. into a disguise, cow, whatever), get downed, anything, absolutely anything, that is out of the ordinary… I’m suddenly back on my pistols?
Even the Elementalist, the only other class that doesn’t have AWS, manages to remember its attunements through changed states. But not the Engineer. I’m already aware that we’re broken. That, funnily enough, doesn’t bother me in the least. I’m quite happily massacring stuff regardless. But the number of times I’ve wondered why I’m not damaging something behind me, because you’ve switched me off of my bomb kit… have hit something that was out of aggro range because bad targetting that picks something at range instead of what’s in front of me + changing me out of the weapons skills I thought I was on = disaster…
You get the idea. It’s not a game killer for the Engineer, but why am I on the only class that can’t remember the last thing I had in my hands? When you’re fixing our other supposed faults, please ensure I’m still using what I thought I last was. Every other class does, and it’s very off-putting!
