For those who don’t know it’s the engineer tool kit skill 2.

Why is it so useless? It’s got a low cooldown but it literally doesn’t do anything.

Suggestions on making it less underwhelming:

> Make it like the thief scatter-nail thing – leaving a field on the floor around you that slows / bleeds people for 5 seconds.

> Make it apply 5 stacks of bleed.

> Make it a blast finisher.

You can proc blinds with it for example if you’re flipping camps in WvW.

It does leave a field that cripples people when they stand in it.
It gets rid of blinds
It also procs any on hit/on crit procs, for e.g. bunker down.

IMO it’s one of the best skills engineer has.

While we’re at it lets make it blast the nails into everyone in a 3000 radius, putting 50 stacks of bleeding and a d/c.

it is one of the most important skills of engi. Now i play quite often without toolkit but it is the skill i miss most. Pull, pry bar and block are great, ok , but i can play without them and substitute them with something else ( elixir S from alchemy trait with hgh + elixir S for example ,let you have an elixir S every 24 secnonds , or the shield ( i don’t like it) .
Pull is fun but not always simple to land, prybar is good but there are other skills that make damages. Box of nails is really handy against thieves and in melee fight becouse it let you retake distance from your enemy every 10 second .It is really really strong in my opinion
