Why people keep suggesting more AIs!?

Don’t get me wrong, Regon, I think your spec idea is interesting and could be really fun. But we know Anet can’t deal properly with minions and AIs, and engie already have two skill lines of AIs, one of them almost completely useless, and the other very debatable.

This is just my personal preference. I love minions. Even those in GW2.

0/10 we have more than enough minion crap on engi already

Other than the AI issues people already mentioned, what I can see working well is a golem pet much like how Rangers have their pet. You can have utilities that installs mods which work almost exactly like you suggested for a period of time. What I would like more is the staff having skills that buff, enhance or improve your golem pet and maybe nearby allies so it can function as a good support build as well. Like for example, why not make those charges you mentioned explode when the golem executes it’s basic attack against a target with them instead?

Minion necro is amazing in dungeons/fractals.
Maybe give them golems retaliation so they can be useful in wvw and pvp as well.

no A.I. anymore after that… gyro stuff. A banner mechanic would be nice though or how about a “buff field well” mechanic cause that would fit perfectly with blast finishers, a mechanic with a sort of shroud like the necro and now also druid got would be cool too, or how about they raid horriks armory and give the engi some heavy duty bazooka… or other kits that work more like summons of the ele with some sort of ammo count or a darn mech suit mechanic (think asura elite skills) so there is a bit of a.i in it but doesnt mess up everything. Basically ANYTHING but unrelyable a.i. You saw what they did to anything a.i the engi got, the turrets are nerfed so far down they are now in australia and the drones can barely keep up with the scrapper and i wouldnt even trust them with tilting a bucket of water over….but with the engi luck we might aswell get a.i. that attacks the engi if summoned… hey.. its not that far off

A couple months ago I also suggested an elite spec that was called Golemancer It’s a cool name. I as many others don’t want more AI. It’s unreliable, often stupid, has pathing issues… no, just no.

I’d rather have an engi that would be able to summon golem suit that would function as necro’s death shroud. If anybody’s interested, here’s my suggestion: http://realmoflevi.blogspot.sk/2016/04/golemancer-engineer-elite-specialization.html

I am the 1% who supports you! XD

But in all seriousness as much as I we would like this, why not go for the most realistic solution?

Make the gyros permanent minions? Copy paste necros, summon them and follow you until they die

Yes! I have been waiting for another AI based spec!

i may not like all of the e-specs you’ve designed but i’m really glad you keep thinking them up. I think this time around though, engineer would need a brand new weapon type (as in doesn’t exist yet) for their design philosophy and current kit to make sense. unless the next spec is some sort of tech-knight or something. that would be fuuuuun.
