It seems to me that Engineers, specifically kit-wielding engineers, are excluded from the cool factor of having an epic weapon. I run with a flame-thrower 75% of the time, and med kit 15% of the time. Of that other 10%, about 2% is shield/pistol.

With the back slot hidden by your kit backpack, and your weapon hidden by you kit main-hand, there really is no point in buying an epic weapon unless you are an elixir build with rifle.

What would be truly lovely is if your epic weapon affected the look of your kits. Epic flamethrower, epic Elixir Gun. Bombs that make a mushroom cloud. Ha ha. Someone suggested golden grenades, lol. I dunno. Just something to make us feel less excluded when we do battle with an 1800 gold item in our inventory, other than running around Lions arch in slow mode with your flame rifle, shiny shield, or jester pistol.

Well if you keep it in line with the theme of some legendaries, the grenades could blow up showering the enemy with rainbows, flowers, and cute Asuran babies!

The predator does affect the grenade kit actually. It makes the grenades turn into fireballs… although I think it only does that with grenade barrage and not the other skills.

You say that as if the team working on cosmetics would affect the bug squashing team in the slightest.

I am somewhat close to getting Flameseeker Prophecies, I would definitely appreciate this! Making all my kits have a pulsing glowy effect like the pages on the shield and that would be awesome.

Chapeau…. a team of two splits fairly good in half for one guy cosmetics and one bugs.
So, we can expect cosmetics as well as bug fixes, yay.

…You don’t want artists in charge of your bug fixing. Trust me. Many many awful things can happen.
