Guild Wars 2

I believe that Engineers need melee options and with the whole steampunk thing going on with Charrs and the techno-magic with Asuras an explosive driven hammer would fit perfectly with the rest of Engineer traits and work brilliantly into builds. I would love to see a kit that does direct and explosive damage.

1. Three part auto-attack
Smithing Smash- Sideways hammer swing
Smithing Bash- Sideways hammer swing
Exploding Crash- Downward hammer swing that causes a small AoE explosion. (Blast Finisher)

2. Rocket Hammer(10s)- Jets from the base of the hammer propel you to your target causing damage to target on landing.

3. Hammer Cannon(15s)- Fire the hammer head, it flies towards target and knocks down intended target. Do extra 2% damage for each boon on the target.
Fire In The Hole!(20s)- Explode the hammer head mid air, causing AoE Explosive damage.

4. Bomb Shelter(25s)- Block all incoming projectiles, next melee attack ends the block and reflects the damage.

5. Drop Mine(30s)- Drop a giant mine on your target stunning it.
Mine Check(40s)- Smash the mine with the hammer causing giant explosive damage and knocking them back. (Blowout) (Blast Finisher)

Toolbelt Skill:
After Burners(40s)- Turn the hammer around and fire your propulsion jet, launching yourself away from your target.

Traits:
-Forceful Explosives: Increase the radius of the explosive effects of the hammer.
-Short Fuse: Reduces recharge of hammer attacks.
-Explosive Powder- Increase damage from the explosive effects of hammer.
-Power Wrench should be changed to Power Tools, reducing the cooldown on all melee kits and adding a cripple to their first auto-attack and toolbelt skills
-Scope needs to be changed to do greater damage/increase critical chance in melee kits.

This would make the kit versatile and capable of working with other explosive based kits/skills.

This sounds like it would be so much fun to play. I can just see my little asura engi doing the smash/bash/crash now XD

I support hammers, but for KITTEN sake no more kits, if we get hammer it should be a primary weapon. Being locked into melee isn’t an issue because you could just pick up a ranged kit, instead of the other way around.

Yep. Please no more kits.
