I really want an elite Melee kit
I really want an elite two hander Melee weapon kit. I would love for something like that. A saw sword, or light saber or something that’s two hander and does decent damage.
I never got into the wrench because of it being a lame looking 1 hander and lame animations to go with it. I would like something more cool on the eyes. An elite Melee two hander kit would rock! Hoping for that in the next skill pack coming.
or just the hammer and mace that was promised bout 1 and a half year ago.. that would prolly do the trick too id say
promised? what?
head here to discuss wvw without fear of infractions
I wouldn’t say they promised it, but they did state that they were working very hard [anti-filter filler] on getting all weapons to be available for all classes; I believe this was mentioned as something they wanted to get done before the end of 2013.
something that would be very ‘engineery’ would be power gloves. One giant gauntlet hand and the other a claw.
Shoot the claw, grab someone and pull them to you. Gauntlet hand has a jet attached so you leap backward then fly forward hitting the opponent really hard. Would be fun.
Unless we received multiple options for elite kits, I would much much prefer a ranged kit. The only real ranged kit we have is grenades. I would like something like the charzooka.
For the record OP, there is absolutely nothing lame about beating enemies with a pipe wrench and a crow bar, as well as throwing a Cresent wrench like a boomerang. That my friend, is the epitome of cool.

I don’t see how melee weapons aside from tools could fit the engineer motif. Inventors don’t really fight hand to hand normally unless you’re Ironman. We have a potion transformation, but it’s very short term. Maybe if they played with that I could see engineers brawling.
Anet said they are working to give more weapons to all the classes! This was like a year and a half ago! Fingers crossed for 2018 release!
Wahoo! Bye frands!
If only dual moot engy…
how about aetherized iron fists?
“Mentoring engineers / mesmers and showing you what you can do with your fantastic class!
Just pm me for my advice! Always eager to help!”
Why not a drill? :^)
yep!! a drill!!
if you use it on someone then the next morning at 5a.m. his neighbors start drilling their common wall
Personally I just wish they would make the mortar more viable.
Or remake it into a mini gun.
Yea that melee smashing feeling is somethig what engi really missing. When I completing maps with my guardian I like killing trash mobs because swinging and hitting with that big sword is so satysfying you know. With engi nothing have that instant response that hard hitting sound and mobs are really annoying to kill because fuse delays ect.
Melee weapon is something what I really want. Maces and Hammers will fit perfectly imo.
Tekkit’s Workshop
I think a nail gun would be really cool. AA applies cripple, and does relatively high damage. Have a skill with some sort of rapid fire mechanism, and another skil that immobilizes, and it would be pretty sweet. Throw in a trait that allows for bleed on all nail skills, and boom, a bersatile set that provides range (say 1000) and an option between direct and Condi damage (if specced for it).
I just want a hammer or a mace and I’ll start playing my engine. I tried the wrench and bombs, but they suck as far as melee weapons go. Bombs are too delayed. Wrench/gear shield is barely melee given all the conditions on it.
I just assumed, when I found out there was an engineer class, they’d have access to hammers and/or maces. Just seemed natural.
