Guild Wars 2

Made a norn engineer today. I’m going for grenade kit build all out. 1 thing that annoys me a bit is that every time you teleport or something it switches out of the kit, and you have to switch back again.

This is not a heartbreaking thing, but is there any chance that you, arenanet, can do so it stays in the kit you want?

anyone else second this?

Thanks.

i hate that with my flamer. i wish i could assign it a token, or click a button to make it my default weapon, then make my pistol my “kit” weapon.

so when i jump out of the water for instance, it puts my flamer on automatically, then press a button to get my pistol out when i need it.

The only time I use kits are when im under water with grenades.
While im farming for crafting scales I notice after a while I’ll just switch off the grenades. I think kits have a duration that isnt listed. feels like maybe 5 or 10min or so. I havent timed it.

Yeah, it’s pretty annoying when every cutscene/zone transition/whatever switches off your kit (and potentially dangerous if that cutscene leads straight into a fight).

On that topic, have anyone else noticed kits just randomly switching off lately? I swear it didn’t used to do this, but lately it has, occasionally. Like you’re just running along a road and suddenly, bam, your grenade kit switches off.

Anyone notice that?

You do realise that engineer’s main class mechanic is that kits, unlike weapon swaps, have no cooldown. Engineers are meant to swap kits at a moments notice to access their full repertoire of abilities.

You should be very well practiced at switching kits on the fly, if you find it “difficult” or “annoying” to switch to the desired kit after entering a new zone I’m wondering if you’re playing properly :/

I like how the response to a mechanical inconvenience is “you must be playing wrong.” Good grief.
