Guild Wars 2

The engineer lacks a gadget elite skill
hopefully some devs will add one that will make gadget skills more viable and fun

What should it be?

Then all other classes needs another elite.

EMP, aoe 3s daze uhh

also need to rework gadget heal, that sux
ram, mine and googles

ah and traits are not great at all :P

Some ideas:

• Vengeful Gears: Invoke gears to circle around you, damaging foes and reducing incoming damage by 50% from yourself and nearby allies. Duration 8s. Cooldown 60s.
• Throw Gear: Throw a gear at foe that explodes each time it pierces dealing heavy damage and knocking down foes. Range 1200. Unblockable. Cooldown 30s.
• Mech Suit: Transform into mech suit gaining access to powerful gadgets. Cooldown 60s. Like the one from Haywire Punch-o-Matic Battle adventure

EMP sounds good, it would be game changing just like every elite should be.
Obviously not 3s daze though lol

Gravity Jam: The Engineer activates a Gadget that surrounds him/her with a field of altered mass, switching between anti-gravity and hyper-gravity for several seconds.

It is a AOE that first floats enemies around for a second, interrupting them, and then forcefully lands them, doing damage and aplying slow. The field of effect moves with the engie and applies each time a foe enters the area. High CD, of course.

Jetpack: The engineer turns it on, it charges up, and the engineer rapidly flies toward a target for an unblockable albeit very telegraphed attack, leaving burning flames behind him.
If the target gets hit, he gets damaged and launched forward; the engineer itself is self-launched and suffers a bit of recoil damage too.
If it misses, the engineer flies ahead and then tumbles forward, somehow evading attacks in its erratic movement.

Yes please !! also gadget traitline ! lel

Would love something more complete, a new specialization based on healing and with main hand complimenting well with shield for a bunky healing role: medic!
I have always loved the medical kit but it’s soo useless… Maybe with a healing spec we can make him shine.

I like the EMP pulse idea, so I’m takin it and makin it my own.

EMP
Emite a huge pulse that disables enemies healing skills.
Radius 360
Time Disabled 5 seconds
Number of targets 5

Nah we shouldn’t aim high for an elite skill otherwise we gon scare anet away, it has to be something little yet game changing maybe like :

EMP
1/4s cast time
260 radius
1 sec stun
max CD 90 min CD 45

EDIT
if stun is too strong
EMP
instant cast
260 radius
2 sec daze
max CD 90 min CD 45

Space-Time Device

Toss the Space-Time device at the target location (1/2 cast, range 600). Device lasts for 60 seconds at the target location.

Flips over into ‘Open Wormhole’, (1/2 cast, 60s CD) Warping the Engineer to the specified location, and resisting debilitating conditions on the Engineer for 10 seconds.

I like it. Won’t need a Mesmer to port into keeps on my own now!

I mean, we only lack the gadget genre for our elite skills, we have everything else

Robo Legs: Increase speed by 500% for 10 seconds. 40s CD.
Toolbelt: Pulse super speed to nearby allies for 10 seconds. 30s CD.
