It is well known that engineers do not get their equipped pistol/rifle/shield bonuses applied to their kit weapons.
So rather than just rant about having these bonuses carry over. How about ArenaNet makes a few new Main Hand equippable items that have their bonuses carry over, but operate as impromptu weapons in their own right.
These are just ideas, so don’t get all uptight about them if you don’t agree. Haters gonna hate, after all.
Chem Tank (2H Weapon)
A heavy chemical storage tank, used to carry a variety of liquids for kits, such as the Elixir gun and Flamethrower. Its heavy weight makes it a useful impromptu weapon.

Chem Cloud – Open the tank vent, and create a cloud of vapor that poisons to all nearby targets. Remember to hold your breath first! (Range: 200, PBAoE, DoT, Poison)
