Guild Wars 2

I find the dredge being the upmost idea for a real engineer – dirty, hunched backed inglorious basterds they are.
One of the dredge signature weapons is their sound wave gun. A gun specializing in confusion and stunning their victims, leaving them deaf, disorientated and crippled.

The Dredge Oscillator –
Lore/Fluff : basically a reversed engineered dredge sound wave gun.
Purpose : control/debuff/damage.

Skills:

Tool belt – Heavy Bass – Fire a super dense ,slow moving, sound wave in a straight line , having some width to it. Destroys projectiles it connects with and who ever it hits gets knocked back for 250-300 game tiles. (or get a 2 stacks of vunrability) CD : 30 seconds.

With kit refiment – The next 2 attcks get a confusion stack added to them, a short lived one. (15-20 sec CD).

1. Sound pop – A high note is released. Dealing damage to a single target at medium range ( like ~600). ( should have a trait that makes it detonate on the target, like pistol 1, while adding 20 % cooldown reduction to the kit, crit or gadgets 30 ).

2. Resonance – Create a resonating frequency. Release a short ranged un- targetable attck that inficts the first close ranged enemy target dealing damage. It then jumps to the nearest enemy dealing reduced damage as it bounces.

3. Screech – a surprise release of high frequency sound leaves the targets in a close ranged, cone area dazed for up 2 seconds. (just like the dredge ability). The engineer is forced to channel the sound for those 2 seconds, or dodge roll away and interrupt it short.

4. Sound Wave – Fire a continues stream of sound at the target ( functions some what like Elementalist scepter’s Arc lightning).

Causes the signature engineer vulnerability ( rattling of their armor) on each tick while also applying cripple. Shouldn’t do that much damage by it self. More of a team thing. Short ranged and the engineer is stationary while channeling it.

5. Sonic assault – A quick and sharp sound wave designed to cripple and confuse the nervous system. Adds several stacks of confusion, while dealing decent damage. High cooldown ( like 25 -30 ).

Other types of attcks to consider:

Sonic boom – Let out a faster then sound wave that knocks everyone in AoE around the engineer down. Should be like a number 5 skill if it’s a medium AoE and number 3 if it’s a small AoE.

Thank you. I’d like posting it in the suggestion board if it gets good reviews.

I’ll just say this – as cool as it all seems, new skills and traits likely won’t be implemented until an expansion is released. At that point we’ll likely see 1-2 new traits for every tier, 1-2 new skills of every type (gadget, kit, turret, etc), and I’d like to think new weapons (either new skills for each weapon that you can choose a la GW1, or.. I dunno). The only trait added since launch was Glacial Heart, and that’s because guardian didn’t have 12 traits in that line.

Yeah might be. I hope that wont be the case, and they do add new skills/traits as they go along.

Assign the most annoying sounds in the game to this kit (Quip, fire elemental bugged wing flapping, Trachearne dialogue, etc) and then proceed to shutting up and taking my money.

Bump, just to give this another chance.

Keep in mind alot of these animations/ idea are already in the game.

Heh, great idea. Although “Sensual Assault” sounds a bit creepy. Wouldn’t wanna see a charr attempt a sensual assault. May I suggest “Sonic Assault?”

Ofcourse!
The names,numbers and ideas may vary but not having a dredge sound gun? Really?
It’s already in game and it’s such a good idea.
