Sounds as if it would be too cheap, especially in sPvP and WvW. And the engineer would be able to get into more places his/her jump shot can’t them to.
The self use effect is the same as an elementalists lightning flash.
The toolbelt skill would be great for saving friendly’s. A great idea. Although, open to trolling.
You’ve completely neglected to include any justification as to why you think this ability deserves to be added over any other choice. Simply choosing an existing game effect and applying a name/description to it is not a particularly persuasive suggestion.

why not?
the game is clearly designed to be modular in adding utility skills. A new race will give every class new utility skills, collectors edition gave new utility skills. Unlimited skill points for utility skills.
You are arguing that new skills need to have a specific function. This is incorrect from the games design. new skills can be flavor, fun, etc.
engineers have limited mobility options. now this can be an argument for or against. Is it an oversight, and such we should have a better option, or was it intentional, and thus giving us one, would be too strong.
tbh i think the engineer utility skills are to… limited to a certain goal… this teleport would be awesome.. 60 seconds is perfect for an 1000 range teleport since its only an utility so it doesnt need to be as good as the mesmer blink or anything.
I love this idea, and I would GLADLY trade Rocket Boots for this utility. It’s a gap opener and a gap closer all in one. Simply an amazingly simple idea, yet so helpful in many different ways.
When I’m getting stunned by a Warrior on Khlyo, I don’t want Rocket Boots to launch me 2 feet back because I’m fighting in the corridors. Honestly, there’s a reason I always have Lightning Flash/Shadowstep/Blink on my alts.
If it’s a Gadget utility, how much would you say is a good base damage by the way? Since the only non-damage Gadget is Slick Shoes, damage along with the effect seems like the pattern. I would give it the same damage as the Launch Personal Battering Ram on Teleporter to enemies around the selected area up to 120 radius(Blast Finisher please since it would be replacing Rocker Boots), and the <Insert Toolbelt Skill Name> around the same damage of a Surprise Shot.
Sounds like a decent idea.
The toolbelt skill would be used to troll people so i don’t know about that. Although i would love to screw botters over by teleporting them away from their camping area.
Sounds basically like blink or lightning flash but with an option to pull the enemy to you. The blink part definitely isn’t OP…but the pull may be, just because it makes the skill better than blink or lightning flash.
Where is this Mesmer portal comparison thing coming from? People do know you cannot use any targeted abilities on allies. As in, the Tool Belt teleporter would only be a long ranged pull.
In fact, correct me if I’m wrong, but there are zero abilities in the game that need a targeted ally to work? As in, you select your target use the ability, and it would only work on him? I know that Guardian has something like teleport to an ally to heal them, I’m just asking if:
If they select Ally A, but Ally B has lower health; which Ally will he teleport to to heal? I’m guessing B.
Edit:

It’s only better than both because how our Class Mechanic works. It’s the same reason why Engineer’s get a version of the Racial skills on their toolbelt.
