I’ve said it before I’ll say it again…

Power Gloves

Electro Punch (Discharge based melee) – Rocket Punch (gap closer) – Thunder Clap (AoE daze) – Thumbs Up! (buff) – Ground n’ Pound (AoE burn/cripple)

Okay, this post is actually a little bit tongue in cheek and possibly more of a response to other weapon/kit set ideas floating around. I’ve been away for a while and I was hoping to see some big changes for the Engy but I’m a bit disappointed. Anyway if they want to throw this in as a Melee Set then fine by me

I really wouldn’t mind seeing my Asura with a huge set of electrified gauntlets flipping around the field of battle pounding a zerg into pulp but maybe that is just me.

Gets two thumbs up from me! Would love to see the balance devs doing some work for actually making this class more fun, not less.

Hehe, well it isn’t for everyone I suppose. At any rate it was more about the options presented by a melee zone weapon. Mines, bombs, turrets, etc localize your combat zone and the notion of a complementary melee kit/weapon is enticing to me. Further, an engineer specific weapon also has appeal.

Edit- my bad for missing the reference. Carry on ;P

Got the reference.

In fact, got the reference, the popcorn, and the time to watch it again. Will proceed to doing so now.

I think it would be Falken punch.

Firstly I’d like so say there should be changes to the Power Wrench kit to make it more viable as a melee set. Such as a faster activation time to the #1 skill chain, a daze added to the effect of crowbar with a stun effect if hitting from the side or behind, and a shortened if not removed activation time on Box of Nails.

That being out of the way, Power Gloves sounds like a great kit and it should replace the current “Mine” utility which has been notoriously underwhelming since launch. The tool belt skill of mine kit could be reskinned for a Power Gloves kit, and be an array of floating electrical orbs that look like smaller versions of the air elemental skin, and have the exact same functional mechanic as the current mine tool belt skill.

In short, a great concept I would love to see in the game.

Hmm, how about a compromise?

Perhaps we can use them to control the Asura “Summon Power Suit” and finally make it useful. The golem goes into battle and grabs an opponent, it opens up its chest and shoves the stunned player inside the suit, then you direct it to fight his/her friends as a puppet controlled via glove.

Maybe you just make them walk off a cliff.
