Guild Wars 2

I run with flamethrower all the time. If I go underwater and back I get reverted to rifle. If I automatically drink elixir that shrinks me to avoid death, I get reverted to rifle when I unshrink. If I change map, I get reverted back to rifle.

This is truly annoying.

A fix would be greatly appreciated.

God forbid you actually need to play the game.

I know, right! Trying to play the actual game and getting this annoying behavior instead.

Having the certainty that when I come out of “Self-Regulating Defenses” i’ll have my main weapon equiped is actually pretty sweet, that way I know which buttons to press when I come out of it (eg. >dodge>toolkit>block). I think it’s easy to miss which kit you were in when the trait proc’ed.

Exactly. Plus: even if you still want your previous kit back it has no CD. You are one button press away from restoring the former situation.
@OP: I know it’s annoying at times, but it’s part of playing the engineer. Be happy that they aren’t conjured weapons with 30s+ CD.

Make it a gameplay setting.

Something like “[x] Automatically equip last engineer kit that you used but didn’t explicitly unequip.”

Please fix those 100 things that are more broken with engie first?

It’s not a bug. It’s the way the game treats kits. Kits are bundles, like conjured weapons, banners, or environmental weapons. Our weapon “swap” functions as a drop bundle
