Guild Wars 2

Since there are a lot of threads out there, where people wish for new kits / accessible weapons, we should combine them under one roof.

my 2 cents: The tesla kit (since the name is a lore-breaker, it’s optional)

Skill one / Autohit: rail-shot
a magnetic accelerated bomb that explodes at impact (npc / pc or structure or obfuscation)
cd: 1/2 sec
range 1200 (traitable to 1500 with Rifled Barrels)
radius 150
combo-finsher projectile: 20%

skill two: static bolts
5 static charges get shot in a channeled attack. Each projectile bounces off to up to 4 random targets in a 400 range
cd: 8 sec (traitable with Fireforged Trigger)
channeling-time: 1.5 sec
range 1200
applies 4 sec blindness on each hit
combo-finsher projectile: 100%

skill 3: Polarized ground
polarizes the ground in front of the player (90° cone) and deals minor damage to up to 5 targets.
cd: 10 sec (traitable with Fireforged Trigger)
channeling time: 1 sec
ticks every 0.2 sec
range: 600
applies 1 sec cripple for each hitting tick
has a 20% chance to apply immobilize for 4 sec

[A]skill 4: tesla-field
puts down a static field under the player which behaves like any other static field
cd: 14 sec(traitable with Fireforged Trigger)
duration: 4 sec
radius: 150
combo-field: air
[B]skill 4: tesla-blast
Discharges the tesla-field to explode, deal damage and kickback targets nearby
radius: 300
Combo-finisher: Blast
applies 7 sec stability on up to 5 allies

Skill 5: Static-Mine
Drops a hidden static-mine that damages and reveals targets in range
cd: 30 sec (traitable with Fireforged Trigger)
duration: 5min
trigger-radius: 240
radius: 240 (traitable with Forceful Explosives)
effect: if triggered damages a target, applies 5 stacks confusion and interrupts stealth. an once hit target can’t receive stealth for the next 10 sec

Belt-skill: static shock
stuns for 2 sec and interrupts stealth
range: 0
radius: 300
cd: 40sec

I intentionally left out the amount of dmg dealt, since that is open for balancing reasons. my second thoughts behind this is to break thieves monopol on deciding how a fight goes (even tough they tend to take stupid decisions^^) and giving the engineer more usability / cc for zerg-diving.
Dependng on how the actual damage will turn out, this could be a nice addition to PvE as well

Portal Gun

1: 3-shot chain that causes weakness on shot 1, vulnerability on shot 2, and slightly higher damage on shot 3.
2: Open a portal above your target’s head, which drops a piece of interdimensional debris on them.
3: Create a mini blackhole that sucks your target thru it and ejects them a short distance away and gives 3x confusion.
4: Fire a portal at the ground, portalling out a piece of the earth and causing any enemy inside the area to be damaged & knocked down. (blast finisher)
5: Create a portal at your location & target location and immediately port to it. 2-way portal remains open for 5 secs. (900 range)

Primarily a control kit, dealing some damage, but dishing out support conditions (vuln & weakness).

omg that would be cool, then there would be more engis!

Sounds awesome, tough skill 5 would ridicule the concept of walls in wvw and de-function every jp^^
But I like the idea, since asura use portal-tech anyways, even their character-story “can” revolve around a teleport-gun in the beginning…
reversing it (place target-portal under your feet / port back when placing the second one) to a mesmer-like function would solve the issue and leave a surely interesting weapon.

Haha the engi would be a High-Tech Class very good! +1

Figured LoS would solve the WvW wall issue but I hadn’t considered JPs. Maybe limit it to not work across gaps. My idea was based on combat positioning, for instance: porting yourself behind your target, swapping to grenades to unleash a salvo, and then port back thru it when they turn to react. Which is why I wouldn’t want it to function like a mesmer’s portal. Also, it would only be usable by the player, not allies.

I see, sadly that won’t work with gw2
portal-skills are basically just a message to the server to re-allocate the players position (which were exploited for farmbots last year). They can’t check if the way to your target is valid or obfuscated (by a gap for instance). So if they don’t change the way how client and server communicates (which they most likely won’t for just one skill), I sadly see no way how this skills mechanic could be implemented without the said side-effects.

And about the LoS on walls: you can already drop siege into walls to sink it, so the engine already behaves a bit kitten y on this side

Now that I think about it, it could work.
Just let a 5-sec timer (or longer) run in the background that ports you automatically back to your starting location. Reason it with a failsafe-system for an unstable prototype. Therefore you actually could port on walls or skip parts of jp’s temporary, but had to deal with the fact that your opponent most likely will know where you are in 5 sec.
could spice sPvP up as well, especially if combined with elixir S belt-ability or otherwise gained stealth^^

Isn’t the Mesmer blink ability limited by gaps? I seem to remember not being able to blink to certain spots across gaps like I could using Engi Jump Shot.

The portal skill I suggested is essentially a flashy copy of the thief’s Shadowstep, but with the ability to go back ’n forth for the duration instead of the condition cleanse.

I see, in that case its more like an automated placement in the players LoS at a certain distance (or obfuscations on the way)…
then again, that’s what rocket-boots already are kinda like. tough the back and forth-porting would be quite awesome.

Kinda. RB have a travel time and (unfortunately) an aftercast time. I’m hoping for a skill that lets me pop to a spot 500 range away and let me keep shooting without a delay. In fact, without even cancelling my targeting. Then step through the portal again if I want to arrive back at the starting portal spot and keep fighting.

Good for escape (1-way port, no return, run), combat movement (as exampled above), even hardcore zerg attack (port into zerg, bomb bomb, AED, bomb bomb bomb, port out).
