Why are Engineers medium armor?
We don’t need it. Having 100 extra armor wont really make or break anything either. But a human or charr in the heavy t3? No
Heavy sets just wouldn’t look right with our hobosacks.

Mind you, most medium sets don’t either.
I’m actually perfectly fine with medium armor, I think it’s the right choice for engineers, especially since they have decent access to protection, regeneration, blinds, blocks, and the like. You can make a fairly tanky engineer build as it is, having more armor could actually make them a bit crazy (think guardians with a high base health pool instead of low).
Also, if engineers were a heavy armor profession, then all rifle and shield users in the game would be heavy armor users. Having it this way adds a little bit more variety into the mix of things (though shortbow and hammer are currently only useable by one type of armor).
Raise our armor class to heavy, raise our HP to warrior levels, give us more reliable stability, and bunker engineers would be ridiculously overpowered.
(I really do want the ability to disable or at least dye my hobosacks though. ANet please.)

Would just raising our armor class make bunker engineers overpowered? We already have more health than Guardians.

Hot pink hobosacks for everyone.

I’ve got 3,429 armor in PvP already with settler’s and melandru runes, another 170 would only be about a 4% difference. Another 3k health though, would be great for dealing with conditions and burst damage, and synergize well with automated response.
Good points.
Maybe we just need some more armor sets that would suit the engineer a bit better. Coats just make me think of ranger and thief. Lets get something like sleeveless vests or something. Maybe more how an army uniform would look, only flashier and in line with the GW art style.

SE armor, magi tech, aetherblade, gasmask, WvW coat are all engi looking armors

and they look like crap and trying too hard.
As quick as the Valkyries ride,
As true as Odin’s spear flies,
There is nowhere to hide.

That’s entirely opinion. I love SE and aetherblade on my asura
I actually love alot of the medium armor styles.
