Because we’re all supposed to use Kits. Or something. Well, that’s the ‘kitten the devs’ response.
In reality, it’s probably just due to the Engineer being the last class they worked on, as well as one without a parallel in GW1. As a result of this combination of factors, they likely had trouble fleshing the class out in some ways. They may have had difficulty coming up with a particular set of hammer skills for the Engineer, or they may have just never really considered the idea at all, or any of a dozen things.
I just hope they reconsider, and give us hammers at some point soon.
Just give our Tool Kit a knockback from Thwack or Prybar and we should be fine.
That would probably be pretty useless on Tool Kit. Thwack can cripple with the power wrench trait which will let you escape. For prybar I imagine, especially if you trait power wrench, knockback would most often do more harm than good.
Besides the kits with the knockbacks are flamethrower and bomb kit for big ’ol bomb.

…And maybe a second weapon slot to put it in.
Actually it was the second to last class, the mesmer was last.
Personally, if a full turret build is what you want or turrets+tool kit, both work but they’re probably the slowest build in the game for PvE and make a mediocre bunker build when compared to a Guardian or Elementalist.
The best thing to do, in my opinion, would just make a masterwork trait that places a second rifle turret when you equip the wrench, which of course would have a CD on death or being unequipped.
Or alternatively, give us the kittened hammer, and a masterwork trait that allows its basic attack to heal like the wrench does. Then replace the wrench with a kit that actually constructs things instead of having you use tools as bludgeoning instruments like some kind of brain-dead neanderthal.

Don’t you think it’s pretty bad that you generalize that all people trait Power Wrench?
