Guild Wars 2

As an Engineer with a set of really expensive Static Spinal Blades, I can just about live with the fact that when I equip a Flamethrower or whatever, my lovely back item is replaced by the hobosack. It’s the price you pay for being an Engi, seeing as how nothing will ever be done about it.

However … flamethrower equipped, I activate ONE skill, and my Spinal Blades are back, kludged together with the hobosack, and the resulting mess looks even more awful.

This simply cannot be Intended behaviour. Make it one or the other. My personal preference would be that of a back item is checked as visible, it should override the bloody hobosack.

(For those who say this would give Engi’s an unfair advantage in stuff like PvP – oh, come on, you can tell what sort of weapon an Engi is using by the fact that he’s lobbing grenades or a big jet of flame is shooting out of his gun.)
