Guild Wars 2

I just finished my Tempered Spinal Blades today and love them. Wonderful art, nice glow, and very Engineer-y! I only have one problem:

When I equip a kit, which is frequently as an Engineer, the art from the back piece disappears. Now I know for a fact that my Fractal Capacitor doesn’t do that, and if I keep the Kit on while I un-equip the Spinal Blades and then subsequently re-equip them, the art stays on along with the kit (and looks absolutely amazing imho).

The reason I spent the time to get this piece was that I hoped for a beautiful back piece that I could show off while tossing Grenades/Bombs at everything in the universe. Any hope for a fix to this?

Sylvandras this isn’t just an issue for that specific back piece its an issue with almost every back piece, and seeing as the most popular builds are nade builds or kit builds it makes having an engie with a back piece almost pointless. the only two back pieces i know of that this issue doesn’t occur is the fractal back piece and the zepher back pack and the only reason it works is that fact that its huge so it covers up the nade kit. this is an issue anet should have fixed along time ago seeing as every engie in the game complains about it.

I have a beta fractal capacitor on my engi and it still bugs for that one. The way I thought it worked is that every backpiece disappears when you first equip a kit and then when you use a skill from the kit the backpiece reappears.

Mine has the blades pop out as soon as I lay a bomb, or throw a grenade. I truly hope they don’t “fix” this, as I think it is kinda cool to see the blades from the backpack popping out of the equipped kit. Also, as I spent much time and gold to make the ascended Tempered Blades, I feel it’d be almost a waste to just have it fully hidden on kit equips.
