[Could engineer become able to switch weapons?]

How about no. Main reason I picked Engi was because it has no weapon swap. I think weapon swapping in general looks stupid as hell animation wise. So, I main both Engi and Ele because they don't allow weapon swapping. I barely contain my annoyance at kit swapping(has gotten better), but I at least know that my twin pistols are my main weapon making it feel like a true gunslinger/bounty hunter theme wise. Weapon swapping would ruin that immeasurably. If you want to weapon swap, go play all the other professions that have it. Just leave this kitten idea behind for Engi. I am getting tired of seeing it pop here with people thinking it is some grand idea. When in reality, it would make a lot of us who like engi as is not enjoy it anymore.

What the hell kinda comment is this...If you dont wana swap weapons then dont. Why take it away from everyone else? If weapon swap was brought in for engi's it wouldn't even effect you.

+1 for engi weapon swap!

[Ranged build to play in SPvP]

So I am coming back after a little while off from the game. I loaded into SPvP to play some games on my Pistol/Shield mech. I dont know if its just me but I cannot reproduce the damage I used to do...like not even close. I love mech but its a little depressing for me to play it right now. I even messed around with hammer mech for a bit just for fun and I was putting out quite a bit more damage.

What other ranged builds are doing well in SPvP right now?

Ranger? Dragon Hunter? Deadeye? any others?

or if someone has a great pistol/shield build they can share i would be grateful. Just be aware if Anet sees it, it could be nerfed soon after haha.

[Engineer Shortbow]

Why are we getting another support weapon. Mace was the last new weapon to be released for engi. Two support weapons in a row, comon. Where are my bomb arrows :(!

I mean the chain reaction thing is cool but this weapon just looks boring. I had very high hopes for it and now im pretty disappointed. Ill see what its like on the beta weekend, maybe I can make some frakenstine SPvP build with it. Honestly it just looks too clunky to use in any pvp mode.

I hope im wrong though.
