Engineer Class

It’s Thursday and the long-awaited profession release has come.

So it’s the Engineer, not the mesmer. Sad panda. In any event:

The latest profession revealed for Guild Wars 2 is the engineer, a brand new profession. The engineer doesn’t have a large selection of weapons, but they make up for this in the diversity of their skills. For example, the engineer has a selection of Weapon Kits that gives the engineer access to new weapons.

Among their other skill types, the engineer can use different Backpack Kits (such as a mine or med kit) and Turrets (like a net or healing turret). Furthermore, the engineer has a special set of skills called the Tool Belt, which adds to the effectiveness of their other skills (such as a detonation option for mines).

As usual, the profession release comes with detailed descriptions of what makes the engineer unique, and comes with a selection of skill videos.

Thanks to Guildoholic and RDarken for spotting this first on our site and to RDarken for formulating the announcement and sending it too me while I was still half asleep (which is much better than what I originally had)!
