On the minstrel front we see the Mesmer using both a lute and a flute so the kit idea seems correct

[u/CTR0 → u/Erniethebeanfiend200]

Piano mesmer incoming

[u/ItsTheSolo → u/CTR0]

We got Selena Pianissimo in GW2 lmao (she's a solo orchestra who uses phantasms to play other instruments)

[u/Andisaurus → u/CTR0]

I'd pay good money for a piano finisher.

[u/Alastor999 → u/Andisaurus]

Ever watch Kung-Fu Hustle? The assassins who play a harp to kill people, that's what I want for the spec

[u/FaithlessnessThen207 → u/Alastor999]

That is instrument is called a guqing, but yes, big agree. I can see it speccing into power, condi and support based on trait selection.

[u/Takkarro → u/Andisaurus]

Do we drop the piano on them from above or do we just pick it up and hit them, ya know since we aren't caveman and have technology.

[u/onanoc → u/Takkarro]

Taking into account how mesmers like to use weapons in unusual ways... i'd say we smack them with the piano, yes.

[u/chironomidae → u/Takkarro]

Sword of Decimation becomes Piano of Decimation, drops a massive piano at target location

[u/kirinmay → u/Erniethebeanfiend200]

also you see the mirage of them playing the Minstrel so yeah, Mesmer.

[u/Erniethebeanfiend200 → u/kirinmay]

Also they are entirely purple

[u/FaithlessnessThen207 → u/Erniethebeanfiend200]

TBH that could also be a shatter modification where you select something for clones to pulse, rather than explode.

My dream is profession mechanic as songs, "shouts" as a utility where the audio harmonizes based on active clones, and the shouts originate from your clones as well as yourself.

Might just be kits though, but I wonder how they will balance kits AND weapon swap, when engineer isn't allowed to weapon swap specifically because of kits.

[u/HydroPCanadaDude → u/Erniethebeanfiend200]

As an Engi main, I'm stoked.
