Hmm, Engineers that use guns, turrets, bombs, and grenades? I'm having WAR flashbacks! And I don't mean that in a bad way ;)

Definitely looking forward to trying out the engy. I had a lot of fun with them in Warhammer. Lil something to entice the masses =D I'm digging the jump shot...totally reminiscent of the soldier in TF2. BIG BADDA BOOM!!!

Must resist... who'm I kidding, my fate is sealed.

I agree. I first told myself..."not another game...not yet", but when I started seeing the trailers for all the classes I knew then that I must play this game.

I think I found my class.... and I think I better book my spot for Alt-itus Anonymous :)

Dargron! It's good to see you're still around. I feel like most of us Warhammer guys are just chillin' on the sidelines, waiting 'till GW2 comes out. Let's hope GW2 comes out late 2011 rather than Q1/Q2 2012, but only time will tell. There's rumors abound that at PAX in August, Arenanet will probably be announcing alpha/closed or open beta. We'll see. :)

GW2 looks great, but with around 7-12 months before it's released, I am trying hard to keep my excitement to a minimum. :(

This isn't making the wait any easier ya know.

And I don't mean that in a bad way ;)" I thought exactly the same thing. Probably my favorite class in WH was the Engineer - and my little dwarf - Whurja - had a blast setting up turrets and throwing bombs - and long range shots with her rifle. I can't wait to try out the pistol and shield combo - that was kind of unique - and I give them some kudos for putting that in. At least I won't have to be a dwarf to be an engineer. I know I will get letters from the dwarf lovers now :(

Hey there Vampiresbane! I'm looking forward to eventually fighting at your side once more... and most of the old Gaiscioch crew for that matter (I'm such a slow leveller in Rift that I havn't been of much use as yet). I started out in Warhammer looking to play a Dwarf Ranger. Since such a class didn't exist, the Engineer seemed the closest match, and over time I really got to love the versatility of the class with the turrets and landmines in particular. So much so, that when I discovered the Saboteur in Rift, I just had to recreate my Engineer (no turret, but much more variety of "mines"). Looks like once Guild Wars 2 comes around, I'll be hard pressed not to continue the trend once more, and even get my turret back in the bargain.

hmmm ... engineer, guess I know what my alt is going to be :)

After reading the interview that Paja posted - I will probably start with the engineer - I love hybrids - and this ol' gal - healing a litlle - laying down mines - setting up turrets - and shooting a rifle seems rather perfect - and then I also get to throw grenades. Damn nice. :)
