No more speculation about a possible engineer profession in Guild Wars 2 as it has just been confirmed that it will be one of the playable classes in the game!

Masters of mechanical mayhem, engineers tinker with explosives, gadgets, elixirs, and all manner of deployable devices. They can take control of an area by placing turrets, support their allies with alchemic weaponry, or lay waste to foes with a wide array of mines, bombs, and grenades.

Like elementalists, engineers use a single weapon set at a time, but they complement this weapon set by equipping special utility and healing kits. These kits provide the engineer with special weapons and backpacks loaded with a full set of skills to replace their current weapon skills.

I didn't think we would see a profession like this because ArenaNet said they didn't want to limit the amount of weapons a profession has, but I guess the turrets and kits will make up for that. I hope they end up adding a melee weapon or two to the mix though.

I'm happy with the profession for the most part. I dislike the name and I more than likely will not play this profession, but at least my speculation about a "Gunner" class was close.

Looks a fine addition to the professions, something totally different. The Engineer will provide a completely new play-style option and that can only be good. I would assume that the Engineer's primary role will be a heavy duty but relatively slow utility character, able to add greatly to a group's ability to harass the enemy
