Colin Johanson said the engineer is “our answer to James Bond” because of the gadgets and skills available. At first glance it would appear the engineer has the least amount of options and tools since it has access to only 3 weapon types and does not have the ability to swap them.

Out of all of the classes in Guild Wars 2, having only 3 utility skills looks like it will lead to plenty of frustration, with so many interesting choices. Flame thrower, glue gun, and several different turrets to choose from makes the engineer seem more like Spy vs Spy than Mr. Bond.
