Tool belt

From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

The tool belt is a special ability exclusive to the engineer profession which adds up to five tool belt skills to engineer's arsenal, based on the equipped slot skills (healing, utility and elite). Tool belt skills are activated by using the keys F1F5. Functionality for the F4 slot unlocks at level 19 (see Level rewards for all thresholds). Each of the skills equipped into the slot skills bar fills one of the tool belt skill slots with another skill, such as, e.g., the ability to toss an elixir, triggering a turret's effect around the player character, or other gadgets. Using a tool belt skill has no inherent effect on the corresponding healing or utility skills (such as triggering recharge time), and vice versa. All slot skills, including racial skills (except racial elites), have tool belt skills available to the engineer. Elite specializations replace the elite (F5) tool belt skill.

Notes[edit]

  • Unlike kits, tool belt skills use the mainhand weapon's strength to calculate damage.
  • Tool belt 5 appears in the profession mechanic slot 5 if no elite specialization is equipped, or if no minor adept for an elite specialization is trained.
  • Tool belt 1-5 is completely replaced by Mechanist elite specialization's Jade Mech CJ-1 and mech command skills, as long as the minor adept for Mechanist is trained.

Trivia[edit]

  • The inspiration for the idea of tool belt skills came from 1980's movie The Goonies character Data.
