We know very little when it comes to the Warrior, Thief, Elementalist and Ranger specialization but thanks to That_Shaman over on Guild Wars 2's Reddit, we now at least know what the Engineer's drones look like and the fact they have names. They are:
- Torch
- Shield
- Mine (the blades)
- Gun (the vents)
- Heal (the legs)
That_Shaman also states there's several icons on the tail for each:
- Bubbles
- Bomb
- Eyes (as shown in the screenshots)
- Blade
- Sparkles
- Shield
- Chains
As to what the drones do or how they'll function? We have no idea. I hope to god they aren't anything like the minions for Necromancer because they'll be a liability. Pet AI seemingly isn't ArenaNet's strong suit. There's a side of me that would like them to function similar to a Ranger's Shouts. You select a target, use the skill and the drone would appear and make its way to your foe before detonating. I think that'd be a fun solution to an AI problem.
