Well, some ideas for the engy buildables.

Barricades, prevent access through an area.
Those arrow igniters, whatever they're called.
Maybe a crossbow could be mounted on the barricade and used to shoot over.

Hot Oil pots, nicely cooking up anyone who gets near. (And burnable for massive damage!)

I've got it. For the engie: a "smith's hammer" which can be right-click thrown. It regenerates like the baseball, and while it's missing, you can't use it even for construction.

It doesn't stun, because people hate stun, but it's a reasonable ranged weapon for the engie. Maybe it can bounce from enemy to enemy. Yeah, I could see that.

 Valve, we gotta go on the level here.

 Combine the razorback and danger shield. Combine the gunboats and mantreads. Combine the solemn vow and vita saw.

 Every single one of those weapons have problems that combining wit each other fixes. Razorback and danger shield are both considered useless compared to jarate and the smg, with the health bonus helping snipers survive shooting spies. Them soldier boots are both weak when you gotta take away the shotgun and the combined ability of taking less jump damage and dealing damage with them opens up a new play style that could never be considered overpowered. The medic weapons arepretty evenly split between less than useful and no downside, so combine them so in order to see enemy health you have less health.

 And also the reserve shooter for pyro. Fuck he already has the axetinguisher a minicrit shotgun won't change the equation that much. It will make the axetinguisher less of an overwhelming choice for pyro melee so theybstart using theother melee weapons.

Oh, I have got it!
For the engineer, an area denial air-blast sentry,
Deflects projectiles automatically(With out aiming) and pushes back players.
Mostly you would throw it up near another sentry.

So the only thing that could kill it would be spies, heavies, and medics.

Bullets, and it would not be 100% effective, It would have a cool down like the pyro's so a projectile class could out-shoot it, but It would would soften the projectile spam.

Think like a mini sentry, not some big healthy building. You would throw one up so you could cap points and move objectives.

Gunboats is a pain in the ass as it is. It doesn't need any buffs.

I've been rolled and rolled too many people with gunboats soldiers, kthx. Sacrificing one soldier to kill the enemy medic on a competitive match a valid strategy.

...I can't even do that. Air shotting people is 100x easier then that.

What? You tap jump and point behind you...

[The Scout]

What? You tap jump and point behind you...

The rapid jumping around. That's hard as hell.

... Seriously... try it... After a few minutes you will be doing it too.

Scout, While you are waiting to get a server started just practice rocket jumping, If you can have one on one soldier battles, while waiting, it is all the better.
You will be doing rollouts, and aerials like a champ in no time.

[Jackrabbit]

He's right. I had no idea you could do that before today and I tried it once and instantly got the hang of it.

[PsyberianHusky]

Still, the point stands; Mantreads are a joke.
