2 Handed Axe
This was brought up in the past and I have a feeling we may see it in a expansion… Just no telling when that will be… I’m guessing 1-2 years at the earliest unless they drop a major content patch adding a weapon or 2.
its ben brought up before and ive agreed in those threads also.
Ill also agree in this since the big kitten Druss axe is VERY appealing. Hell Id be happy with it even if it was a reskin of the GS

Guess I missed the previous post of it being added in a future xpac. Thank you for the heads up. Much appreciated!
Requested plenty of times and at the moment the only confirmed weapon that they want to add to the game, The problem lies in creating and animating all those different axe animations and drawing the elaborate skins takes a LONG time..Especially considering how much variety of weapon skin types there already exist in the game.
Other weapons i’ve seen requested:
Whips
Crossbows
On land spear/Javelin
Fists (Anet have really no excuse for that one, They already got animations and it requires no skins – Doesn’t need to be useful mind you, Just fun if it was there)

Adding to your list Scyth’s
Whips if they add it will be added with the xpac that brings in the crystal desert and hopefully Dervishes. In the novels the Dervishes used Scyths and Whips
Spear or Javelin i would see them if they were to add Paragons again, if not eventually i guess.
I would love a 2H Axe! How would you suggest they differ from Greatsword or Hammer though? What would the strengths be that would set it apart from the other 2H weapons?
The same as 2 handed swords differ from s handed hammers. Personally i never saw a reason why they didn’t include 2 handed axes in the first place. Although it is probably due to time.
I hope they add a two-handed axe and it can be a ranged option for Rangers like the one handed axe. Hehe.
throwing knives for theives would be EPIC

Yeah i forgot to add scythes on the list though i don’t really count them out of 3 reasons:
1 dervishes don’t exist in GW2 so there isn’t a “scythe class” to tie it in with. Remember Dervishes were human “avatar” characters. It would be..Like the death knight of WoW really, this super powerful replacement class that 50% of the players are going to play.
2 Scythes already exist in the form of staff skins
3 it’s a farmers tool.
On topic: Well the axe can have plenty of uses: A more “two handed” way to bleed the opponent for the bored sword/something warrior. A more mobile “whirling” kind of weapon for the ranger. Some evil sweep based spells for a Necromancer..The options are many.
My thoughts on what classes should have the weapon: Warrior (for obvious reasons) Ranger and Guardian, And Necromancer.
if ya look at the GS animations they would fit with an axe quite well. Not perfect I know but as a tempory measure they would only need to make skins.

I don’t think Dervishes are the “Death Knight of GW”
To be honest we have Norn that take on the Form of their “Gods” and humans now take on aspects of the Gods.
Dervish is more of an ideal than anything else. it is like Monks in real life they choose to live their life’s by set code.
With the ability to play all races Dervish is still a possible avenue, it would just create a sub sect of that race.
Similar to a Charr ( driven by war and the fight ) to join the Durmond Piroy. There are many signature characters that go against the base believe of the charr, it doesn’t make them any less charr. Just as there is nothing saying a Charr or a Asuaran can’t say hey I think the humans may be on to something and follow and believe in the 6 gods.
Just saying the Dervish Profession is still a viable profession for future xpacs

Well i see your point but spirits are already in the game in terms of racials, same with the human god related skills, My problem is that dervishes were only human in the past and i don’t really see them make a comeback, Also There is a couple of things saying charr can’t become dervishes in lore. They killed their gods thinking those who worship them are weak. Food for thought ^^
