Guild Wars 2

The Glorious Spear ! Influencing dev and you guys.

I’m reading forum of guild wars 2 each day, and i’m very disappointed how the ideas of people are very limited in matter of innovating anything new to the Guild Wars 2, as new class. (monks, druids, shamans.. just another wow thing which we don’t want to see at all because healing and stuff is not going to happen… ever)

If any of suggestions is ever readed by dev, i would like to show and give developers some inspiration and ideas for new class and weapons. And for you guys, i would suggest that you don’t just read it would be nice to post replay to get this idea to live.

As we know paragons are the loyal people of Elona i had in mind that it would be awesome to continue the lore and story of guild wars 1.I already know that many people don’t like paragons because developers didn’t give much attention on them in previous game(GW1). They were neglected, and not developed as other classes.

In Guild wars2 i would suggest influencing paragons with middle earth culture. African, Gladiator and Ancient Greek >Spartans.
Giving them heavy or medium armor and following weapons:

• Spear (As they wielded them in GW1)
• Sword
• Shield
• Dagger
• Mace

As optional i would like to represent new weapon to the guild wars 2 which would make this class so special.
For those who like to rage “This won’t happen it’s toooo complicated”, I’m letting you know, that each of this weapons are already implemented in game, so that wouldn’t be major problem to create weapons out of them, because they are in every day use:

• Whip: ( Monsters in ORR risen use them, as well as Thief’s skill “Scorpion Wire”)
• Net: ( Many monsters use a net to immobilize enemies)
• Spear:( Many monsters including Quaggans use spear)

Their play type would be middle range and frontliner, combining next weapons sets:

• Spear / Shield
• Spear / Battle net
• Sword / Shield
• Dagger/ Shield
• Mace / Shield
• Whip / Shield
• Whip / Battle net

Because we have to many long ranged as mages and rangers, we need more front-line and specially MID range type of class.
