Guild Wars 2

How about giving each class there own weapon and armorsets that only they can use like.

warr. 1-2H spears.
guard. bardiches.
thief. throwing knifes or 2 small crossbows.
ranger. crossbows.

not really sure about the rest but you get the idead.

And for armors its should be like armor the ranger can use the thief cant,likewise for guardian and warrior and not only that but also diffrent for each culture,so you dont see a norn guardian running around in the same armorset as a human guardian.

Hope this makes sence …:)

New weapons? Yes please! Doesn’t even have to be completely new, just make some of the current ones equipable by those professions who can’t use! (warriors with pistols, engineers with hammers, necromancers with torches, thieves with rifles, etc.)

Profession-restricted weapons? No thank you! An elite/utility skill to summon these weapons for use in combat is acceptable but actual profession-restricted weapons feels sorta dumb and goes against what Anet has in mind if you ask me. Crossbows (2 or 1 handed, doesn’t matter) would be perfect for both ranger AND thief. Same thing goes with your bardiche and spear (on land, I assume) idea. Could be useable for both guardian and warrior.

So, good weapon ideas but bad weapon system idea.

I agree this would be a neat idea, kinda like Lord of Destruction did it(Paladin Aegis, Barb Helms etc) and some classes could use some more unique gear… Engineer for example. Not a lot of gear out there feels Engineer-ish.

A good idea! Every profession should be able to use every weapon! (though they would get different skills from one another).

I don’t think there should be class-specific weapons. There should be class-specific armour and weapon skins. Also: please don’t add extra weapons to existing classes, but make a new class. After all if you give endless sorts of weapons to each class, what would make one class different from another?

Well i think both ideas could be combined, look at this:

-All current weapons should be equipable by every class (Why no close-combat Staff fighting warrior or thief? would be awesome)
-Add 1 but only 1 Special Weapon to every class (Scythe→Necro; 2H-Axe→Warrior; Armblades→Thieves …) which is only obtainable at higher level (70-80) but not meant to be OP
-Get titles for weapons (10000 combo hits with 1 weapon = Axe/GS/Staff/… Master)

I think it would be nice to see something like this but it would take them alot of time to test and balance the new stuff so if they do it dont expect it to be any time soon

I am in favor of anything that means more armor skins….and not the lame chef skin or something similar. Give me something that I actually want to wear in to battle!
