Hello Community,
as you can see in the topic title i want to write about 3 things.
i’m doing it because i happen to come up with things, which i’d love to see in GW2, but think they’d never happen… so it’s more like sharing my ideas with you in the community than suggesting something (because it would be really awkward if ANet would take one of your ideas ingame right? ;o)

so here we go^^

1. Armor of the Six
Yes i guess you know what i want to see..
The human cultural armor looks good yes, but compared to the other races (especially t3 stuff) it’s average… and boring just as the humans (yay make boring things more boring)
so IF (what i hope) the races get more cultural stuff here is the plan for humans

Light:
Armor of the Six – Dwayna
Armor of the Six – Lyssa

Medium:
Armor of the Six – Melandru
Armor of the Six – Grenth

Heavy:
Armor of the Six – Kormir
Armor of the Six – Balthasar

i mean.. what’s the problem? We have amazing looking gods and even concepts of an armor design (remember the derwish’s avatars from GW1?)
so why not make amazing armor sets inspired by the six gods?
maybe with SOME particle effects like fire for balthasar or ice for grenth..
so yeah, how would you like that idea?

2. Ranger Greatsword
As amazing as i think a medium class with a greatsword is… but why, really why should i use a greatsword on a ranger right now?
i know it has been discussed very often and i know ‘it shall be a defensive weapon!’, ‘learn to play, it’s not all about dmg’ and ‘learn to use your pet for dmg’, but hey isn’t the GS something that should provide dmg?.. imo it was just simply overnerfed after the beta… but yeah i could talk all the day about how unsatisfied i am with the GS on ranger… here is the idea:

one or more new utilites for the ranger. their function?
Seal of the Greastsword x,y,z
Passive: Opening Strikes burn your foe (idk think about something better xD)
Active: Set free the Spirit of your pet and let it merge with the Greatsword.
-> Pet vanishes, GS gains buffs
for example Seal x improves the base dmg, Seal y adds some conditions to some attacks, Seal z adds healing to 1 or 2 skills
only one seal can be active at the time
and maybe Seal x would be enough, to not let the GS be capable of everyhting xD
but that idea will just stay in my imagination, cant imagine ANet implementing it :/

3. Particle Effects
yeah the last point is a trap sorry, it’s just a request to increase some particle effects like the ones of the Destroyer weapons .. i like the concept of those but a bit more ‘heat’ coming from them would be nice.. to match the corrupted stuff xD
or maybe some effects to t3 cultural weapons for the sake of not looking like a average weapon skin

yeah that’s it.. remember that this is my opinion and you can have your own and share it, but no hard feelings, kay?

I’d just like to point out that to a point, the “true” god’s armor does exist in game as Hall of Monuments rewards. There are gauntlets based on Dwayna and Balthazar. (the dwayna ones glow, the balthazar ones have fire particle effects.)

However, I agree that God based cultural armor would have made more sense.

And Ranger GS was definitely overnerfed. But you can still use it as a nice bleed spreading weapon.

EDIT: Forgot pic to show balth gauntlets.
