I don’t understand…. I’m a “Mighty adventurer” Who has beaten Zhaitan, explored the entire world, and defeated countless enemies… But when it comes to using my fist in a fight I just stand there going like …. “wut”?

Players can wield great swords, shields, pistols, and all that good stuff but they can’t dish out a punch? I mean SERIOUSLY ANET??? it’s quite ridiculous…. if i unequip my weapon sets all i can do in a fight is just stand there take hits and smile…

I’m not asking for over the top hand to hand combat mechanics like some “Matrix” combat or kungkittenpanda BS =P …. Nor am i asking for a KO captain falcon punch… just a simple hand to hand combat system that allows for some versatility for players…. I know an argument can be made that the game is already really versatile with it’s combat system and i agree… but it still doesn’t make any sense that i can’t use my fists to fight…

A system like this should dish out some little below average damage but should give bonuses depending on the class you are… for example guardians would get hand to hand combat that increases armor like “Iron skin” skills and abilities… or for Thieves you’d get “Ninja” like fist abilities that allow for dodging etc… of course there would have to be limits on what you can or can’t do to make sure it’s not over the top….

I can’t think of all the possible limitations/ skills that would be used here but if you have any ideas or objections please share…
