Guild Wars 2

I’ve already suggested in another thread that there should be more than 5 skills per weapon type at some point, possibly added through patches and expansions.

However, I did not discuss how it could be made fun, interesting and rewarding to obtain them.

Idea #1 – Weapons with Hidden Skills
If anyone has played Final Fantasy 9 in the past, it would work similarly.

Let’s take Greatswords, for example. Imagine that:
- There are some rare Greatswords, obtained with difficulty, through challenging enemies, dungeons or rare weapon recipes
- These rare Greatswords would have a Hidden Weapon Skill (HWS).
- Any specific HWS might be available through more than one of such Greatswords.
- This HWS is unlocked as long as you have that weapon equipped, and will gain experience from your kills.
- Once you obtain the necessary experience to Learn the HWS, you no longer need to have that specific Greatsword equipped, and will be able to use it with any Greatsword.

Idea #2 – Weapon Masters
Weapon Masters could be scattered and travelling across the world.
Each of these Masters would focus on a single weapon type, and each of them would teach you a single HWS if you beat them using their Weapon of Choice.

So a Scepter Master would grant you a specific Scepter HWS if you beat him using a Scepter yourself.

This would be a cool feature to have. I support this.

I like it however the only thing I would personally use it for would be better damaging skills for my 1 staff skill on my Guardian.

Love the idea. I think it should be implemented, it would provide a little more diversity between fighters.

Would love to have some more feedback. Keep it constructive.

Trust me you’d use it for alot more than just that.
