Guild Wars 2

I thought it might be interesting to have some sort of unlock mini-task for each class to complete, so they can unlock a weapon that is typically used by other classes. And maybe certain classes could get a different version of the more unusual weapons for their respective class.

So for example:

In place of the Staff, Scepter, and Focus:

Warrior gets a Halberd, Flail (1h, can be dual wield), and Cetus (1h, can be dual wield)..etc

Thief gets a Double Bladed staff, Kamas (1h, can be dual wield), Claws (1h, can be dual wield)…etc

Ranger gets a melee staff…. etc

… etc etc lol

You know how much work it is to implent 42 skins pr new eapon…

The word you’re looking for is quarterstaff.

I don’t think anet is giving all classes all the weapons just for logic. Elementalists don’t use a greatsword because greatswords are heavy and would weigh them down for the finesse they require. Plus it’s not just giving a weapon a new skin, they also have to come up with skills for the weapons. 60 new skills, 5 for each class, and then 3 for each attunement for an elementalist, and then they have to do that for each weapon.

I’m sure at some point in the future we will get new weapons but it will take time because they have to release a lot of the new weapons at the same time so that some classes dont feel shafted.

I thought they are giving us all the weapons for variety. But really, what skills could a Warrior get for magic weapons? Shout skills? And based on what you just said where’s the logic for Mesmers using a greatsword then?

I didn’t mean for them to just get a new skins; I was talking about each class getting a weapon (with new skills of course) that makes sense for that class based on how they play now. I don’t see a warrior using a staff without it being turned into another weapon. And they have their banners for magic-like skills.

Well of course.
