Longer ranged melee weapons such as lances
“A lance is a pole weapon or spear designed to be used by a mounted warrior. The lance is longer, stouter and heavier than an infantry spear, and unsuited for throwing, or for rapid thrusting.”
I’m pretty sure you’re referring to polearms rather than lances.
Yes that is what I am referring to thank you
Hey, great idea, been thinking the same thing for quite some time too. Here’s what I came up with that would be fun, practical, and lore-friendly:
I think a ~600 Range Melee Spear would be great, and if it were 1-handed, well then I’m sure plenty of GW1 paragon lovers would be instant fans. You could also do a throwing spear for the same reason. You could even make a 2-handed spear, more like a lance, that I could see being very fun. My personal vote would be a Scythe though, being a dervish lover, and wanting an option for a longer/wider range 2-handed Melee weapon available, say on a Guardian, Necro, Mesmer, etc. In that same regard, I think a ~300 range 1-handed melee crescent-style weapon would be great, and fun for something like a Thief, Ranger, Warrior, you name it. There’s also something like a Whipchain or tri-sectional staff that I think could totally be implemented, especially if they come with cc-oriented skills.
And maybe not for range, but a Fist weapon could be fun too.
Was this what you had in mind?
