Guild Wars 2

I haven’t seen a topic like this one so I decided to make one.

What weapons would you suggest to be added for each class on next expansion?

Thief:
- Scythe
- Kusarigama

Ranger:
- Trap Kit? (Like something ENG have)
- Throwing Knives/Ballista

Guardian:
- Spear 1handed
- Tower Shield (with different mechanics from the normal shield)

Warrior:
- Ballista (With dif setup from Ranger)
- Spear (with dif setup from Guardian)

Those are the ones that I could come up with and maybe some of you guys have more interesting weapons that you would like to suggest?

I don’t know how it could be implemented, but it would be great if there were polearms, fist weapons/gauntlets, and whips. The only reason I mention whips is because elementalists already have a flashy lightning whip, and the Nightmare Court uses whips sometimes. Again, not sure how it could be implemented and for what professions, but since it’s already built into the game…

We need dragonslayer swords.

I don’t understand why we didn’t have those epic gargantuan weaponry to begin with. It’d be perfect for the Warrior to really show off how much more ‘frontline’ their class is.

Here’s a random skill set I made up on the spot.

I think that giving a Tarot deck to Mesmers would be cool. Maybe have a few different types of focuses (foci?) such as a mirror, crytal ball and a large rose like in GW1.

As for the OP’s suggestions:

- Scythe is necro-territory. No good concept-wise. (and yes, concept-perspective IS important)

- Kusarigama is basically a “Chain and Scythe”. Call it that for clarity to English-speakers.

- Trap Kit is pseudo-engineer and theif territory. No good concept-wise

- Throwing Knives is basically what ANet’s done with off-hand Daggers. Sorry if it doesn’t suit you.

- Ballistas. Do you even know what a ballista is? I’m hoping you mixed this up with Crossbows.

• Ballistas are already in the game: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ballista

- Spears are already in the game for underwater combat. ANet will definitely not create an overlap in terminology.

- Tower Shields is the only decent suggest. I would very much like to see Tower Shields offer Guardians more aggressive defense plays with a skill like…

• Shield Bash: Block attacks from the target for 1 second, then strike them with your shield, dealing damage and stunning them.

- Crossbows (?), this game could totally use crossbows, but how to make them not overlap with Longbows and Shortbows is a serious issue.

So, you just want a great variety of “focus” objects? This thread’s about actual new types of equipment that would offer different skills then what’s offered now.

Cards isn’t really a standard weapon on its own (only niche individuals like Gambit from X-men or Twisted Fate from LoL can actually use them). Focuses technically already push the boundaries on what’s “standard”, with the only reason being that magic exists in-game.

I’d like to see Chakrams.
You can throw them like boomerangs.
Use em like a yo-yo. Walk the dog style.
Or use them as parrying/deflecting tools.
Chakrams are fun for characters of all ages and hair styles.

Please fix the existing “weapons” (And by that I mean Engineer kits) first before thinking about new stuff.

There are plenty of weapon types they dont employ in the game that would be cool.

Whips
Katar
Chakram
2H Axe
Fists
Crossbows
Miniguns (I would love the engi ulti to be a minigun kit…)
scycle

Some can be more class specific obviously, but there are quite a few ways they can go about these abilities.

a Gauntlet for engineers
warriors too and maybe guardian

Throwing stars/knives
Pike (land spears)
Knuckles (hand combat)
Gauntlet
Katara
Sickle and Sycthe
Great Axe (2 handed)
Javalins
Darts
Crossbows
Slingshot/sling
Whip
Nunchaku (“Nun-Chucks”)

I haven’t seen a topic like this one so I decided to make one.

oh there were topics like this but they got buried quickly due to pve carebears complaining about wvw 100% map completion etc among other things.

Thief:
- Scythe
- Kusarigama

Scythe, no. for necro maybe.
Kusarigama, maybe ok. supposedly is a weapon for ninjas but maybe thieves are like ninjas so ok i guess.
maybe 1-handed crossbows for thieves.

]Ranger:
- Trap Kit? (Like something ENG have)
- Throwing Knives/Ballista

no kits. kits are engineers only.
throwing knives? just make dagger able to be equipped in main hand for ranger.
balista? no, that’s a siege weapon. u meant crossbows then.
2-handed crossbows for rangers, yes.

Guardian:
- Spear 1handed
- Tower Shield (with different mechanics from the normal shield)

spears are underwater weapons. so, no.
try 2 handed pole arms.
tower shield seems good.

guardians need a better ranged weapon.
maybe 2handed crossbows for guardians too?

Warrior:
- Ballista (With dif setup from Ranger)
- Spear (with dif setup from Guardian)

no, ballista is a siege weapon. 2 handed crossbows.
no, spear is underwater weapon. try 2 handed polearms.
2 handed great axes

Well, here’s my two cents on what I think should be implented for the classes.

Guardian

Flail (One-Handed) – Melee/DPS
Lance (One-Handed) – Melee/Control (Equip with Shield to change Skills 4 & 5).

Warrior

Brass Knuckles (Two-Handed) – Melee/DPS
Battle Pillar (Two-Handed) – Support/Damage

Thief

Katana (Two-Handed) – Melee/Condition
Double Bladed “Swallow” (Two-Handed) – AOE/Condition

Ranger

Crossbow (One-Handed/Off-Hand) – Ranged/Damage/Control
Great Axe (Two-Handed) – Melee/Damage

Engineer

Buzzsaw Kit – Melee/AOE
Arm Cannon Kit – Ranged/Burst/Condition

Mesmer

Whips (Off-Hand) – Control/Support
Quarterstaff (Two-Handed) – Melee/DPS

Elementalist

Tomes (Off-Hand) – Ranged/Condition/Damage
Shields (Off-Hand) – Support
(It’s diffucult to expand on this class. Feel free to add on to the Elementalist.)

Necromancer

Iron Fang Claws (Two-Handed) – Melee/Condition/Damage
Scythe (One-Handed) – Melee/Damage
Orb (Off-Hand) – Ranged/Damage

Your thoughts?

I don’t understand why people talk about EXPANSIONS at all. The ORIGINAL game is not nearly finished, and I should spend money on expansions? Wth?

I don’t intend to spend a DIME on anything ANet offers unless/until they finish what they started and what I already spent money on. I don’t mean just bug fixes, make the game actually worth playing. Inject some quality into your product before considering expansions. :P

Whip, Sai, bo staff, kama, nunchaku, chain Mace, Axe 2 hands, Halberds, Scythes, Cross Bow. Orbs magic, magic tomes and more … XD

Yeah, sorry… I did meant crossbows not ballistas my bad :P As for spears, what I meant where throwing spears like the ones paragons had on GW1, polearms would be cool too.

I know they still have a lot of work to do before they release or say something about an expansion but I think it’s nice to give out ideas of what players would like to see in the future so the guys at Arenanet know what the players might like once they decide on a new expansion.

I’d like the Cyclops laser, or something so I could do Goku’s Kamehameha

~Crossbow(long range slow attack speed, similar to longbow but no multi-shot skills) [Thief, Guardian, maybe ranger]
~Scythe(Wide range dmg with various conditions) [Necromancer, Mesmer maybe]
~Halberd(skills such as knockback or knockdown, wide range dmg) [Warrior, Ranger]
~Spell book[Underwater]( use of magic type attacks such as lightning, ice, poison and foefire)[Elementalist, guardian, necromancer]
~Bushido Sword(Quick attacking 2h sword with small range of dmg, many acrobats and lunge skills)[Warrior, maybe thief]
~Sniper kit(engineer kit for 1400 range, slow attacks high end dmg with some long castime skills)[Engineer]
~GreatAxe(slow, heavy dmg 2h. Many hard hitters like hammer)[Warrior, Guardian]
~Ball and chain[off-hand only](melee/ranged off-hand with various conditions and uses)[Thief, Ranger, Engineer, maybe Guardian]
~H2h(fist weapons with quick attacks and some power moves such as a knockback or daze or lunge fist)[Ranger, Mesmer, Warrior, Thief]

@Raging Bull; expansions are said to be free and raging at areanet isn’t going to make them go any faster I’d like to see you make a game half of this quality and come back here with it.

The only original weapon I’ve read on this thread so far is warrior wielding ballista.

My 2 cents: we have Bow shooting rainbows, why not add something like Charrzooka shooting cats?

Rather than adding weapons, I would love to see some of the current weapons tailored for classes that currently can’t use them. Some examples:

Warrior: Staff w/ a bo staff martial style
Ranger: Rifle w/ sniping skills
Mesmer: Daggers similar to Gambit’s deck of cards
Thief: Warhorn w/ mid-range buffs
