Guild Wars 2

some ideas i have been thinking about for new weapons.

Glaives: a sword like weapon with a hand grip in the middle and two curved blades on either side. could be used by warriors, thiefs, Rangers. Mesmers? focuses on movement and AoE cripple/bleed attacks.

Poleaxe: used by Warriors, guardians and Engineers? Focuses on charging in and debilitating/knocking down foes.

Flail: used by warriors, Guardians, Engineers, thiefs? focuses on powerful attacks that slow and stun the target.

Short Spear: one handed spear weapons. used by Warriors, Thiefs, Elementalists, ranger? can be used as a thrown weapon by Ranger or Elementalist. focuses on quick piecing attacks.

Chakrams: a blade in the shape of a large ring with a hand grip. used by Elementalists, Necromancers, Mesmers and Guardians. a magicly thrown weapon that returns to the user (not unlike the water attuned dagger auto attack for Elementalists) Focusing on quick single target attacks and confusing AoE attacks.

just some ideas. enjoy the brain storm

I do like the idea of spears, tridents, pole axes, and pole weapons in general.

I think spear would be interesting if say the F1 key switched between distance and melee mode.

I’d like more caster weapons besides scepter, staff and focus not to completely balance out the adventurer or soldier type weapons but just to flesh out more options (while expanding on all weapon types). Tomes, maybe Focus main-hand, Scepter off-hand, maybe chain/whip, perhaps Fan.

I’d also like to see a bit more proliferation. I think a bow on an Elementalist is very natural, shooting elemental arrows around and such. I actually wrote a topic on it here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/New-Elementalist-Weapon-Longbow/first#post1446630

“Scythe”
Damage 800-1350 both hands
casters use it as a staff warriors guardians and rangers use as a close range wepon.

“Ball and chain”
Damage 850- 1200 both hands
ranger warrior guardian theif classes use weapon

“Numchucks”
Damage 905-1000 off hand main hand
theif guardian mesmer ranger

“brass knuckles”
905-1000 both hands
all classes. it will be more of a personal boxer type of weapon not usable outside of citys.

Great Axes!!!! The best weapon other then an AR-15!!!

I would check this thread out, has a lot of feedback already.

good ideas but i think it would be better if instead of naming it spear, javelin so it don’t get confused with the underwater weapon

→ Gauntlets
→ Twohanded Axe
→ Flail
→ Crossbow
→ Sniper gun

What id like to see

Two handed Axes
Warrior, Guardian , Ranger
Focused on Conditions, in short is the 2 handed condition weapon

Shotguns
Warrior, Engineer
Focus on keeping the rifle more long range and adding a shotgun for short range

CrossBows
Ranger , Warriors, Theif
Control and Knockback range weapon
