With GW2 having been out a while I’d like to see a few more weapon options. And since my main is a thief, I’ve mostly thought of options for that class.

Whips
I’d like to see whips added as a weapon. Theres already an animation for nightmare court sylvari, and all elementalists have it on their lightning skills for dagger. This could be either a mainhand for thieves (Indiana Jones!!!) or an off-hand. It goes well with the close-range nature of the class, and could have some fun effects, I’m thinking mainly snares.

Sniper rifles
Seriously, thieves need to be given a rifle option. My charr wields pistols on principle, because a short-bow just doesn’t have the firepower.

Fist weapons
Having huge spikes on your fists instead of gauntlets can both look cool and work from a gameplay perspective. Short-range channeled punch-combo, anyone? In general, both warriors, mesmers and thieves need more of a martial-arts-style weaponset. This could also work for necromancers, now that I think of it, to take them out of the whole “caster”-niche a bit.

Halberds/Greataxes
Our guardians, warriors and rangers need to be able to wield bigger axes. Because bigger is better. In terms of axes.

Oh, also, I’d like to see thieves given the option to use off-hand torch. Looks great aestethically, and works from a gameplay perspective since mesmers already use torches to enter stealth.

Well, my two cents anyway.

Ice dragon, fire dragon, risen dead from Orr,
branded creature, icebrood creature, war war war.

xbows
rangers and thieves should wield every ranged weapon

wands?
not saying it should be harry potter way but all magicians love it as main hand

Polearms
for warriors and guardians

As Athel suggested Whips would be amazing + it can also be for caster professions, animations would be cool, Remember how cool Balrog swings his flame whip in front of Gandalf.
