Guild Wars 2

I would like to see new weapons for the soldier classes such as a halberd or Battleaxe (2 handed axe).

They got enough weapons, compared to us thieves, which has least amount of versitality, engineer got kits eles got attunements, if they give thief offhand sword that would be more important than a kitten battleaxe

Iirc there’s actually code in the game for halberds. I too would kill for 2 handed axes as well!

Actually thieves are extremely versitile with their weapon sets. Also you’re the only class that gets a unique skill depending on your weapon combo. Not saying you shouldn’t get an additional weapon or two, just saying thieves are completely helpless with what they currently have, which is what your statement sounded like.

Ideally, I would like more of the existing weapons given to professions who don’t have them already: Examples like:

Warrior: Torch (skill4 could be a fire field done by tossing the torch, skill5 could be a cone fire attack)
Guardian: Rifle (another ranged style)
Elementalist: Sword
Thief: Rifle or Longbow
Mesmer: Pistol main hand, axe main hand
Necromancer: Sword
Ranger: Offhand sword, rifle
Engineer: Sword

I like the idea of having every profession able to use one specific fantasy weapon which is the sword, haha. They don’t have to use weapons like every other profession, so there could always be diversity. Engineer sword, for example, could be tech-style attacks like electric blade with a skill2 stun and a skill3 explode or something. Something which is themed to each class. If Guardians had access to a rifle, it could fire spirit rounds or something.

I think it would be cooler if Guardians used Longbows, Arrows of Light, or something like that. And I would love to see Elementalists be able to use swords.

You forget that there is something called PvP, which needs to be balanced to be fun. You don’t know how hard it is to balance 8 classes all with different weapons, and it isn’t even near perfect yet, and you already demand new weapons. Only if PvP Balance is stabilized, we can get new weapons. And don’t say “only make it available for PvE”, that’s a stupid solution.

lol demand? I’m not demanding I’m SUGGESTING since this is the suggestions forum. If you have a problem with pvp balance issues make you’re own thread instead of raging in this one.
“Warrior: Torch (skill4 could be a fire field done by tossing the torch, skill5 could be a cone fire attack)” this sounds a lot like a mix of the ranger and guardian torch skills (ranger #4 skill on torch and guardian #5 skill)

Thief need offhand sword as first priority, i couldnt care less for range.

Great axe, Flail, Halberd, Crossbow, Ball and chain, (on land) spear.

Just a few things could be added. I would certainly like it even if they just gave a different animation and not a huge gameplay difference.
