Polearm
I like the weapon…but not sure what you mean by “scholar professions”…
Elementalist
Mesmer
Necromancer
Elementalist
Mesmer
Necromancer
Mages…gotcha…that would just be weird imo…
Could definitely see guardians with this weapon…
Polearm….
Halberd
Spear
Pike
Glaive
Pollaxe
Naginata
These are by definition, not magical weapons, so why would only the Scholar professions be using them? I could see any class using any one of these, especially since some classes could use them like a Martial(close range) weapon, some classes could use them to throw like a Javelin, or both at the same time. Some classes would use them like its a Magic weapon (like how the mesmer uses greatswords). I guess Anet will tell us when they feel like putting them in the game.
Before we get new weapons, Arenanet is planning on giving professions access to more of the current weapons in addition to new skills.
The only major problem is that the Elementalist and/or Engineer would still get far fewer than other professions because they get more from each skill/weapon (Elementalist gets 4x more attacks for each weapon than other professions and Engineer can potentially get 6 skills off of one utility).

I wasn’t saying just scholar professions would use it, I was thinking more like a monk’s style of fighting. If they were to use them in I could see all the professions using them in some way.
