Guild Wars 2

These are weapons unique to the profession.

Necromancer: Scythe.

Ranger: Whip (Mainhand), Whip (Offhand.)

Warrior: Ball and Chain.

Guardian: Halberd.

Engineer: Bike (Yes, its an actual motor bike.)

Thief: Claw (Mainhand), Claw (Offhand.)

Elementalist: Handwrap (Mainhand.), Handwrap (Offhand.) (these are just runic gloves.)

Mesmer: Metal Fan (Mainhand), Metal Fan (Offhand.)

There is scythe skin for staff, ball and chain is called Flail, you cant fight with motorcycle, whip can not be dual wielded anyway if they introduce it sometime, Handwarp, just no it should be orb, Metal fan? i think they brought in focus to take fan’s place and to be more suitable to other profs like guardian as you never see a soldier running with a fan.

Lol @ the bike. People already don’t want mounts and you want to come blazing in on a motorcycle/weapon

Did someone say motorcycle?

Fan, yes please.

Thief – Claw? Meh, seems more like an assassin-y weapon. How about a Blackjack? It could cause stun and knockdown.

Whip offhand seems most appropriate; probably say the same of Fan for the Mesmer – offhand.

I like the Orb suggestion for Elementalist – maybe have if float around your character when it’s equipped offhand.

Motorcycle for the Engineer seems like a silly weapon choice; this class actually has most of its iconic weapons covered.

Absolutely no motorcycle for an Engineer, or any profession for that matter.

In Yakuza 3, you can pick up a motorcycle and clobber dudes over the head with it. :-)

But, with regards to your topic: uh… why should the game limit any weapons to a single profession? I don’t see how this improves anything.

Agreed, i mean there is already different skills for same weapon on difference character, so in that regard it is already different weapons gameplaywise

motorcycle’s not much of a weapon…

Why not a wrench?

a crowbar?

Actually, the entire concept of Tessenjutsu (a Japanese art) is combat using metal fans. Thus, I’d have to say that soldiers (of at least one culture) managed to make it work. And, I’d lay money on at least some Krytans having Canthan ancestry. (Canthan, of course, being your “lore-Asian” human subrace.)

Samurai actually used what was known as a warfan, it was a fan with metal spines that ended in knife edges, they used it to block weapons. Samurai in court, and courtesans both also used them for self defence as you never knew if the fan was a war fan or a bamboo one.
Given that samurai were so deadly that they held off soldiers with rifles for several years in Japan, hard to call them anything else but badkitten soldiers. (yes I typed kitten rather than having the forum auto do it)

I want pistols for Guardies

#1: Ricochet – bouncing attack like ele staff (air) or thief shortbow
#2: Hot Shot – sets target on fire. Hard to evade
#3: Executioner – channeled, high damage attack. The less HP the target has, the faster it channels

that idea is so stupid it beat the max level of stupidness, no offence but a heavily armed guy shouldn’t be holding 300g pistol

Its not a mount per say, its a weapon that cures movement conditions, has a lot of mobility skills and grants perm swiftness.

Engineers can already get permaswift very easily if they have even one kit, using the speedy kits trait. Medkit plus speedy kits (stimulant plus constant kit switch) is full swiftness, having just speedy kits is theoretically permaswift, though often drops swift for a few frames every 5 seconds due to imperfect timing.

Who cares what those nay sayers say.
Do you even remember what the entrance to divinitys reach looks like?

Personally I’m sick of having to switch a utility with a 25% speed boost to something more useful everytime I’m about to get into combat.

And WvWvW, who are we kidding, that place is HUGE if you get wiped, you have to wp and run all the way back again.

Its annoying.

And they’re not mounts.
They’re more along the lines of an OOC Speed Boost with a visual aesthetic.
