Guild Wars 2

I want to suggest to put the scythes back to the game, i liked them really much in GW1 (I have them all) and i would like to suggest this:

Weapon name: Scythe
Weapon level: 3-80
Weapon profession: Thief, Warrior, Guardian, Necromancer.

And maybe some skills too?

Some normal skills:

- Slash < This just slashes the enemy.
- Bloody slash < This slashes the enemy with the function to bleed the enemy.
- Poisonous slash < This slash makes the enemy poisoned
———————————————————————————————————
This above me are the automatic skills
———————————————————————————————————
- Sharpen < This is an enchantment, it sharpens your weapon for 10 – 15 damage (Depends on your level) (Not usable on pistols!)
- Enchant slash < This will remove all of your enchantments and heal yourself of the amount of the enchantments you have (Like in GW1)
- Concentration < This spell is an enchantment, it stays for 20 seconds but when unleashed it heals you for 120 health (Depends on your level)

Some Elite Skills:

- Demolish < You run upon your opponent with limited time, you have your scythe in the air to slash him. When slashed you do around 150 damage and gives bleed to the enemy. (Depends on your level)
- Reapers Scythe < This is an enchantment, this enchantment will give you for 15 seconds the change to steal someones life. Every damage steals 20 health.
- Scythe of Doom < This is more a damage type skill: It deals 350 damage on 3 targets near you and give them fear for 30 seconds.

This is where i tought of a lil bit, i hope u like it a bit. (You ofcourse may change the skills a bit or everything of the skills thats GW2 Teams choise) I hope this all will be added, ME LIKE SCYTHES.

If there are more suggestions about this tell me!

Goodluck GW2 Team and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

SORRY! I MADE THIS TOPIC 3 TIMES! I had lag sorry!!!

I’d currently only give warriors and necromancers access to this weapon. Maybe mesmers.

yeah doesn’t fit a thief or a guardian. And why would a weapon have elite skills ?

Why would warrior receive a scythe? The weapon does not seem to fit that class, Instead warriors should have Two-Handed Axes. Scythe’s IMO would only fit in with Necromancers and Theives.

How would a Two handed weapon fit a thief? Since the thief can use no actual two handed melee weapon now. In fact the only two handed weapon a thief can use is a short bow.

I see a warrior being able to use a scythe just on the premise that he is the master of all weaponry, and it would fit him better. Even though a warrior can not use a staff???? any how I see it fitting a warrior more so than a thieve that can not even use two handed melee weapons.

I would suggest that the scythe wouldn’t really fit into the game at the moment. It is too peculiar a weapon, and technically a battle axe would do its job much better. As such I would suggest instead two handed axe but with a scythe-like skin for it.

Class wise battle axe would fit Warrior, Ranger, and maybe the Necromancer or Elementalist (consider it as the Elementalist weapon for “i have a bigger stick then you do”) and if ANet felt like it the Engineer might fit as well (I see axes as a tool, not so much a weapon – it fits both as an Engineer style weapon).

Scythes fit Guardians perfectly. Look at the Dervish class. Very similar.

As a thief I would much prefer having a rifle over a scythe anyday. That of course is only down to personal taste. That said the scythe kinda goes down well witht the stealth/darkness element of the thief. If I remember correctly, a uick shadowy scythe effect is placed on the thief when shadow refuge is cast so who knows…maybe you’re right :p

Wouldnt fit warrior though, also do not forget they already got a massive repertoire of weapons at their disposal. But if ANet tried to makle it work, Im sure it would.

Necros definitely deserve one, dare I say even need one xD … Lore wise, skill wise it just makes sense.

Guardians? I dont think so and purely down to taste/my opinion but to me guardians are supposed to be paladins really, masters of support and all around good guys….so giving them a scythe with all he connotations that go with this weapon just does not sit right with me.

Mesmers ? Meh…maybe, it depends on how the weapon skills would work with the mesmer profession.

Other professions just don’t make sense to me…at all.

Scythes and Great Scythes would be amazing, sign me up.

Skills require weapons, so i tought about Elite skills which require the Scythe

And indeed Thieves can actually not wear a Scythe because its a two-handed weapon but i like the Guardian idea from Arken.3725 So i changed the ideas from professions a bit:

Weapon professions: Necromancer, Guardian

And maybe mesmers

Scythe and Necromancer but I would like to have Scythe back in the game

Which elite skills currently in GW2 require specific weapons ?

Arken.3725:

Indeed. What does the lore say about a link between Dervish and Guardian teachings ?

I can’t find it. Besides the armor, they’re both very similar.

I totally agree here this makes much more sense in my opinion. To be honest I’m still confused why they didn’t add 2 handed axes into the game in the first place.

eh, Great Axe and Scythe are very different weapons, I’d rather they not lump them together and leave Scythe a separate weapon group.

I could see Guardian using a Scythe, that’d be pretty interesting (probably more so if the Guardian wasn’t so blasted slow). I could sort of see Scythe on Necro. Some will be silly and point out the staff looking like a scythe, except they don’t then use it like one, so that’s fairly pointless, like the scythe staff skin in general; would much rather have had the staff 5 be a weapon transform that changes the staff into a scythe and changes skills 1-4 to actually use it as a scythe for 60 seconds or something (maybe they could have something like that as an elite, but it’d be easier to just give them a scythe). But regardless of how it’s achieved the scythe should actually be a slashing weapon not a pointless if nifty decoration.

It’s not like they can’t make skills for specific weapons both for 2h axes and scythes.
