Guild Wars 2

Hey everyone (and hopefully Arenanet),

I’d like to suggest, and vote for (as I’m sure it has been suggested before), the implementation of two-handed weaponry to go with the idea of added skills and traits.

I think that it’s a missing component of the game, as all other weapon types have their two-handed counterpart (sword, mace).

Moreover, it would add more variety to playing a warrior/guardian, or other class that could potentially wield it. The heavy classes more as they rely on their use of weaponry more than utility skills.

Since I saw the announcement of guild wars 2, and the warrior class, I always imagined a brute norn warrior with a two-handed axe, and I think that now is the perfect time to start implementing it (as the last update was announcing added skills, etc.)

Thanks for reading.

Can’t wait to see what you guys think!

I can only see the warrior and maybe the necromancer(think angel of death/DK)using 2h axe. Not guardians, axes are too barbaric.

Hmm yeah, I could understand that, as guardians are the ‘cleaner’ class.

I think the skills of Maul is good enough for two handed axes /war axe/
Just need skins that look more axe than hammer like.

Actually, the maul does not suffice for a two handed axe. You don’t knockback or knockdown with a war axe, you have more bleed/slicing techniques. As Anet wants to add more skills, this is an opportunity.

Please don’t simply deny the idea because you wouldn’t USE it, as other people might without interfering with your gameplay.

A simple skin wouldn’t add the whole two-handed axe element to the game.

Thats true Nymru. Anyway, new weapons/wider scale of useable ones is a must-have.
Mine was only a quick solution for you ^^

Great axe for wars olny as exclusive wep please.
