Guild Wars 2

Hello,

Just a quick suggestion – It’s probably been mentioned before, but the search function is 404’ing right now so I couldn’t check.

I think a nice addition to the current combat would be an (almost) purely cosmetic ‘unarmed’ weapon, just for messing around in low level zones and for RP purposes.

The skillset would be dependant on race, not profession, and would deal direct damage only – No conditions/stuns/blocks/evades or anything like that to make sure unarmed does not require balancing or affect PvP/PvE as-is. The direct damage produced by the skills should be smaller than or equal to using a “level 0” white weapon on your character.

The skills could use some existing animations (i.e. Kick, along with the animations from the Rampage elite #1 skill chain.) and some new ones; punching, scratching (for Charr), headbutting, maybe some jumping kicks for the Asura, whatever “fits” with that race’s style, basically.

I’d be interested to see if anyone else is interested in this.

For what? To kill Zhaitan with bare hands?

What, exactly, is an unarmed weapon?
…you could always roll an engi with no m/oh weapons equipped – just utility goggles, battering ram and rocket boots – and use tool-belt skills alone.

I guess what I mean by “unarmed” weapon is that it would sill have to be classified as a weapon for the game to assign skills to it.

The point of this is for:

A) RP reasons. Personally I don’t RP, but I can see this being useful to those who do.

B) Generally being a badkitten. When playing with friends on my norn/charr warriors in low level zones it’s fun to use the rampage elite and… rampage through the zone using only your fists; sadly the elite is on a long CD.

Why not! It would make a good challenge, similar to how people have done runs of other dungeons with no armour etc.
