Guild Wars 2

War Fan (Tessen) were folding fans with outer spokes made of heavy plates of iron which were designed to look like normal, harmless folding fans or solid clubs shaped to look like a closed fan. Samurai could take these to places where swords or other overt weapons were not allowed, and some swordsmanship schools included training in the use of the tessen as a weapon (tessenjutsu). The tessen was also used for fending off arrows and darts, as a throwing weapon, and as an aid in swimming (from wikipedia)

A.Net has not ran out of realistic and traditional weapons, i really hope they do not jump into exotic territory. One weapon at a time, each weapon will have a ripple effect on class balance and builds, new traits will need added to account for new weapons. Full credit for creativity though and thought out skills.

Actually the only “traditional” weapon left is the two-handed axe and maybe a halberd (i consider it traditional at least), which i also suggested.

I would consider crossbows and knuckles traditional weapons. Maybe the quarterstaff, too. I would hope they would add katars before fans.

I forgot about the crossbows indeed, i have also made fist weapon suggestions, which includes knuckles.

Those are what i had in mind, halberd or spear/pike, Crossbow (viable ranged for guardian?) or Javalin, since they had it in GW1
