Guild Wars 2

seriously, p/p elementalist.

Why must they be hindered with primitive sticks and blades?

We roam in a game-world full of technology.

Are you saying scholars would be unable to wield elemental powers through reasonably complex machines?

You sadden me sir! you sadden me!

I’d rather see rifle before pistol, but I hope one day all weapons will have skills for all classes.

Ugh.. guns suck.

Make it NOT to happen.

OMG! This is blasphemy! @DEVs, please ignore plasmacutter.

Can we get chaps and cowboy hats too? Maybe a lasso off hand?

EDIT: Wouldn’t work. Fire and Lightning attacks would make the gun powder explode in the ele’s hand, earth would clog the barrel making the gun useless and water would spoil the gun powder so it wouldn’t ignite.

I could see a case for swords (hey if Gandolf used one…).

Gandalf. Not Gandolf. This thread is full of blasphemy!

Appologies for the misspelled name.

So you’re cool with cowboy duds? Toss in a sheriff badge amulet and a recipe for chewin tobaccy and I can totally see my Asura ele rocking the look.

While your at it, new elite: Conjure lightning pistols.

I’d settle for one pistol. Then I could pretend i’m playing a Bioshock MMO.

Pistols would completely defeat the purpose of the Ele, which is that it’s a MAGIC based class. Not a freaking pistol totting fairy cowboy.

Nooooooo! Pistols suck! And boring! Unless eles use them to whack enemies with magical elemental powders in a highly unconventional and flashy way, I really find it lame and boring seeing the same exact pew-pews coming out of pistols and bows. Adding fire or icy effects on those bullets will still be boring and sucky as hell and lame.

Nah. Leave the pistols to the ‘duelist’ sorcerers. You know who they are.

Now, Ele with -say- shortbows or mace … could be intriguing.

Of course not. If I wanted to play a steampunk character, I would have rolled an engineer. Keep contraptions away from elementalists!

Add the trident/spears as land weapons imo.
Ele with a trident would be pretty cool (though that’d basically be a staff)

I’d love to see warriors with spears running around, all hoplite-ish.

Ele’s with axes could be intriguing.

I’m disappointed in these reactions.

Think mesmer great sword, people.

Engineer proves pistol doesn’t have to mean shooting.

no thank you!!!

Yeah, because shooting acid from a pistol is sooo coool. Bleh. Gimme anything BUT pistols and rifles. 1H swords, bows, gauntlets… but not something that goes bang, because that’s what fireballs are for.

A lone Asura strides through the portal of the Golemagical Institute, spurs clinking with each step, her form outlined by the blinding setting sun behind her. She pauses just through the portal, smacks the road dust from her chaps, shifts her gun belt, and adjusts her ten gallon hat. The chaos of conversation is suddenly stilled and the crowd shuffles back until two figures face each across the research floor.

“Teyo,” the lone figure in the portal calls out, “I’m the sheriff of Metrica Province and Ima gonna bring ya and ya yella bellied Inquest Krewe in!” She pauses to spit black tobacco juice on the shin of a nearby Inquest golemn. “Live sure. Dead, well…,” she smiles cruelly, “that’s up to you.”

Teyo and the sheriff face each other across the floor. Fearful eyes in the crowd flits from one figure then to the other. A few braver Inquest souls step their leader. Teyo’s eyes squint.

The sherif smiles cruelly, “excelsior!” Elite Skill Lightning Quick Draw is activated and the rapid fire staccato of gunfire rips across the Institute.

Nine Inquest Krewe and two Inquest golems lay on the ground. Teyo drops to her knees and falls to the ground.

“You were stupid Teyo and you left a dumb corpse.”
