Adding existing weapons to professions
That would be nice to see or at least have them say there is no update. The article you might be thinking of is this one from 2013.
My engineer wants a wrench, a hammer, and a bazooka please!
All of those NPC necros seem to get to use GS, my necro wants one too! Actually I’d prefer a Great Axe like the executioner axe toy, but I’ll take a GS instead.
I guess we will see this either only in an Expasion like 2015, or maybe in the next 3rd Feature Pack.
Considering that the last Feature Pack was September and the first one was in April – range between them 5 Months, so roughly an half year, I guess we might see the next one first in February to March 2015, if ANet keeps this pace so further in the future bringing FP’s this way in a kind of constant every 5 Months.
Adding to all Classes like 2 more Weapons (thus giving them new Weapon Skills would be already more than enough of a big Task, not to forget all the Game Balancing that automatically comes together with that too)
From the existing Weapons I’d like to see this just happening:
Engineer: Hammer + Maces
Warrior: Torch + Staff
Thief: Staff + Longbow (+Offhand Sword Exception)
Mesmer: Rifle + Warhorn
Necromancer: Greatsword + Torch
Guardian: Axes + Offhand Sword/Mace
Ranger: Staff + Shield
Elementalist: Sword + Shield
@ CMM: Get a rifle with the Charrzooka Skin. Tada

Me too! My necro says yes please.
And duel axes on my mes while we’re at it.
And a sniper rifle on my thief (to be just that much more annoying)
A warrior, thief and ranger with staff…u sure abt that ?:o
Warrior have enough of weapons so 0 for them
Guardians: Rifle, 2h axe, rework hammer
….
Mesmer needs mace/axe. we already have ranged weapons, and one melee wep thats been nerfed so the point of meh
I would love a melee dual axe alternative for rangers.

Whenever people bring up the possibility of non-magical classes using staffs, I like to think of it this way: you don’t have to use a staff for magic, same as you don’t have to use a greatsword for slashing.
The Mesmer’s use of the greatsword shows us that weapons can have vastly different applications and uses. So, as far as staff goes, it’s possible a thief, warrior, or ranger could use it as a melee weapon (as it would in martial arts).

From this point of view i agree
Ranger : Rifle
Guardian : Great Axe
Warrior : Great Axe
Necro : Great Sword, Great Axe
Mesmer : Dagger Dagger
Elementalist : Sword
Theif : Crossbow
Engineer : Sniper Rifle, Mace, Torch, Howitzer, Air Strike

Yeah, I had to wonder if Marjory getting the Belinda-ghost greatsword might pave the way for GS-wielding Necros and heralding in new class/weapon combinations.
I doubt it, but I’m bouncy at the thought nonetheless.
