Guild Wars 2

What with the elite specialisations that are to be implemented on to the classes in the game, I’m curious to hear if there’s viability in there eventually being the option for all weapons to become available to every class, with each weapon obviously having different skills for each respective class. Perhaps in a number of cases how the weapons are used could be radically different, for example, how the mesmer currently uses the greatsword in an unconventional ranged weapon role in comparison to other classes.
I understand that this isn’t a simple matter, and would require considerable effort, but I do think it’s workable.

I’m pretty sure this has been discussed before and they said that there was where they were going before, if ever they do bring in new weapons. I mean the option would certainly give them plenty of viable specializations to think about.

I couldn’t see anything on those lines, but admittedly, I only went back a few pages.
That is good news, though. I would love to be able to wield GS/swords on an Engi. Would be interesting to see what sort of functions/skills they’d have for them.

The problem I see is this. There are X number of weapons. Some professions have access to more of them than others. Elite specs add one weapon per profession. So, more weapons, sure. All weapons for all professions… do the math.

It wouldn’t be that hard to do a workaround. Sure Warrior probably has access to many more weapons than most classes. So all they need to do for the other classes to balance it out is add perhaps an extra 1 weapon here and there to each Spec, say Engi could get 2 weps to use one update while warrior gets one, etc. They wouldn’t even have to tie them to specs all the time either.
