Guild Wars 2

Dear Arenanet,
It just came into my mind: how does Polearm sounds for Guard and War.
I know you guys can’t make a weapon where only two classes use but I would like to see new weapons for all classes to come for more diverse weapon choices and more builds

Hope I’m not the only one who thinks of this.

bo-staff for elementalists
something like this

heavy cannon engineers…with something like horriks cannon

We had Bo Staves in GW1 though, and they functioned the same as any other staff, so it wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense :/

But I don’t think polearms are a bad idea, I’m sure you can find another profession to fit them into xD.

umm, it would make sense if they added actual bo-staff skills.. an f5 attunement exclusive to staff elementalists would be lovely

Can someone explain to me how adding “bo” in front of staff makes it different from a regular staff?

1 you whack ppl in the head with. one u make fireballs with

A staff is a staff. However, I’d like to point out that if you buy the Monkey King tonic then you, sir, have yourself a bo staff.

mostly bo staff is an attacking weapon, which you can use either side. Most of the staffs we have here act as a focus to point to things and hit them with magic.

Bo staff for martial artist proffesion! They could give it to elementalist as well.

Gunlances. I want them.

Like Longbow, shortbow, mace, hammer or rifle?

Not to be a console game fanboy or so, if people have problems finding new types of weapons, they could all have a look at the Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors series: they use soooo many different types of weapons (some of which can be considered as skins).

However, before new weapons I wouldn’t mind having more weapon options per class, either by new swappable skills on weapon sets we already have, or new combinations for each class (rifle guardian, mace engineer, etc.). Yet, I’d gladly welcome any new non-GS content

Then buy one

Kusarigama ……. there is no mid ranged melee weapon ….

and polearms could have a similar purpose

I don’t think you know how a gunlance is meant to be played. Atleast not like a rifle.

This is something that some people have suggested be the replacement for the little used mortar elite skill. Can still have a kit wide cooldown, can reduce movement speed if we need to, but it would be really nice if it were a kit rather than something that gets damaged.
