Best Class for Each Weapon
The Wrong Crowd [bAd] Yak’s Bend
One problem with your proposal: Ele and Engi can only use one weapon.
Interesting idea: Here’s my contribution —
Warrior: Greatsword + Rifle
Ranger: Longbow + sword/torch
Guardian: Hammer + mace/shield
Thief: dagger/pistol + shortbow
Necro: Scepter / focus + axe/warhorn
Ele : Staff
Some aren’t (pre – HOT) meta, but it’s pretty close.
Well, not warrior with rifle, so that leaves engineer. However if you give the warrior longbow as a ranged weapon then your ranger can’t have one, which may or may not be important to you.
Dagger is really good on necro, imo, so giving it to ele means you’re not using an interesting playstlye on your necro, and vice versa for that matter. And if you get a thief, daggers are frequently used on that profession.
Your guardian has no ranged weapons with your set up. Sometimes you need one, if only to kite while your health is low and your heal is on cooldown.
Give it a try. You can always have a rule of these weapons this week and those weapons next week to switch out and still only have one weapon per char.
ANet may give it to you.

My was essentially this -
Warrior: Sword/Horn + Greatsword [Or hammer],
Ele: Staff
Guardian: Scepter+Focus / Staff
Necro: Greatsword/Axe+focus [Staff/Scepter+Focus]
Engineer: Hammer
rev: Sword/shield, and hammer.

Pursuant to the OP, my goal was to use all weapons, with as few classes as possible, with as few repeats as possible, and as close to the meta as possible. I think that’s pretty close.

Ok.
My post was directed towards the OP though.
ANet may give it to you.
Mesmer- Greatsword / Sword + Shield (Sub for focus)
Guardian- Sceptre + Torch / Longbow (Sub for Greatsword)
Warrior- Axe + Mace / Rifle
Engineer- Hammer (sub for Pistol – X)
Thief- Dagger + Pistol / Shortbow
Necro- Axe + Focus / Staff
I think they cover all terrestrial weapons…
I’d recommend getting HoT if you want to have a character for each weapon as it makes it easier, giving you an extra weapon choice.
