Guild Wars 2

Just a fun little post.
If you were to add a weapon to the game,
1) What would you add?
2) What Class would it be for?
3) Some possible Skills or Mechanics?
4) What would you like the Legendary to look like? Unique effects?

1.
Personally I would love to see a 1 handed Spear/Javelin that I could use Mainhand and Offhand on land.

2.
I’d want it on my ranger of course but you could add it to most classes honestly especially Guardian and Warrior.

3.
For ranger it could be a Pure power single target close to mid range weapon, have a mixture of say 900 range skills and Melee range skills, some nice lockdown, I.e Cripple/immobilize etc.

4.
Leaving the Gw2 universe a bit, I’d want the Legendary to be Zeus’s Thunderbolt, a Spear made of pure white lightning, maybe the Sound effect of Thunder cracking as you throw it or even the bolt arcing and zig zagging on the way to the Target.
Of course for the sake of the universe you could name it something generic like Wrath of the Gods or something seeing as “Bolt” is taken.

Now I’d love to see what everyone comes up with.

So what you want is a Paragon with Spear of Lightning.

Exactly so, I miss my Paragon :P

Nothing original here, but I’d add the whip. Give it to rangers, thieves, and…necros? Not sure on the last one. It’d definitely fit rangers well. Could be a good CC/Control weapon and would be great for that Indiana Jones sort of flavor.

@ the spear suggestion…idk. It always bothered me to see a character throw their huge spear at an enemy, then to get another one out of thin air. I mean, it’s bad enough that guns and bows never run out of ammo, but when it’s a huge frikkin’ spear, that’s just too much of a stretch for me, lol.

1h Crossbow:
Used by Guardians/Warriors/Rangers/Engineers
spread multiple conditions on up to 5 targets, another that shoots aoe water field heals at short range.
Legendary could look like the repeater crossbow from Van Helsing.

I’ve always wanted an animated thunderbolt-like staff for my elementalist. I remember there was some code for something like it on the GW2 Reddit at some point, but I guess it never made it in game.

Shame really :-( would make an AMAZING staff skin in my opinion. I know I would save up for one.

Edit: like this but longer and whiter (like the chaos weapons sort of glow)

[&AgE/wAAA]

I’ve been thinking this one quite a bit. Here are my suggestions:

Battleaxe – Essentially a two handed axe. Warriors, Guardians and Necromancers (with some scythe-ish skins for necros).
Playstyle would be very DPS oriented with fewer control options than Hammer, and fewer mobility options than Greatsword.

Hand Crossbow – One handed ranged weapon. Engineers, Thieves (both hands) and Rangers.
Playstyle would be a slow, but heavy hitting ranged weapon.

Quarterstaff – Two handed melee-style weapon for Elementalists and Mesmers.

On top of that I would love to see current weapons expanded to the existing professions.

Rifles for Rangers, Shortbows for Warriors, Axes for Thieves, Maces for Rangers, Hammers for Necros, Longbows for Elementalists, Any melee weapon for Engineers, Daggers for Mesmers and Warhorns for Guardians.

Flail and Halberd

I could totally go for the halberd in lieu of the battleaxe, yes.

i dont know about new weapons but i would love to see some new skins added to the game

1) various skins of the same weapon→but with better appearance for specific classes
example: A prismatic staff for a ele, a skull staff for necro, and a shiny crystal ank on top of the staff for guardians that lights up as you spam 1

2)Add gw1 skins into gw2 ! It was super cool to be able to equip a scepter/focus with different styles that says “i am a necromancer and i wield this claw scepter and a skull focus”

1) What would you add?
2) What Class would it be for?
3) Some possible Skills or Mechanics?
4) What would you like the Legendary to look like? Unique effects?
