Currently this is the only Greataxe in the game but there is one. Can we get one for combat please?

I’d rather be playing the game than writing this post.

Are you asking for greataxe as a hammer skin, for use with hammer skills, or as its own weapon type? It might work really well as a hammer skin.

If the latter, would it be better to add greataxes, or to keep opening up existing weapon types to new classes? Greataxes are cool, but all of their skins would have to be created from scratch, while any existing weapon benefits from a large back-catalog of skins.

I think if they were to add new weapons, this would be one of the easiest AND best, if not the best, weapon to start with. I 100% support greatxes!

Side note: The greataxe is the sole reason I played ff: arr … beastmode maurader.

Back on topic: I hope someday we may see these in game, but not holding my breathe. The game is pretty mature now and core changes (new races, weapon types, skills and build/talent tree, game modes) will probably not occur that much if at all.

We’d probably see it as a skin longer before as a weapon.

My roommate has said to me on multiple occasions that if a great axe skin were available on the hammer, he’d drop all other weapons and play just the hammer. Seriously.

@Hexinx we saw a new class released 3 years after launch, along with elite specs. I think those are on the same level of core changes as introducing a new weapon to the game

Yes true, I just think it will be unlikely. After implementing elite class specs, I can see them just adding more elite specs. Personally I have been hoping for the return of the tengu, but again … won’t hold me breathe. I mean in gw1 they were fierce. I love the greataxe idea … it’s one of my favourite weapons in mmo’s. I just don’t think we will see many core changes versus new content.

if new weapons are created, i think some of them should be reserved for core specs.

They don’t need to add new weapons, just skins for current ones. A greataxe skin on a greatsword or hammer would do perfectly. We have scythe skins for staves after all. In fact, the Mordrem Axe used by Axemaster Hareth was going to be a hammer skin but got changed for some reason.

Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death.

Skin would be better than nothing, and adding a new 2H axe to the game would be awesome.

Polearm was considered during development. Closest thing to a greataxe.
There was ingame codes for a polearm weapon years ago.
