Introduce weapons to the professions.

No, Im not talking about giving warriors a scepter but I can derfinitely see a warrior wearing a staff, bo staff (look it up if you dont know what it is).

I can see elementalists wearing a ceremonial Greatsword in which they channel magic through it (as proven possible by the elite) and also Rifle/Longbow (arcane ranger).

Lets get people being able to play their favorite weapons on their favorite classes, specially since 4 classes lack the Greatsword which is the most popular weapon.

After that I think we can refocus the resources back into getting new stuff out there

I totally support having rifles on elementalists!

Visit this thread https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/Rifles-for-Elementalists/first#post2683860 for a full argument on why rifles are a great addition to the profession’s arsenal.

Good news. That’s the current plan as explicitly revealed by the developers – to add more weapons to existing classes, both by expanding their selection of current weapons, and adding totally new weapons.

Former Guild Wars 2 fan. RIP, ArenaNet’s integrity.

What I really want to see is new skills to current weapon set. In that way we could have a lot more personalization. Adding new weapons would be nice too.

Sorry for my english.

Since release, in fact 2 days before release as i was awaiting the game for nearly 2 years. Perhaps you have seen me around, I play in GoM, all my characters start with Fortus followed by something characteristic of the class or feeling of the class, main is Fortus Phoenix, a staff ele

Ahh, nope, havn’t met you in person. I think I remember you by your posts in the forums. I tend to remember small stuff like that.

Just finished reading it all. The link you provided is actually just a recap of https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/looking-ahead-guild-wars-2-in-2013/ but with some assumptions made. For example, that article explicitly stated that weapons will be introduced to each profession. However, in the second link that I provided, it doesn’t say that. Only, “new skills”.

My concern is that statement is too vague for me to take with even a grain of salt. New traits were clearly said but skills? How will skills be added? Will the existing weapons be expanded from 5 skills to 10? Stuff like that. Or will new weapons be added? Will older weapons ever be given to professions like swords and rifles on elementalists?

What I would like is a solid answer. An ETA is not necessary, just whether it’s in the works or not.

Necromancer with dual swords would be nice. Top of my wish-list.

Guild Wars 2 is not a sequel to the original Guild Wars but merely an alternative story setting.

OK found it. Nothing for sure another vague answer but this is the transcript from the livestream they had after posting the looking ahead blogpost.
http://dulfy.net/2013/07/16/gw2-colin-johanson-livestream-transcript/
he says they might do additional weapons/skills.
If you really want a dev to answer you should make a new topic or at least change the name of this topic because they have already said that they wont be focussing attention on new classes or races so i doubt any devs would look at this topic atm

Many thanks for digging it up! While it’s still slightly vague, the picture cleared up a bit. I’ll go make a thread about it and pray for a dev response.

I’m always up for more playstyles! I forgot where I read it, but in an old interview they did mention wanting to introduce new weapons to professions
