Guild Wars 2

1. I don’t like that each weapon has only 5 skills and is supposed to do this or that, for example: if I want to play as a warrior with 2 swords i have to go with condition builds. What if I don’t like it? What if I want to make a cool-looking warrior wielding 2 swords but don’t like warrior sword’s gamestyle?
In this game I can’t choose a weapon I want and a build I want. I have to choose a weapon I like and then choose build that synergizes well or vice versa: choose a build and than find a weapon combination that suits it well.

I can’t make a bursting warrior with swords, I have to use axes or GS. But I don’t like them! Or If I try to level as elementalist I should go D/D or at least use scepter in MH. Tried leveling with staff, it’s doable but painful. Staff is supposed to be a supportive AoE weapon, used mostly in the endgame. When I make an elementalist I don’t want to play as some fire ninja with daggers or something.

It would be nice to see some weapons skills pools for different weapons, so I could choose a weapon because I like, not because I must.

2. Dual wielding animations are stupid in most cases: usually my character uses only MH weapon, while OH is just there, fancy looking. It really ruins DW for me beacuse there is no difference in sword+shield, sword+focus or sword x2 etc.

The additional weapons seems more like a weird looking focus. It’s especially painful with a mesmer, where he uses second sword only to block attacks.

Tl;dr I can’t use a weapon type I want( want to be a DPS warrior? go only axes or GS. want to use controling abilities? use hammer or mace) and dual wielding animations are stupid( I only use a weapon I wield in right hand mostly.)

I understand where you’re coming from, and you make some good points. It would be nice if the character used both weapon on auto attack (thief D/D, warrior S/S, mesmer S/S). However, I don’t find myself having that big of an issue with it.

Maybe it was just unfair to balance as that should mean extra DPS for auto attack from a mesmer using S/S instead of S/F as you wouldn’t use focus for melee. Then you’re just adding in animation without actually contributing anything.

I wish they would have made weapons as flexible as traits and skills. Would like to see you have to pick 5 skills out of, say, 15 available.

Skills 1-3 only use the main hand because the off-hand can be different/not there at all. It would kind of ridiculous to swing a warhorn or an “air-sword”.

So far this is my only big complaint. I’d like to run around with with a shield and sword on my Guardian, because well that just feels right to me, but I want the utility of Staff as I’m already addicted to it’s usefulness. Would be nice to have weapon skill traits to swap them out.

I would really like to be able to use Meteor shower, Stealth and Phantasm on my warrior.

Why can’t I?

Please make all skils availaible to everyone.

While hilarious, this isn’t really what we are talking about. Heck don’t even trait the weapon skills, just give me a skin I can use to change a staff into a sword or something.

Although unintentionally what you suggested would be great to just see what’s happening in other classes shoes :P

Let’s work on your reading comprehension skills first, then we’ll talk about the rest of the skills.
