Guild Wars 2

I know this is just expeculation and most likely than not the skills we might see are utilities with; “passive: take 1% less damage from lords and veterans, active: does 5% more damage to lords and veterans for 10 seconds” but wouldnt it be neat if Eles finally get their GS and we combine the skills together and make a new elite?

A man can only dream…. ahhhh!

What are the skills or weapons YOU would like to see?

What’s more is that the team is also working very hard in finding a way to make it so that every profession has access to every weapon and their own weapon skills for those previously locked weapons.

That would be AMAZING if we got GS as a pure damage full melee weapon (unlike dagger which is semi-melee with condition damage), but I doubt it. We’ll probably just get extra utility skills (which is also cool because our entire line of normal conjures and glyphs are pure trash outside of very situational uses).

Yes, I want Greatsword for all of my characters! Hahah.

Elementalist with dual Swords would be awesome too.

If eles get a new weapon, I don’t expect it will be a type we “technically” have access through with conjures. I’m thinking swords.

Personally I would rather not see yet another profession running around with greatswords. That would mean 5 out of 8 professions would probably be using them most of the time (aside from Ranger that you don’t see using it that often). I’m not going to run in here with my head exploding if it happens. If it does I hope it doesn’t make some annoying high pitched sound like Mesmer. I love playing my Mesmer but put myself at a slight disadvantage because I refuse to use a greatsword due to the sound it makes.

Give them a mace instead.

I hope elementalists don’t get any new weapon – that would introduce too many new skills to the game in a very short time (20 skills or more for a greatsword), and ArenaNet cannot balance even what is currently there.

I wouldn’t mind if elementalists got a new Conjure skill, though. That would add more variety through a somewhat more controlled option.

Personally i find GS fitting eles, the even when they have a conjured weapon, I would like to see eles being able to use more than just fire, also, GS have the best skins in game for weapons, so thats a BIG plus

i kinda hoped they were talking about new utility skills…

They are talking about utility and elite skills. Ignore the people above you

They are talking about new skills, period. Do we have any clarification where Anet’s said they’ve ruled out the possibility of giving new weapons to existing professions?

Ele has three letters in it, subtract the third letter and you get two.
Two equals separate halves, separate halves equals a whole.
Thief Off Hand Sword Confirmed.

Sorry, my “they” refers to Anet, not the people in this topic. My apologies for the confusion

How many Ele greatsword topics have you made now?

Oh hahaha, sorry but yeah, that’s what I thought. Also I hope my comment wasn’t seen as harsh- all too common on the intrawebz -I just wanted to get to the point XD

I really don’t think any other classes will get GS/sword because we already have 4 classes which use them. Before giving gs/sword to another class, they will give you some other weapons. (hammer mabye?)

everyone will get all weapons! I really hope this is true! If it is then i might get to finally wear sunrise on my ele!

They just fixed ele mobility OPness…lets hope they don’t add GS as a weapon and re-break it.

I hope Eles don’t get a GS. And tbh, I don’t think they will. First of all it doesn’t fit in at all with the lore, and secondly knowing Eles the GS build would probably make them even more OP. I hope Anet focus on giving attention to professions that need the most help – i.e. Rangers and perhaps Engis.

Instead of giving the current weapons to additional professions, I’d love to see some additional weapons added, plus new slottable skills for the current weapons. Like we can change our utilities, it would be nice to be able to switch some skills with your weapon too.

From new weapons, a battleaxe (2-handed) and a crossbow stand out as missing currently.

Everyone seems to be running around with a GS, it’s time to buff the other weapons a bit.

Maybe we might even get new weapon types to go with them (eventually).
Can anyone say two handed axe or polearm?

I hope they don’t add greatsword to elementalist.

Greatsword is a powerful melee weapon and also dangerous to use for a cloth user. Mesmer using one is almost bad enough.

Scepter on a Warrior?

No.

I’d like GS on ele too.
Sword also….

Ooh polearms! They should give plenty of room for different looking skins too! Yes, please

Wethospu.6437:

Scepter on a Warrior?

No.

Maybe as a short/melee range cattle prod kinda thingee?

So that we can herd cows? I admit that has been missing from the game.

Lol, everyone professions wants GS. That way everyone can show off their Great big Giant Shiny. pfff

Wethospu.6437:

So that we can herd cows? I admit that has been missing from the game.

Well, no, it’s not missing. There is indeed cow herding – and plenty of it! – over in Ascalon.

But I was thinking more along the lines of, say…

Sword/Scepter Warrior: Slash! Parry! ZAP!
Foe (not necessarily bovine): Aiee! /e fall over dead (but still twitching)

if you’ve done the priory mission ghost rite you’ll see why ele’s can never get a GS

I remember that transformation being cooler. Didn’t your character also used to grow into a giant?

Thief Off Hand Sword Confirmed.

The instant I saw “Ele has three letters in it”, I was looking for the Half Life 3 Confirmed at the end. You are tricky my friend. Very, very tricky.

I’d like to see some new weapons work outside of the norm, like mainhand torches and shields.

Wethospu.6437:

Scepter on a Warrior?

No.

Hey now, in GW1 a Warrior could use a Wand.

Mesmer:

Main Hand Pistol – Medium/Fast paced, single target ranged damage, #2 Rapid Fire, #3 ?

Farzo.8410:

Did you know Elementalists already have a greatsword?

It’s called conjure fiery greatsword. Note the word greatsword.

If that elite was trashed and simply made into a weapon set. I would like my elementalist a lot more than I do now.

this is the best news since game was launched. been asking for this since forever. Gimme pistol main hand on mez!!!

900 range
Medium fire rate
medium damage
Skill 1: Bleed target on hit for 3sec, clones using this skill apply bleeding for 1sec.
Skill 2: Displace time around you and summon a clone (Mirror Images effect/target loss for the opponent), 8sec CD.
Skill 3: Unload your pistol (not rooted animation) on your target hitting 6 times, the first hit is 1stack of confusion for 3sec, 2nd hit is burning for 2sec, 3rd hit is poison for 3sec (same thing for the next three hits), you also evade attacks for 1/2sec. Skill CD between 13-15sec.

most of you guys are asking for weapons on professions that would just not fit. I have heard people mentioning staff on rangers? mace on eles? just….no.

Just yes.

mace on ele sure wouldn’t fit but staff on ranger? c’mon now it fits perfectly. Ranger commands spirits lol how is staff not fitting?

Would give the Ranger a shamanistic set of abilities!

It doesnt fit at all to me. rangers are about nature and using the surroundings, not spell casting.

TomTom.2819:

They can summon nature spirits and cast lighting (Lightning Reflexes).

wow, then give scepters to warriors please. End of the day, we all can use all weapons but with different skill trees. a little lame, no uniqueness to each class

Look, it is not like I want GS or anything tbh, but it is a fact that GS has some (if not the best) skins in games, legendaries, non-legendaries, animations-wise, particles-wise, coolness-wise.

Everyone wants a GS because they look cool. I want a GS myself too!

Don’t need more GS classes. idk why people cream their loins so hard over them. Other weapons need moar attentionz. c.c

Yes, I knew every much of the conjure utilities, and I still think it’s fail that cloth professions should be running around with a greatsword.

it just highlights some of the weapon skins are not so good.

Except they could use very viable Staff builds in GW1.

You could give warriors a weapon that would be viable in high-end SPvP. Also Shield main hand I think is a wonderfull idea, however the last thing we need is more bunkers so yeah. And if you guys want a funny combination, give elementalists pistols and rifles, and sylvari a flamethrower elite. And since I’m talking about elites, I want to mention that elementalists have a lack of underwater-ones. So give us some new elite please.
