Guild Wars 2

This is not a suggestion for expansion 2 as it’s too late for that, just a discussion for the future – what new kinds of weapons would you want to see and on who in what playstyle? For me, I’d do these : scythe for open sweeping attacks, which may conflict with staff on some classes but would offer something new on classes who have staffs with magic. Next, great axe kinda like hammer or GS but with more cutting and spinning, faster rampant destruction. Similar enough to use halberd skins I think. Crossbow, for a more regulated and technological method of attack than bows, and you can always make more than 10 kinds of arrows (meaning a class can have longbow and short bow and still have crossbow). Vial, sorta like focus but more liquids, buffs, and inducing hallucinations, maybe even throwing it. Nunchucks, for swinging and beating rapidly at a short range. Possibly stunning too, since you’re hitting people with stick thingies. Shuriken/chakram or any kind of thing to be thrown, bouncing between enemies, surprise attacks bleeding stun etc. since anything throwable is possible som focus skins could reused, provided anet doesn’t use it as an excuse to make less skins for shurikens. Cestus as gauntlet type thing, melee plain old punching organic Infused punching as well as enhancing skills cast through the hands. Could replace/use close skins, finally explains why the flerperg there are so many more glove skins. Alternatively have no skins for it and gloves function normally, with strength of attacks determined by a regular weapon, but the weapon stays sheathed when using these skills. Or when these skills are toggled on the weapon gains the ability to be hidden. Lastly, I want classes with two swords to get an option to wield ONE REGULAR SWORD in two hands. Not a kitten sword or two with weird animations but ONE! The only thing it’d need is new animations and a toggle to this option somewhere. Things like holding it in front of you in combat or running with it held up at your side instead of the weird stuff there is nlw. Also for the future you can add two swords as “one” weapon to elite specs because of the two handed toggle. I wouldn’t literally hunt down, torture, and kill ANYONE for this on elementalist. That or mounts and housing too.

I really don’t think new weapon types will add anything to the game. If you want the skins that’s easy to do as existing weapon types.
