Guild Wars 2

I just wanted to start this topic out of curiosity to know what other people have in their wish list for the future.
So, what weapon would you guys like to get for your class(es) when arena net decides to introduce the second round of elite specs? probably in the next expansion if we get one.

for me i would love to see rifle Ranger, just because i love rifles in game, i love Ranger; and there is not enough classes using rifles!

Main hand pistol Mesmer, the idea of a Mesmer gunslinger using dual pistols have always been hovering in my mind, and i think it would be cool.

And rifle thief, i imagine it would be sort of a stealthy sniper.

As you can see i am a big lover of rifles and pistols XD.

Disclaimer!
the idea of this thread is just to say what weapons we hope or want, not exactly the ones we believe are the most possible ones to be added.

edit:
changed the title! i hope is not misleading anymore XD bad english

I’d like to see two-handed axes in this game

nunchucks. for everything. Had dual swords for Leo, dagger-daggers that look like sai for Raph, we’re getting melee staff with HoT for Donnie… I need nunchucks.

Instead of new weapon types or old weapon types on new classes I would like to see some sort of swapable weaponskills. Like the #2 of a weapon can be 3 different skills, and you could mix and match the weaponskills to your liking.

Currently when a class runs a certain weapon, it is very likely just a single build which makes that weapon useful.

While I don’t expect to see core profession get new weapons with the advent of elite specs, the list of cool, thematic mixes of profession is endless. My top picks for each profession~

• Engineer — Mace. The little one handed hammer perfect for making adjustments to persnickety hardware.
• Elementalist —main-hand Sword. Lots of fun mage-swordsman archetypes.
• Guardian — terrestrial Spear. Paragons. ’Nuff said.
• Mesmer — main-hand Pistol. Woo-hoo! Hexslingers!
• Necromancer — mainhand Pistol. Mmm… Deadshot.
• Ranger — Rifle. Modern hunters lurking in the underbrush.
• Thief — off-hand Mace. Give me some skull-thumping thug.
• Warrior — main-hand pistol. The Pact is filled with pistol + warhorn tacticians. Gimme.

I would love it if Daredevil gets to use a staff that doesn’t recycle the hammer wielding stance. so lazy.

Since I have come to accept that our class seems to be about off-hand diversity of weapons, I expect the same to happen in the next expansion. So for a new weapon type, I am calling the next one: Warhorn. There are still off-hand weapons, what the ‘theme’ of the weapon would be I am unsure. In my heart, I wish for pistol mainhand more than anything though.

Main Hand Sword for Elementalist. It would be really cool to have a magic swordsman type and it would definitely make for an interesting Elite spec.

Mesmer – Mainhand Pistol or Dagger. Some kind of Spellblade/Arcane Thief type of character.

Ranger – Mainhand Dagger. Survivalist. This class could do with some decent melee attacks.

Necro – Sword or Mace mainhand. Would enable transformation into a Death Knight instead of shroud or Lich form.

A nuke which can only be used once a month in pvp…..that way I can finally feel like I’ve achieved something in a pvp match!

Ok no I’ll be serious for a second.

Warriors can use both guns and blades right? (you know where this is going). I reckon we should have a Gunblade like the old Final Fantasy games. There should be a weapon swap option BUT on both rotations it should be mixed between gun and sword attacks (two sword, two gun abilities).

Other weapon idea: Knuckle-duster with some crazy designs like spikes, blades, knuckles on fire, etc.

You guys will probably think these are complete rubbish ideas but I’ve thrown them out there anyway

Engi – Tommy Gun. We need to finally have a good burst weapon and I think this would be the perfect way to go. :P

Edit: your title is misleading as you are not asking for “new” weapons at all. You are asking for future Elite specialisations since they would be using “Current” weapons.

I still want an Arsonist Thief Spec that main-hands Torch.

Shortbow for my Mesmer…for the pure reason of having 3 other me’s murdering things with Unicorns.

Heh heh, now that sounds like a lot of fun! Yes it’s about time that we get to be able to main hand a few of the offhand weapons. (Drools) at the thought of Engi main-handing Shield and being called the riot control or some such!.

To op: Thanks for the title change!

Rifle for Thief.

Rifle or Main and Offhand Pistols for Rangers.

Let’s get serious and have a Legendary Vuvuzela! It’s would be the ultimate WvW Taunt. “Someone kill that guy!”

How about some Castanets too? That actually might be exciting if we just had a Dancer classes from Final Fantasy Tactics.
- " Dancer job command. Perform mysterious dances to create unusual effects."
- Last Dance: The ultimate dance. Drops the Charge Time of all enemies to zero.

Nah, being more serious I’d really like to see something like a javelin.

Elite skill – forget turning people into moas when this class gets “Dance Party” – all enemies in range dance for 30 secs, and combat does NOT break it!

Reminds me of this

Most classes are fairly well provided with weapons, it’s really pointless giving ranger a rifle as it has many suitable ranged weapons anyway. It is also outside the Ranger ethos. Main hand dagger might be an option. Skill 1, evade while attacking. Skill 2, poison, immobilize, stun, bleed, etc, etc, your foe. Skill 3, evade backwards while gaining invisibility for 10 seconds.

There could be a few unusual options where offhand is used as main, such as main hand shield, Warrior? or torch, Guardian?

Engineer really needs an alternate underwater weapon. Trident?

Elementalist, off hand sword?

Thief, mace, either hand.

Then you could have some class specific weapons such as a bullwhip for Mesmer or Ranger?

A proper scythe for Necro would be interesting but would create a new weapon.

Any class – Longbow.
I’m in love with the longbow skins and was sooo happy the Guardian got it. My current favorite class with my favorite weapon = yum! =)

I’ve got to admit, a scythe would fit a Necro much better for Reaper. Part of me wonders if they’ll re-appear with Elona in the future…

Technomancy for engineers! Would be so amazing!
I imagine engineers drawing magical energy from their enemies to charge their technical attacks. This could even make some sort of upkeep system available for engi:)

Ever since i played Kingdoms of Almur I’VE wanted to see Chakrams in other games. They are the coolest weapon I’ve seen in a game.
