Guild Wars 2

First of all, I’m not suggesting this to be a brand new weapon. I think bringing in a few flail weapon skins for the mace would be an awesome addition to that weapon category.

Now before we start building arguments about clipping issues, I’m not asking for a five-foot long chain or anything. Just a short chain that… well… flails around when you swing it. I know there’s a Super Adventure Box mace that’s kind of like that, so it’s definitely possible to make maces into flails.

This would just be a perfect weapon for a barbarian, and a fresh look for the mace!

I think it has potential for a brand new weapon to be honest. The warrior mace has a nice block function which doesnt fit a morningstar as well. I could see this having cripple or bleeds maybe. Perhaps as part of a whip subset that could root enemies?

I agree, id equip something like this on a barbarian themed toon as well

imo a skin for that wouldnt be hard to make.. given that gw2 got quite a few weapon skins with dongly stuff on it, yea.. id like to see that stuff aswell +1

While it does have the potential to be a new weapon, I think there are other new-weapon possibilities that players would want more (i.e. crossbow, polearm, throwing spears like the paragon from GW1, battle axes, etc.). That said, however, I certainly wouldn’t object if this was made into a new weapon with its own skills, but I’ll take it as a mace skin as well.

By the way, here’s the super mace skin that I mentioned earlier. This shows that it is entirely possible to integrate flails into mace skins. It’s cool, but not exactly “barbaric,” so a further look into flails would be awesome!

I’d like to see flails and whips added as new weapon types. It would go nicely with a new expansion hint hint anet since you can’t really add new abilities, but you can add new weapons. Maybe add a caster orb for a new mainhand.
