Guild Wars 2

new weapon game Two-handed axe

It’s very helpful, when making a suggestion, if you explain why you want it: what would be fun about a new weapon? Why is it more interesting than, say, a new map, or new fractal?

/signed. Love the view of 2handed axes.

What professions would get it? Why? What would it change about the game that can’t be already achieved with other weapons? What lore reasons would there be for those classes to use it? What skills would be associated with the weapon?

Hammers are the Two-handed axe in this game. GW2 did a cover all system where one wepon covers a lot of wepon types. Hammers are Gaxes GS are polarms on these lines.
There even a hammer called such and such axe.

I personally want to see a Halberd of some sort. I dont know if AN is experiementing with the idea or not but they are present with npcs in lake doric. Could be a hybrid with 2 handed axes to where both weapons fall under the same category, no way to know.

(I think a polearm, banner guardian would be really interesting but just my opinion)

Discussed a lot of times.
IMO, 2handed axes should just be skins for 2handed hammer.
Why?
- So there is more option to use them, easier to implement and sooner to get.
- It’s not that different from hammer, (heavy, melee, 2 sides attack area in the end of a long handle)
- They don’t add anything new.

If they were to add new weapons, I prefer they add something truly interesting and novel. (Chain/lasso weapons, 2handed magical orb/tome/thing, Throwing star/knife/chakram/boomerang) Etc.

ehhh when we see the new maps be farmed by bots only a week later, yes i can say i prefer a new weapon that creates a new playstyle and new roles (possibly) for the classess that have it.
