Guild Wars 2

oh yes 2hand axe would be great

Yes. That and all kind of other weapons.

I think 2 handed axes would be a great upgrade of the game, maybe a rapier, first weapons and spear would be nice too

Yes i mentioned this already couple of weeks ago and i’d like to see one (cuz i loved great axe spam in Demon’s Souls lol). But what i really think is, its time for anet to add 1 new weapon to each class cuz i (probably many many many others) am getting tired of using same 2-4 weapons.

Im on board with the whole idea of two handed axes but the problem is which classes would be able to use them, i can only name 1 for sure maybe 2

Warrior
Ranger(Maybe)

I’d rather have bunnies, swing them around by their ears like a mace and chain.

And then of course they’d have to add a Greatbunny.

2 handed axes and katana’s, I would love if my mesmer had a two handed katana instead of a greatsword.

I’d like to see 2handed actions and more variation for the current weapontypes. Katanas would be of the two handed sword category.

Id be happy with just some skins and use GS abilities atm.

Make spears usable as 1h weapons on land as well. We already have the weapon skins for it~ I think it would be cool to have a weapon that can be used on land and in the water!

I can’t see how Norns can be Norns without two handed battleaxes

I like it, but only if they make it so you can be Axe from Dota 2. They should give warriors a new skill called “Axe Signet” with the passive effect of having a 15% chance to use cyclone axe when hit and a melee range elite that insta-gibs anyone on less than 3k hp =)

Adding a bayonet to a pistol or rifle could lead to some interesting skills.

On the OP subject, I think a 2h axe could be a skin for the greatsword, wouldn’t the fighting style be too similar?

I would love a 2h axe. I would imagine the skills attached to an axe would be pretty awesome.

Halberd/Lance > 2h Axe

I want Gauntlets, Katar, Book,

Guardian + Guantlets = Win
Thief + Katar = Win
Ele + Book = Win

2h battleaxe make a char named Gilius Thunderhead.

If anything, I’d love to see dual Katar for thief, with far less boring spam 2 button rotations, more of a combo style like GW1 sin.

ah you beat me to it

I like to see new weapons but even more i would like to see different weapons in the game open up to other classes even oddball things like war getting staff etc.. or a ele getting a hammer. I think it would add a lot to the game for chose with out needing to add in an entire new set of weapons that only a few classes.

There is so many realistic weapon ideas that would 100% fit Gw2
To start with…
~2Handed axes – how about making those Warrior exclusive ?
~Fist/Claw like weapons – those always makes for freaking good looking mean toons and i love it
~Whips – I have never seen an MMORPG game with Whips ! and whips really hurts ! it cuts down so its a weapon and it dates back to the sword times so it fits in…. (i know eles have a lightning whips thingy but,i mean the real thing)(Dual whips for Thiefs, fire whips, Look Adam Winrich on youtube…)
~Arm blades or Nunchuks – those would be thiefs exclusive…
~Halberds … or simply enabling the spears to be used on land, some of the skin looks awesome, but u almost never see them….
~Crossbows – im not a big fan of crosbows, but why not ? those could be Rangers Exlusive
~Orbs ? – casters could shape an energy orb into a weap to hit (kind of like guardians scpectrals
~Javelins – This one is inspired by the amazon back in Diablo 2 yeah i know, but god i loved throwing Javelins…

And there are MANY other good and realistic weapons Ideas out there… let me know if u guys agree on any of those :-D

Runescape had a whip as a weapon and it was really strong if I remember correctly. I completely agree with you. I would love to see all these weapons and even more.

Yes please. One that looks like Snaga would be great:

yes !!!!
i want 2 handed battle axes.
for the warrior !!!

i can’t think of anyone else able to handle them though.
ranger maybe? -_-;;;
nah. inappropriate.

the attack speed would faster than greatsword since single handed warrior axe has the fastest attack speed.

also, the great axe is much longer, so the actual melee range is a bit further.
the to hit range is 200 instead of 130

f1 Executioner’s Strike (+++++ immobilize, +++++ vulnerability)
1a Rake (+ cripple)
1b Twist (+ weakness)
1c Cleave (+ vulnerability)
2 Furious Chop (leap attack, +++++ adrenal)
3 Dismember (+ crippled, + vulnerability)
4 Lacerating Chop (+++++ bleeding)
5 Decapitate (+++++ weakness, +++++ vulnerability)

hnnngggh

I only want a greataxe for my Necro. Give us something that cleaves.

I would rather have scythe for the necro… Only other weapon I would really like to see are tonfa..

Btw I guess necromancers must have loved this thread since it got necroed to hell lol.

I want Dual GreatAxe)

as a power necro:

2h axes so i can have a cleave
crossbow so i can have a single target ranged power weapon, axe is sucky 600 range, 900 please?

That fact that they didn’t launch with 2h axes is the worst part of this game.

I want 2h axes rite nao.

+1, oh yeah i want this on my guardian

Battleax? Heck yeah!

moar weapons good!

also on the subject of gunblades just my personal opinion i love combi weapons just like this skyrim mod i personally just love the gatling battle axe

Seems a little brutal to me. I pass

That’s what makes it perfect for a warrior!

2 means one and one. Put one and one together you get unity, through unity you achieve order…. One and one = thief off hand sword confirmed.

2Handed axe would be verry awesome for warrior and protector, and mabey a necro.
But i really was expecting a 2H axe would be a good norn style just like in the books.

Yes, yes, yes, and more yes.

New weapon types = new skills = awesome!

Posted my idea for Warrior 2 handed Axe several days ago

Skill ideas for Greataxe:

Adrenaline Skill: Decapitate, does high damage, each bar makes the damage increase from Vulnerability for this skill 1.33>1.66>2X more effective (so if the target has 10 Vulnerability, when this skill hits it’s like having 13>16>20 Vulnerability)

Auto-attack chain Penetrating Chop: Does damage and causes 1 Vulnerability for 6 seconds. Penentrating Blow, same damage and causes another stack of Vulnerability for 6 seconds. Agonizing Chop: does more damage then the other 2 previous skills, and applies 2 vulnerability for 6 seconds

Skill 2, Executioner’s Strike: High burst damage skill, 10 second cool down

Skill 3, Charging Strike: Leap at your foes (600 range), with a powerful swing, gain 3 Might for 5 seconds if you hit, 12 second cool down.

Skill 4, Rending Sweep: Swing your Greataxe 360 degrees, causing 5 Vulnerability for 8 seconds, and doing high damage. 20 second cool down

Skill 5, Power Attack: Swing your Greataxe as hard as you can, doing damage and knocking foes down for 1 second. 30 second cool down

Cool downs and Vulnerability might have to be balanced, but I thought it would be cool if the weapon focused on taking advantage of Vulnerability

Had another post suggesting that Executioner’s Strike could apply 3 Vulnerability like Maul, and Rending Sweep could be the big Vulnerability applier and do 10 stacks for 8 seconds

As long as everyone gets something new to their profession then yes. 2h = both, both can hold one weapon. Thief Off Hand Sword confirmed.

Give my necro a 2h axe, pretty please with a cherry on top

I would love for pikes or something like a naginata. But yes, battle axes are a good first step.

VOLKON.1290:

I think they’d be a nice weapon addition in the future, sure. A crossbow would be another option they could consider adding in the future. What would be challenging is thinking of other types of weapons for more casterly types.

Why would this be hard? The magical classes already use…

Axes
Long swords
Great swords
Pistols
Maces
Spears
Hammers
Tridents
Shields

Something tells me flails, and great axes are not all that far off for the “casters” of GW2.

Oh yea and +1 for Battle axes.

hmmm i want 2 handed axes!

Yes two handed axes, but not yes to all types of weapons. I’d prefer to keep the types of weapons restricted to things you’d somewhat realistically see used in combat. So yes to things like the two handed axes, labces, and javelins. No to things like whips and claws.

I would like to point out, in favor of 2h axes, that in Dredgehaunt Cliffs, lodge of Bergtrolde, there is clearly a 2h axe model of a Norn type lodged into a stump nearby. I would think the very existence of such a model would not only warrant but make it practical for such a weapon/item type to exist for players and enemies.

i want it for my thief

Who doesn’t want 2H Axe and Polearms? lol

The more Options I can have in a game the better, that said Anet has shown a disturbing lack of balance or intrest in balancing the weapon sets and character builds,

balance the weapon+stat builds that no one uses first then id care more about wanting to add new weapons other wise it will just add more useless weapon builds to a stack of already fail builds that should be amazing

Battle axes, Whips, and Polearms.

This has nothing to do with new sets. There is always a least disreable weapon set and when it’s “boosted” there will be another bottom of the barrel weapon. I’d like to see more weapons in general for all classes.

+1 for this, really love to see Greataxe to be added.

More options is welcome always.

About some strange request i’ve seen in this topic:
- Katana should be a Greatsword skin, and Wakizashia (short katana) a Sword skin.
- Orbs and Books are Focus skins.
- 2h axe can’t be a greatsword skin, it’s not a 2 hand sword, neither an hammer.
- Pistol + whip? why would you use a ranged weapon with a immobilize/pull weapon?!
- Scythe?! It’s a dumb weapon, no one would choose to fight with a scythe, leave them as a Staff skin
- Thief with 2h axe is unacceptable!!

I would go for: 2h Axe (including poleaxe skins), main-hand Fist weapon (claw), off-hand Whip.
Maybe crossbow but it’s not really necessary, every weapon added costs a huge effort!!
