Guild Wars 2

I vote for two-handed axes too.

Axe approves … of at least 15 characters long axes.

Are you kidding ?…

They cant even fix the one hand axe …end you ask them to give you 2Hand??? ..eeeeek

you have my vote for said axes.. but also for new weapons for all professions cause lets not forget that there are more then 1 or 2 classes.

My Guardian definitely needs a Twohanded Axe. You have my vote.

I vote for 2hand axe

2 handed axe?

More like Polearm, since there’s Halberds, Glaives and Pikes.

Halberds are combination of Spear and Axe, but with better reach than a 2 handed axe would have…

Yes! I don’t see why they haven’t added this already.. 1+

Pretty sure thats a two handed axe being held.

Not true, sadly. When my charr uses an axe and stands next to a human the axe is pretty much bigger than the humans character model. It’s the same for norns.

Any post about requesting a favorite weapon type should include some ideas about addressing the changes to balancing PvP, WvW, and PvE combat. That’s got to be the top three reasons why we haven’t seen new weapon types yet.

Here’s one method: count the two-handed axe as if the character is wielding two axes. Unfortunately, this means only warriors could use it and I don’t think this works for any other weapon combination: greatsword is already the 2H counterpart to swords, similarly hammer to two maces (sort of). I don’t think there’s a 2H pistol or a 2H dagger.

Axe Ask for two handed Axe!

Instead of calling it a two handed axe why not call it what it should be called a Great Axe

Axe Ask for Great Axe!

Or they could just add new weapon skills. I’m not sure why that’d be an issue. In the end they’d be balanced just like everything else in the game; badly.

And I’m pretty sure ranger can duel wield axes, too.

I vote for crossbows!

yeah…here’s the thing…
THIS is just the lack of content in this, apart from that, great and lovely designed game!

everyone who can is wielding that greatsword! Go and look for Warriors, Guardians or Hunters using other weapons for melee. In like 2 hours of playing in a crowded area you might see one of each without the greatsword…
And this is just sad.

I’d rather gain the option to use spears on land first.

Ehh, this is pretty far down the list for me. I feel like greataxes would just clutter things up, and not really provide a new play experience.

I’d much rather see polearms, tomes, or even chakram.

On the other hand, I would be fine with the existing axes being made hand-and-a-half. Let a couple professions wield an axe with no off-hand as a two-handed weapon.

I vote for two-handed axes! More weapons should be implemented for sure!

I want them too.

Both 2 handed axes and Scythes. Especially Scythes.

As a David Gemmell fan this would be AWESOME!!!

Snaga the Sender….drools

Yes, then we can say, “And my axe!”

i vote for this as well, but can we brand them as Polearms?

I think it goes without saying that they wouldn’t only add great axes to the game and call it good.

If and when they do they’ll be adding other weapons too.

Of course this anet we’re talking about and some of the things they do don’t make a whole lot of sense.

Like going down to balancing things that never needed to be balanced? Like some dungeons…
Instead of adding content?

I can’t follow Anet here…I mean…what’s the deal?
Bringin new content to the game would be highly appreciatet.
Besides that, it brings more long-time-fun getting new stuff than
running a changed dungeon or getting the new heart at one location…

Not much sense detected here Anet…
