Guild Wars 2

I’m really hoping for warriors obtaining the ability to use pistols, so that I may wield 1-hand sword as main hand, and pistol off-hand, just as Rytlock used to, before he became Revenant. I personally feel its the only other option for warriors obtaining one new weapon to the profession. thoughts? maybe on other warrior weapon types as well?

I support this too. No other weapon that’s currently in the game would make sense, really, except maybe daggers.

A pistol would be great for warriors.

My girlfriend’s hoping for shortbows, but I have my doubts about that. It’d be similar enough to the longbow that a lot of people would probably find it uninteresting. Personally, I’m hoping for pistols. I’d love for my warrior to be a more well-rounded soldier when it comes to firearms.

What I hope not to see is something like staff or scepter. The ranger expanding further into magical territory doesn’t bother me, because they already have some spell-like abilities anyway. Plus, you know… druids. But with the introduction of the Revenant, we’ll have two magical soldiers to choose from, so I’m hoping whatever new weapon options the warrior ends up with will still be in keeping with the more down-to-earth Fighter theme.

Commando, anyone? :-D I mean, we’re going to be running around in a jungle…

Torches could be possible, but I really hope for pistols for both hands.

Pistol+Horn would be cool.

I agree, we do have enough magic heavies, and unless staff is used like a normal non-magic martial arts staff, I don’t want it. However, of the remaining weapons, anything could make sense.

Well, so far... we can confirm these new weapon styles for these professions:

Rangers - Staff
Mesmers - Shield
Necromancer - Greatsword
Engineer - Hammer

I believe Elementalist are going to have Sword and Thief will get Rifle. Atleast the rumors says that.
For Warriors... I’d like to see Daggers... or land spears...
I’m not sure what Guardian will get... hopefully Longbow,

My space marine norn wants a pistol…but I think warriors are more likely to get a land spear.

Already confirmed that land spear is not going to happen…

For warriors i would love..

1. a pistol
2. a poisoned spear

or go creative and exotic a bit and give the warrior something unique.

3. a boomerang,
aimed at one person but also has an option to do a group opponents circle strike before coming back to the warriors hand.

4. a poison dart pipe lot of native warriors used that has some range and poison stacking strong, think about curare paralysing the opponent etc.

5. a Sai that can be thrown like sword, can block melee and can strike short range.

I didn’t see that.

So it has to be pistol, shortbow, dagger, sceptre, staff, or focus.

Here’s hoping its pistol.

but what would this Specialization be? What would it be called and how would it be different from Warriors?

Dagger, warrior with a ranged weapon is just plain stupid in my book.

well since you can throw daggers i guess we will have to get melee staff then

You can also throw your GS, does not make it a ranged weapon now does it.

My only issue for daggers is they seem so small for a warrior or whatever specialization it will have.
EDIT: Unless, they use it to also punch things, while holding a dagger I guess.

well as i have seen daggers made for throwing i havent seen greatsword that were made for it really so that point is kinda mooth aspirine

Then what is that 1 minute and 39 seconds into the video?

If you want to “confirm” stuff… show us the confirmation, instead of saying things that that looks like bull form the perspective of us uniformed… o.O

Oh wait, warriors with daggers, just like dwarven boxing in eotn.

Oh, Zelanard, you’re talking about the staff, right?

Scepter.

If those huge spiky armour Charrs and Norns are so angry, it’s because they’re not allowed to play with the Princess Wand.

guess according to that we could still get melee staffs and land spears since neither of those weapons are entierly new

New weapon, pffff…

The only thing a Warrior need is dualweilding greatswords. They can remove all the other weapons

Chimppossible.1829:

Necros with a greatsword, hmm I hope that wont give a slaughter party with staff they are doing allready very good spamming fear and chills and dmg if they can combine both lol I fear Necro can become uber op slaugher. But maybe thats just my fear.

Pistol then or spear or shortbow, so something with a bit range? Combined with mace, shield or single hand sword could be interesting.

I would love then pistol or shortbow.

How about warrior using a staff but without any magic? Using a staff as a melee weapon just like a monk using a daiboo. I`d like to see that more than a pistol or dagger.

Giggled and remember WoW’s Fury Warrior.

I wants

it’s gonna be a spear for a warrior, can’t see them announcing tiny weenie pistols for XPAC

Also, I went to GW1 wiki, read a bit about previous professions and found the dervish. Scythe wielder. We could get a scythe upgrade on the staff as necromancers have.

Link?

If it has to be a spear I want a fast respawn for throwing and a lot of dmg not like impalement now. Else again its a weapon that not many will use.

Thief might get rifle ehm sniper thief trust me then loads will drop their warrior and jump to sniper thief. Would be a big big mistake, thief would get to op then.

While I’d still love to see a pistol specialization that’d turn the warrior into a more “complete” modern Tyrian soldier, I also like the idea of the melee staff mentioned by a few. My gut tells me it’s unlikely that’d happen, but it would certainly be cool, and a bit different. With the right outfit (like ancestral) it might even be possible to imbue a character with an almost monkish vibe, if one so desired.

Warrior need 2hand Axe cant be that hard to add new weapon to the game ;D

My personal list of what weapons each profession will get is:

We know-
Necro- Greatsword
Mesmer- Shield
Ranger- Staff
Engineer- Hammer

My guess-
Warrior: Offhand Torch
Elementalist: Mainhand Sword
Guardian: Rifle
Thief: Longbow

Revenant: Pistol (not sure which hand, main probably) will be part of it’s specialisation.
