Guild Wars 2

Look at that, hotness.

I hope this happens at some point in the future.

(sidenote: why have all my ss been coming out blurry and low quality recently?)

I really hope the next Warrior elite spec is a support-focused one that gives them access to Pistols. Like “Officer/Captain” or something.

SWG had a pistol specialist Officer class that was support Focused, heavy armor.

It was effective and kitten ed fun.

Seeing as Rytlock rocked a pistol in the core game story. I hoped the first elite spec would let warriors use on off hand.

Maybe some day.

When warrior able to use pistol off hand, i can imagine how funny a warrior with Moot and Quip…

Maybe its time for a clown outfit.

I’d like them to get Pistol as an “Either Hand”, or “Main Hand”, so they can be used opposite a shield, like the Warmaster at Red Rock Bastion. Or opposite Warhorn, as a supporting officer.

Im more likely to believe that Guardians will get an offhand pistol before warriors do. Primarily because the “inquisitor” trope seems more likely to be a thing.

Warriors may get some kinda officer/captain thing though, I did contemplate the idea myself, but I feel warrior fantasy leans more towards melee weapons, I suspect the next warrior specilaization will have a mainhand dagger and be some kind of gladiator.

Since warriors already have quite a few ranged weapons (offhand sword, longbow, rifle, torch to some extent) they kind of dont need much more in ranged skirmishing.

If any class direly needed a new weapon (non specialization) it is by far the engineer, whom suffers from a severe lack of weapons purley because of their weapon kit gimic, which is quite a weak defence for not having weapons.

Interesting. My idea about this is that some weapons could be available to all classes. Pistol? Hmmm. But dagger, definitely. (Note: I’m not saying “no” to pistol, for the record.) I mean really, who couldn’t use a dagger? [Even underwater!]

And the warrior should be able to use any physical weapon, anyway, including pistols. Though I understand ANet set these limits to add “flavor” to the game.

My warrior demands a staff, a glowy one preferably.

Switch to Guardian or Revenant. Meanwhile, Warmaster Gritblade shows that Warrior can be a kitten with shield and pistol.

Asking for Pistols and every class that has them already are like the worst weapons in the game…

Try engie with Pistols and then see how fun they are, or Thief even.

You could try saving your screenshots as .bmp , you need to append a command line argument to your GW2 shortcut.

Right click the shortcut → Properties → Target Area → go to the end of the text in there, after the quotes, add a space, then put -bmp

eg. …\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe" -bmp

Here’s the wiki page about it.

I find them fun. Probably not the most effective in pvp, but in pve they suit me just fine and with the right trenchcoat and hat and pistols akimbo, you feel like a wild west gunslinger.

I tried dual pistols on my Engineer in Hot and well to use an old quote “It didn’t end well”

I find weapons such as pistols need huge over hauls, to be even worth it in PvE.

What ?….

Dual Pistol is probably the most viable engi weapon set there is atm.

Hammer is a joke post Rocket charge nerf, 33% reduction to damage and sustain. Anything it can do Rifle can do sans personal reflect. Then there’s Shield which really is the one engie weapon in need of some major love, the cooldowns on it are really too long considering that Hammer reflect is pretty much 15s shorter, and hammer daze is an AoE….

Shield is great if you are into Breaking Bars (both 4 and 5!). There is a trait to lower the cooldown but even then, still too long….

On topic: Warrior pistols could be fun, Gunslinger (as mentioned above) could be a perfect Elite for them.

That’s more of a Ranger spec than Warrior Spec. They can make most of its skills actually punches and kicks (Especially launching Roundhouse Kicks) and call the specialization the “Walker”. Or ignore the Chuck Norris joke – But still – “A cowboy, a duster, and his dog” sounds more of a Ranger thing than Warrior.

Warrior should have Pistol as a mainhand(Or either hand) weapon as an officer-style specialization, so they can stand back and benefit from either the defense of the shield or Warhorn, or other off-hand utility while providing boons from shouts, banners, and other tactical tools. (… New Utility skill idea – Tactical Assessments. Area fields that give boons or inflict control/conditions and provide combo fields)

Guardians already have a solid 1-hand ranged weapon – The Scepter.

Thank you, I will try that.
