Guild Wars 2

What weapon types would you like to see added to the game and why?

Current in Game Weapon Types:

One-Handed
Axe
Dagger
Mace
Pistol
Scepter
Sword

Two-Handed
Greatsword
Hammer
Longbow
Shortbow
Rifle
Staff

Off-Hand Only
Focus
Shield
Torch
Warhorn

Aquatic
Harpoon Gun
Spear
Trident

Weapons I feel are missing:

Two-Hand
Axe
Spear
Scythe

Quarterstaff
Crossbow
One-handed spear
Javelin
Blowgun (Or maybe not…)

A Whip!

Because the Nightmare court can use them. Just not fair.

I’ve seen the Nightmare Court guys wielding whips and thought the style/animation was done well.
Would like to see them added to the game maybe as a mid range type of weapon. Flails too maybe just as another art style to whips.

Knuckles/Gloves
Flail (though this could probably fit under maces)
Quarterstaff

I’m pretty sure the “whip” animation for the nightmare court is just the Dagger 1 Lightning skill.

Knuckles
Spears
2 Handed Axes
Crossbow

Polearm
Hand Crossbow (duel wielding capable)
Engineer need an RPG Kit
Throwing Knives

A morning start!

It’s not a morning star, but a flail. But personally I would consider them all as mace and just create skins for them maybe.

Weapons I would like to see, regarding weather or not they have been mentioned:
2 handed
Scythe
Great Axe
Quarterstaff
Crossbow
Knuckles

1 handed
Whip

nunchucks main hand and throwing stars off-hand yeah, ninja!

The only two weapons that really deserve a place in this game are the 1h throwing javelin and the scythe.

the javelin for the guardian / ele / ranger – ranged, with a bit less reach than a bow or rifle.

scythe for the warrior / necromancer – no max-target limit and a wider, slightly longer reach

Get the spear out of underwater and into the 2 handed category where it should be.

Necromancer needs Scythe.. Yes, yes we do.

1-hander :

Parrying Dagger (different in appearance and use from a normal dagger)
Chakrams
Knuckles/Claws
Javelins
Whips
Crossbow (could also be a 2 hander)
Greatshields
Rapiers

2-handers :

Halberds
Scythes (as impractical as they are!)
Greataxe

Ranged:
+ Shotguns — 2-Handed Weapon. Crafted by Huntsmen. Usable by Engineers, Rangers, Mesmers, and Warriors. It would have lower base damage than Rifles or Pistols, but it would be compensated with better frontal cone AoE capabilities.

Melee:
+ Scythes — 2-Handed Weapon. Crafted by Weaponsmiths. Usable by Necromancers (duh!), Elementalists, Thieves, and Guardians. Earth- and Air-attuned Elementalists could have abilities similar to what Dervishes had in GW1. Guardians could also adopt some of the Dervish’s Mystism abilities.

+ Fist Weapons — 1-Handed Weapon. Crafted by Artificiers. Usable by Thieves, Warriors, Necromancers, and Elementalists. And Elementalist with a fist weapon could have the capability to shoot Hadoukens and similar projectiles found in fighting games.

Engineer need an RPG Kit
Throwing Knives

As an engineer I will agree, we need some RPG action.

Shotgun and rifle need to be differentiated in this game more than anything, IMO.

Engineer “rifle” skills are an absolute joke, while the warrior gets the rifle skills the engineer should have.

My friend really enjoyed a GW1 beastmaster..how “the pets skills were on your bar”..

So I think a Whip would be really cool, esp if when on the ranger, 1-5 changed to abilities based on what your pet is.
Would really make you feel like a pet-based ranger.

Fan / Warfan (I want one for my mesmer)!

UAV drones, Guild Wars 2 style!

but, my main suggestion: More CATTLEPULTS. this game needs bovine bombardments!

I want a two handed axe for my warrior.

Spears and Polearms are what I desperately want. Let’s hope an expansion brings more options to the table. I also hope they expand our weapons to include a couple options as well.

I really want to see Scythes (even though Necros kind of have the animation already), Polearms, Chakram, Whips, and Fist Weapons.

Fan / Warfan (I want one for my mesmer)!

That would be sexy. It’s the only class I could see pulling it off well too. Guardians really need the scythe. They could easily adopt some of the dervish skills for it.

the only one i really want to see is two-hand axe for warrior/guardian/ranger.

and melee weapon for the engineer, or… another weapon period.

Weapons I would love to see added!

Scythes (Dervish)
Fist/Claw
Two-Hand Axe/Mace
Javelin (Paragon)
Crossbow
Throwing Knives/Kunai/Shuriken etc
