Guild Wars 2

Which weapon would you love to see in the future for your favourite profession?

For me…

Warrior- Polearm ( and/or Dual Wielding Greatswords )
Guardian- Cross like Blades (with Divine spells)
Ranger- Crossbow
Elementalist- Sling
Mesmer- Siangham
Thief- Sai
Engineer- Hand Cannon
Necromancer – Dart

(Tbh not my idea to ask this question and i saw at reddit and moving here. )

Well, if we’re talking new weapons, let me get my DnD books…

Guardian – Spear ala Paragon
Thief – Kusarigama

Warrior – Polearm, Waraxe (2H Axe), Crossbow
Guardian – Spear (On Land ofc)
Ranger – Hammers, Daggers (Ranged), Crossbow
Thief – Scythe (I played Scythe Sin in Gw1), Shurikens
Engineer – Hand Cannon, Crossbow/Dart Gun of sorts
Elementalist – Polearm, Spear, Scythe
Mesmer – Spear
Necromancer – Scythe

Ranger – sniper rifle
Warrior/Guardian – spear/bill/halberd
Thief – Crossbow

Main hand shield for Guardian! Make it happen Arenanet!!!

Elementalist – Main Hand Sword
Mesmer – Main Hand Pistol
Necromancer – Main hand Focus (full on ritualist/voodoo style of gameplay)
Engineer – Hammer!
Thief – Longbow (give it the shortbow 2 and 4, make it a true 1200 AoE saboutage weapon. And redesign the shortbow to be a true infiltrators weapon, instead of trying to smash both playstyles on to a weapon where they will both never fit.)
Ranger – Rifle
Warrior – Staff (thinking a martial bo-staff, not spell-casting)
Guardian – Main Hand Shield

And if we’re talking completely new weapons…

Elementalist – Throwing Hammer (med range AoE)
Mesmer – Whip
Necromancer – War Pick
Engineer – Cannon (basically a rocket launcher)
Thief – Darts/Shurikens (thrown weapons)
Ranger – Whip
Warrior – Throwing Hammer (Long range CC/dmg)
Guardian – Cannon (think of a siege tank skill setup, a five skill that immobilizes you but greatly increases range at the cost of a minimum range)

Rifle for Thieves. We have the kittentiest range options in the game.

Ranger – Staff

Untill you stealth or teleport away.

But let’s not derail the thread shall we? What was it about? Oooh yeah, main hand shield for Guardians. Great suggestion Conncept.

Mesmers and eles can do that too.

On topic: Speaking of eles, I think swords would be appropriate for them as well. Think of them as an elemental knight when they wield a blade.

Ranger : Crossbow
Warrior : Two handed axe
Guardian : Polearm
Thief : Scythe / Naginata

Necromancers, Rangers and Guardians: Scythe

Engi

Swiss Army knife

All new weapons:
-Fists for all professions
Preferrably if the first three skills were based on profession and the last two were racial to, in a way, give us a “racial weapon” to compliment racial utility and elite skills. Plus, Charr are expressly mentioned as “clawing”, and I want to see Norn doing WWE type body slams on foes. ("What’cha gonna do when snow leopard runs wild on you?!)

-Land spears/pole arms for Elementalist, Guardian, and Warrior
I should stress I’d want them melee and not just thrown.

-Scythes for Guardian, Necromancer, and maybe Mesmer

-Whips for Mesmer, thief, and ranger (at least)

-Large Hook (Aquatic weapon, think like what the guy in I Know What You Did Last Summer had), not sure for which professor but to help diversify options underwater, Figured a lot of the attacks would involve basically gutting enemies. Like fish. (assuming they actually aren’t)

Weapon Proliferations:
Ranger: Rifle (I want to be Davy Crocket, dangit!), and Staff (maybe the first three skills are melee quarter staff and the last two are support focused, nature magic stuff)
Mesmer: Mainhand pistol
Thief: Mainhand sword (I want to be Shiro Tagachi), and maybe rifle. (stealthy, sniper assassin)
Elementalist: Greatsword and mainhand sword, offhand shield. Purely to let folks have Magic Knight character concepts outside of mesmers.

Speaking of the engineer, I would like to see a tool kit, one that you ACTUALLY USE like a tool kit. Rather than a bag of tools you carry around to bash people’s faces in like a brainless thug.

inb4 fortus says ele greatsword

I want a longbow on guardian and anything melee/actually useful for engi.

2-Handed Katana for Thieves.

Kaizer.7135:

2-Handed Katana for Thieves.

Thieves are thieves, not assassins or ninjas… or samurai if I want to get more technical.

I never knew Thieves could shadowstep or go invisible. Hell, the only ability that resembles a Thief that we’ve got is steal, and that’s a shadowstep.

Thieves are closer to assassins in GW1 than any Thief I know.

A hammer and a sword for eles, god, we need an ele with a hammer, and I’m surprised eles can’t use swords in the main hand, it makes more sense than using dagger.

Elementalist: I honestly think we’re covered for weapons here. Staff, scepter, focus and dagger cover all types of combat and mix condi/direct damage well. Plus, we have conjured weapons that cover nearly any type of task you’d want to do.
Mesmer: Main hand pistol, obviously.
Necromancer: Greatsword. It’s what Grenth would have wanted. Barring that, a scythe.
Engineer: Hammer, or mace. Needs a brute-force melee option, tool kit is subpar for this purpose.
Thief: Don’t play it enough to have an opinion.
Ranger: Same.
Guardian: Flail (a mace head chained to a handle, sort of like what the witch-king of Angmar wields in Return of the King). Would combine a strong mid-range combat option with CC.
Warrior: A terrestrial spear, i.e. pole-arm.

There is two dagger skins that already look like Sai.
What I would like:
Warrior
Torch off-hand
Spears (above water)

Elementalist
Greatsword (Instead of fiery greatsword)

Thief
Staff (Melee) for Thief Acrobat
Torch Offhand

Guardian
Axe main hand
Longbow

Engineer
Hammer
Mace and Shield is already covered by toolkit.

Come on! this is Guild Wars … where are my Scythes

War/Necro should be able to utilize scythes be a sweet aoe weapon for Necromancers which is needed

I’d like to see wands for light armour classes. If not, then definitely wand skins for scepters. I feel like the only thing my necromancer is missing is a wand.

Princess Wand Skin not cutting it for necro?

I copy it from a quite old thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Weapons-that-will-prob-be-in-major-updates/first#post998255

“ele: tome, orb, totem figure
mesmer: orb, whip, main hand pistol or totem figure
guardian: orb or tome, polearm, totem figure
warrior: 2h axe, polearm, off hand dagger
ranger: crossbow, whip, claws or totem figure
necro: tome or orb, scythe, claws or totem figure
thief: crossbow, 1h axe, whip
engi: rocket launcher, 2h axe (that combination gives me some crazy ideas ^^), 1H axe”

2-handed axes for Warriors, Necros, and Guardians. I was really disappointed the first time I heard they weren’t going to be in the game.

Not quite cutting it. :P

Something more dark, and wand like. Lol. There’s plenty of cool wand designs in the harry potter movie franchise. I’m sure they aren’t all copyright as intellectual property. Whether or not you can claim a black stick that fits the description of a wand as your design or not is also up for debate. xD

I’d like to see torches for elementalists. Also some sort of long ranged damage weapon that we can reliably duel with. A rifle might be an interesting choice, since I doubt we’d get a hammer, greatsword, or bow.

Pistol on mez like bizillion other people and on ranger i would like to see other kind of bows like Horn bow/Flat bow/Recurve bow. I don’t want a hammer or another dagger on ranger, i want rangers to have access to multiple bows because right now we only have one, SB.

Mesmer: Main hand pistol!

Whip
for Rangers and Guardians

Staff
for Rangers

it’s called a morning star
would be a cool weapon for necros

A flail would be cool.
Military Flails come in a variety of shapes and sizes, some with one chain and a single steel ball or club, others with two or three chains with a steel ball, or flange. A nunchuku is a type of flail.

Edit: A morning star is not a flail. It is a mace with a wooden shaft.
An example of a Morning Star in GW2 would be The Punisher (Named exotic hammer)

A morning star is not a mace with a spike on top. It is another term for eye booger.

Aww you caught me before I edited. Love the eye booger reference. Morning Stars are also not to be confused with Morning Glory, which could he embarrassingly painful to be wielding in combat.

Mesmer- fan
Ranger-staff
Thief -whip
Ele- torch, warhorn
Engi- shotgun

Crossbow guns
2-handed Axes (GW2 has a picture of one T_T)

Pistols for elementalists.

Throwing knives for thieves!

:D I wanna pretend I am Vamp!

Engineer: nukes

Nothing like clearing an entire dungeon with 1 skill.

You’re thinking way too narrowly.
What engineers need is a WMD kit filled with various types of massively destructive missiles and bombs.

Nuclear, Chemical, Biological, Orbitally dropped projectiles (rods from God) then we can move into more fantastic options like “Gravitational singularity”, Orbital energy cannons, that sort of thing.

Would be nice if they added SMG’s, LMG’s, Magnums, shotty’s and other kind of weapons to engis

Shuriken or 2h Katana for Thief would be awesome

My engineer would gladly take a sonic screwdriver.

what the hell is up with everyone and Japanese weaponry? Go play Age of Wushu.

Javelin/spear-on-land for Guardians!

Ranger: blowgun
