Guild Wars 2

So i was playing my thief and got think. “you know what would be cool right now? two one handed cross bow”.

Weapons that might and will be in future content update and exp

One handed crossbow
Two handed crossbow
Two handed axe
Polearm
Rocket launcher

One weapon is guarantee to be in future content (two handed axe) and as a thief i would love the one handed crossbow. Just wishful thinking.

We have firearms already, crossbows are outdated.

Polearms are fine though.

Whips. Whips! WHIPS!

Make it a one-hander and you can dual-wield whips if you want.

So are short bows and longbows by this thinking

Here’s a list of possible polearms http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0136.html

So is Melee weapons, nobody uses them anymore……

spoon

perfect for tanks.

Firearms, crossbows and melee coexisted for centuries.

The Crossbow is a low range hi impact weapon. The Crossbow was a premier armor piercing weapon that was widely used because only the English mastered the Longbow.

Your logic is outdated because the crossbow would be a supreme weapon for a theif…

We still use Crossbows today, both as weapons and tools for hunting. How are they outdated?

Just watch The Walking Dead!

I like the idea of those new weapons.
But we some other sort of shield (towershields), weapons we got enough i think.
But he more weapons means more skills so good idea.

Whips that have crossbows at the end that shoot whips at the enemy.

A frying pan
. . . that throws bacon.

>_>

The crossbow is the perfect intermediary weapon between guns and bows being of a mechanical nature. Besides what would you call the balistae that the Sons of Svanir use but a giant crossbow .

I say give us crossbows and halberds

Yes please

Well, yeah, mainly because the firearms couldn’t shoot as fast, nor as accurate, also they were far more expensive (both in production, and in exploitation), harder to use, and their development just started when that of bows and crossbows was already at it’s peak. But none of it is a case in this game, so any such historical/logical argument makes no sense.

We also shoot fire from our hands in this game. If and when I learn to do this, I may not use a gun as often as I do now when I gather XP at the mall.

Greataxes, polearms, whips, crossbows, claws, tomes

The end.

I wouldent expect tomes as Guardians have them as elite skills .

TWO HANDED SHIELDS.

also nunchucks. or bare hands combat

you know , you are playing the wrong game .. go play Diablo 3 as a Demon Hunter

Orbs (1H or 2H). Scythe (2H). Totem Figure (Off Hand).

We could also figure out who could receive which weapon.

In my opinion (I included your suggestions):

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

I love this idea! Gives a whole new meaning to a “bunker build”)

also, I want something like a sickle on a chain. idk what weapon that is tho

kusari-gama, iirc (for the Japanese version).

I’d love whips (for… ranger, thief, mesmer, and ele… but ele will get one new weapon at most, I’’d bet on that).

A piercing-type sword. (Rapiers, foils, etc.)

Crossbows are unlikely imo.

Two-handed axes possibly. (Just for kicks, give this to ele)

Some form of polearm is a given I think. (Hopefully slashing, as spears underwater poke)

Oh, epees would be great for mesmers and thieves. O.o

Make it a one-hander and you can dual-wield whips if you want.

now THIS is a good idea! would love whips.

as far as that other guys suggestion on two one handed crossbows, pistols are fine so long as they increase the speed so they shoot faster then a rifle does.

Dual whip for ele? I kid. They need a different 2h imo.

Yes please

Woks. (And a merchant named Akiko)

what a about a laser watch like james bond’s one

Engineer elite. Gatling gun.

Polearms would be cool, but I would like to see them have long, sweeping strikes that cover a much larger hit box than axes and greatsword.

Kromsin.6359:

Engineer elite. Gatling gun.

OH OH! absolutely!!!!!!

Mainhand Warhorn
Just because.

Gauntlets/claws or something.

Would fit nicely into several classes thematically.

A lance would be a cool and odd weapon a lot like seen in MH3 (monster hunters 3). Where did you get the info that there may be a new weapon type in a coming big update?

2h Katanas usable on thief please…

I’d like to see Scythe’s on Necromancers which would do Aoe/Melee damage. It would be reminiscent of the Dervish.

i got some sweet concept art leaks for this one:

Pork Buns, all you need in any situation.

Gimme a scythe!

Something like knuckles would be cool aswell just bare hand fighting like a monk/kungfu master

Polearm sounds cool. I could make a new character for that!

That would be awesome, and hilariously appropriate, since Asura are just the kind of people to make them!

I vote for great axes.

I think crossbows would be unnecessary – pistols and shortbows already seem to cover that type of range/ style of play.

Whips sound like a lot of fun for mesmers and necros (gotta keep your minions in line) as well as thieves and rangers.

Polearms for warriors, guardians and eles (maybe).

Knuckle/claw/barehand-type weapons would also sound good for thieves and rangers.

Baton-type or a quick blunt force weapon usable by engineers and maybe thieves.

Fish for all ala Monty Python.

Dueling with fish would be so much fun!

too much Diablo up in here…

Having skills when unharmed would be really cool. Warriors, thieves and guardians could do martial arts while unarmed, while casters could shoot stuff out of their fingers (elementalists doing Sith Lightnings in their air attunements would be awesome).

Javelins or crossbows as a ranged weapon would be very nice for the warrior since the profession doesn’t have a one-handed ranged weapon, which means you can’t use the shield in range. Maybe in an Elona expansion for the javelin.

Adding staves to the warrior or thief’s arsenals and making them do stick fighting (bâton or whatever the fighting style is called) would also be nice. Could be added in a Cantha expansion.

Greataxe because… wait, do I need to explain? It’s a greataxe. =)

Nunchakus don’t feel like a real weapon.

“Katana” is just a fancy name for a greatsword, we’re probably getting them in a Cantha expansion but they should stay greatswords, no sense in making a new weapon class for katanas when it’s already in the game.

Whips, bring back Scythes. Boomerang.
