For what class in the next expansion?
Not to be a nay sayer but I do believe Anet has said something along the lines that there will be no more new classes (Profession) Revnant was the last one….but new elite specs and new weapons are definitely on the table…perhaps even a new race or two, I myself wouldn’t mind seeing Fisticuffs (Claw weapons) for thieves/warriors maybe even guardians and then Chakrams for Elementalists/Mesmers
My guess?
Polearms (Two-handed), being a catch-all name for Battle-axe/Scythe/Spear/Halberd skins. Given to Warrior as an Offensive Condi weapon, Revenant as a Defensive Condi Weapon and Necromancer as a Defensive Direct-Damage weapon.
Whips (One-handed), being a Medium-ranged (300-600) Main-hand weapon. Given to Rangers as an Offensive Condi-weapon, Thief as a Defensive Condi Weapon and Mesmer as an Offensive Direct Damage weapon.
Javelins (One-handed), lighter 1-handed Spears that could either be Melee or Ranged. Given to Guardians as a Ranged, Defensive Weapon, Engineers as a Melee, Offensive Hybrid weapon and Elementalist as a Melee Defensive Weapon.
Thief – Duelist | Ranger – Strider | Engineer – Technician |
Elementalist – Spellweaver | Necromancer – Warlock | Mesmer – Trickster |

Sorry Sorry… My Dervish claim for Scythe isn’t meant to be as a whole new class but rather as elite spec for an established class. Hopefully Ranger giving the class a proper melee build!
Also I love the Claw Weapon idea. Very Wolverine…. OOOOOO New Spec!
And Chakrams how very Guild Wars 1. I really like that idea. Well said, Well said indeed!

Nunchucks. And when you hit someone with them your toon shouts “Kowabunga!”

As long as it’s only charrs who say it.
Would think they would incorporate an already exisiting weapon into a new form before adding an entire new weapon. Like how staves used to be pure magic, but now with HoT we see them being used as melee weapons. Polearms with spears would be the easiest to introduce, would be cool to see this across specific classes. I personally would love to see is foci become melee weapons, and give them to Warrior and name that Elite Specialization Brawler.

Lol thats funny. I like it.
I would say the most likely professions would be Warrior or Thief

Lol. That could work. There are foci that look like beer steins or wine bottles. Nothing says brawler like bashing your foe in the head with a beer stein.
2H Axe and javelin/land spear seem to be fan favourites over the years.
I like the idea of swinging a morningstar, although I’m not sure what it would add. I just like the satisfying crunch hammers, maces and morningstars make!
Chakram/discus/shuriken/boomerang type throwing weapon also sounds fun.
Martial Arts. I think GW2 is well set up for a fast flowing martial arts specialisation. I’m sure a yellow jumpsuit in the gem store would be a perfect accompanying money spinner as well!
Any new weapon “could” be added. I don’t expect them to add any in the next 3 years. I think it would be more likely to see 3 new professions or one new race (and I don’t think either of those scenarios are likely).
