Guild Wars 2

if you could add any weapon that can be used by 2 classes which would it be and what classes
i would add a Crossbow (2 handed)
Thief
Ranger
Engineer

Whip (2H, easier to add in that way) – thief, mesmer, necro, ranger, warrior

I would add a greataxe for warriors and rangers.

Melee claws for Engineers and Necros.

As a die hard warrior I must say, not having a two handed axe seems quite blasphemous.

Scythe (2H) Warrior & Necro

Spear / Polearm

Even if it was meant for throwing, paragon style, I’d still use it. My guardian wants a stick with something sharp on the end of it!

For guardians, warriors, and rangers.

rocket launcher or bazooka for engineers

ps: if they really do add that, i would forsake my guardian and roll an engineer

Thanks for asking! I like to marvel at the curious absence of great axe.

chainsaw and railgun for engineer, and… umm… warrior?

X-bow and 2h-axe…

I think anything that would reasonable fit in the current game’s design have been mentioned so…

+1 for the two-handed axe – warrior and guardian
+1 for the scythe – necro
+1 for melee claws – necro, ele, theif

Well, I guess I could suggest Brass Knuckles, with some brawling type skills. Probably more for a heavy armor class. But could you imagine being able to actually brawl on a norn warrior in the open world? Kinda nifty

Whip was an excellent suggestion! As well as great-axe. Maybe ball and chain or boomerang? Also wouldn’t mind new skins for existing weapons like morning-star (mace), khopesh (sword), and katana (sword).

A martial arts profession could open up a bunch of models such as nunchacku, throwing stars, bo staff.

Scythe for necromancers and guardians.
Shurikens for thieves and rangers.
Necronomicon for necromancers and mesmers.
Flail for warriors and guardians.
Cestus/gauntlets for engineer and warriors.
Tessen or windandfire wheels for mesmer and elementalist.
Atlatl or woomera for rangers and engineers. (Lacrosse anyone?)
Boomerangs for thieves and rangers.
Hand cannon for engineers and thieves.
Meteor hammer for warriors and elementalists.
And cowbell for more lists like these.

Great-axe for a Warrior obviously.
I would love to see the introduction of pole-arms like the halberd or glaive. These would be melee weapons with a range greater than that of all other melee weapons.
Also I’d love to have great-bows like from Dark Souls, they’re basically ballistas that you wield that fire arrows the size of a person. As shown here being loosed by Hawkeye Gough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CPuTqSGLo4

Katar for thief. <3

A scythe…. attached to a dervish on the other end..

And I’d let necromancers using it… but only when the dervish is busy crafting..

Spears and Whips for my Hunter.

Or a Chainsaw for the Engi ( one may dream ).

Or atleast an actual Charrzooka^^

Lmg for engie and necro! Necro cause well.. why not lol

Well let’s see I’d add polearm for the engi/ranger still waiting on my steampunk stuff to arrive, the stuff they have in the game is close but not really there yeah know.

And for just the engi tho I’d add the bazooka (a real one not the nerfed racial) and chainsaw/drill to the toolkit.

Claws for necro and ranger but it would be considered a 2H weapon.

Necro – Would be a ranged weapon, similar to axe.

Ranger – Would be a melee weapon.

Why 2H? Currently auto attack is a main hand animation. This is so you can swap out the off hand and still keep the same animation. By making it a 2H weapon, the animations would make use of both claws and not just the one on the main hand.

Double Bladed Sword for mesmer and thief.

It would be a dueling weapon and so I find these two best represent dueling professions.

For the Thief:

Auto attack would be a slash, slash, jab.

2nd Skill: Throw it at the target like a spear and the skill changes to the second stage.

2nd Skill: Second stage which is available for 3 seconds, teleport to the target (acts as an evade) and rip the weapon back out.

3rd Skill: Stick it in the ground, spin around it with your foot out kicking up to 5 enemies within melee range and knocking them down.

4th Skill: Throw it with a spin hitting enemies along the path of travel. Upon throwing it, you teleport 600 units facing the direction you came from. The speed and timings on the teleport are such that you teleport after you throw and you show up in time to catch it.

5th Skill: Whirlwind, reflects ranged attacks and blocks melee.

Unarmed combat – all professions. A “wristband” replaces the actual weapon and goes into the weapon slot. Different wristbands could offer alternative skills.

Blowgun.

Pointed Stick.

Rouven.7409:

Unarmed combat – all professions. A “wristband” replaces the actual weapon and goes into the weapon slot. Different wristbands could offer alternative skills.

Good call. Unarmed would be cool.

I would also like to see another weapon for elementalists. Maybe a chakram or shuriken. Even a the Tanbo which could be considered a two handed weapon for one in each hand.

Mechanical exoskeleton for Engineers. It is the same size as the user and does not cover up the entire body.
It is basically like wearing a bunch of weapons
Ex:
-Flamethrower on left wrist(like the flame legion)
-Mini gun on the right wrist(just because its cool)
-Jet pack on the back
-And whatever else you can think of.
It is like putting all the kits into one suit

Greataxe for Warrior/Guardian and possibly Ranger.

Scythe for Warrior/Necro

Longbow/Shortbow/Rifle/Pistol that actually obeyed the laws of physics (specifically, gravity)

Tazer – we already have electric cattle prods just outside black citadel.

1. a short sharp shock does x damage
2. overcharge shock causes burning
3. channelled skill that stuns/immobilizes

:P

definitely for engineer and maybe ranger

Floating orbs for Elementalists and Engineers – with both magical and technological skins to meet the needs of both. Serves as a 2-handed weapon.

1. Guardians: 2H – Pole arm/Helberd/LANCE, 1H – Javalin(Ranged)

2. Warriors: 2H – Great Axe, 1H – Ball & Chain

3. Necromancer: 2H – Scythe(Melee), 1H – Chain(Allows a chained undead pet(human) to be summoned at all times: #1 – summon, #2-3 Melee skills?)

4. Engineer: 2H Bazooka, 1H – Tether(Allows you to pull enemy or be pulled to them)

5. Thief: 2H – Grapple Hook rifle, 1H – Hand spikes

6…..

One handed Hand-to-hand combat gloves or iron knuckles would be pretty cool. Could go with a new class or thief.

Duskmelt.9834:

One handed Hand-to-hand combat gloves or iron knuckles would be pretty cool. Could go with a new class or thief.

New class….Brawler

One-Handed Magic orb/ Ball: Thief, Ele, Necro, Meserm

Whip: Thief, Necro, Ranger, Mesmer

Book/Ancient Text: Ele, Necro, Guardian

Polearm: Warrior, Guardian

Fists weapons: Thieves, Warriors, Ele

PISTOL MAIN HAND: MESMER!

Make it happen ArenaNet!

Greataxe and being able to use a spear while on land.

Whips and flails-Thieves/Rangers/Eles/Necros/Wars/Guards

Crossbows-Thieves/Rangers/Wars

Books of Magic-Eles/Mesmers/Necros/Guards.

TBH, anything new would be great.

Automatic rifle- Engineer
Auto Xbow-Rangers

Asuran technology can do it.

Chainsaw, RPG, M16A2, M40 Sniper Rifle …. Oh wait… wrong game…

Well the chain saw would be kind of cool especially withe Guardian whirling wrath

whip: main hand- thief, ranger, mesmer
shotgun: 2h -engineer

Fingertips, eyes, outstretched hands – for magical attacks w/o a weapon model. (Call it Body, Aura, or Inherent Magic or somesuch.)

for Necro, Ele, and Mesmer

(actually same could be kinda cool for other classes too as a hand to hand/martial arts attacks)

LanfearShadowflame.3189:

+1 for the two-handed axe – warrior and guardian

I think they will never give us (guardians) a chance to use a 2handed axe…

I like the idea of a pole-arm /halberd type the centaurs already are using something similar as is. I would love to see Tessen ( single hand or two handed) as well which would lend well to potential types of new professions when we move to Cantha( hoping for Shrine Maiden /Ahigaru ), Naginata and great-axe would be lovely too

A crossbow is all I want.

Katana’s for Theives

Scythe’s for Mesmer and Elementalists

+1 crossbow for mesmer, thief and ranger

Honestly i would like to see claws. Claws for Engineer, thieves and Necromancers. It would be awesome. But i think we should work with what we got so far and expanding them. I would like to see more combinations, like:

(MH) Focus – Elementalists, Mesmers;
(MH) Shield – Engineers and Guardians;
(MH) Pistol – Mesmer;
(MH) Torch – Ranger;
(OH) Scepter – Engineer and Necromancer;
(MH) Warhorn – Ranger, Necromancers and Warriors.

bo-staff
shruikens
samurai sword…. oh wait, Cantha aint coming back, scrap that then XD

i want an on-land great lance.
hand claw / spiked fighting gloves..
a launcher… with a big kaboom effect

Rifle for Thief and Ranger.

Barring that, a kusarigama could be fun, but it’d almost certainly be too short a range for me to ever actually bother with.

One-handed hammer for engineers, that can be dual-wielded. Not just a re-skinned mace.

Guan dao for warriors, not sure what else.

Sickle, for necromancers.

Research indicates a whip is actually not a particularly effective weapon in RL, but since this is fantasy, yeah, a whip would be cool. Maybe for engineers, and/or mesmers, and/or necromancers. Heck, elementalists, too. Electric whip!
