there have ben a million post like this so i hope it gets looked over . there is a place for a weapon like this
i would really like to see a chain blade/ or kyoketsu shoge added in to the game
i could see it being used on classes like the thief necro ranger and maybe mesmer.
i think a weapon like this would have quite a bit of telegraphed animations
but a ranged melee weapon would be awesome. there r no ranged melee weapons as of now but i can see a place for them .
they do have it listed on the upcoming changes on wiki to add new classes. let classes use weapons they can’t use now . and add new weapons
i kinda just wanted to know what people though about a weapon like this ?
there has also ben some talk about the dervish from gw1 . this could be a weapon for them as well if they r ever added
if u have any other new weapon ideas for other classes or what ever
would love to hear them
If they ever make a new type of weapon, it will be along with new playable race/class (and of course in some kind of DLC/expansion). For simple LS/patch content it is a bit too much. We’re talking about new skills, new animations, and new balancing. If you look at all new skills that appeared lately (mostly healing skills) they all use animations that were already used + some new effects.
Maybe its lazines, maybe lack of funds or time but… adding new weapon type just like that-not gonna happen.
ya i guess that is true it is still early to hope for such a thing .
but they have mentioned adding classes new weapons and such so it is not unrealistic when that time comes.
kinda wanted to just know what the community though about such a weapon.
there r no ranged melee weapons!
the weapon could be themed for other classes . and one class (dervish) which i have seen descustion on the forums about being adding .
so it does have a class it could be tied to and slipped in with

Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t the idea of adding new skills and weapons outside of major content updates one of the big points on the original GW2 manifesto?
When GW2 was first in development they said that a lot of content would be added in outside of expansions, additional campaigns, etc., so they wouldn’t have to make expansions.
it may be a lil to soon to hope and see these be add into the game but but i don’t think it is to soon to have a descustion on the matter.
spears or pikes for like warriors and guard or some thing could be nice.
any new weapons would be nice . or new classes it is nice to see people try to fit classes from gw1 in
new stuff when the time comes i give 2 thumbs up and would love to see more
discussion on.
it would be nice if the community could come down to a hand full of weapons they would like to see be added
When we reach Cantha, sure. This weapon would be lore fitting and fun at that point. Before that, it would just be strange, if not outright immersion breaking (though I suppose that doesn’t matter, what with the rainbow unicorns and confetti flying around).
