Guild Wars 2

last weekend I spent the weekend exploring silverwaste and dry top when I saw one of the most exciting things I have seen in the game. There is an event in dry top where you guide a zephyrite to collect crystals or something and the zephyrite uses magical super power karate when attacked. I got excited and thought maybe Arenanet would add a karate class with the powers the zephyrite use in dry top the jumping and speed boost running powers.

Maybe we’ll see some of the skills return with the Elementalist specialisation, but for now the Zephyrites are out of commission. I hope they’ll rebuild sooner or later, Aspect Arena was a cool mini-game.

But what would they use for weapons if a true fists-of-doom profession? No weapons, no bonuses. They could do various martial arts weapons, but wouldn’t that defeat the purpose?

Anyone remember the Diablo-like game Sacred? Maybe do brass-knuckle-like weapons?

metal or hard leather gaunlets for punching and karate chapping also add a combat staff and dual wield combat sticks or a baseball bat type weapon

There are a couple of weapons they could possibly add, and an existing one to the class:

• Knuckles (commonly called a Cestus)
• Spiked gauntlets
• Staves (already in the game, seeing as its a martial artist)
• Claws

And yeah, the name Sacred rings a bell (namely Sacred 2). I can only imagine what a fists-in-yo-face profession would play like in GW2. Probably something akin to what a ranger fights like with a sword main-hand.
