Don’t we also know eles have sword?

Ele with sword MH confirmed indeed ^^

To be honest they should add 2 weapons for those using single-handed. Ranger gets staff, necro gets greatsword, but mesmer should get more than just a OH shield and ele more than just a MH sword

But who says, let’s say, a Mesmer’s MH sword won’t have new skills when they are specialized as “Chronomancer”?

it’s either that or they might get MH pistol “They already use pistols, and anet said only 1 NEW weapon”
if it’s just a shield I’ll be very disappointed since they only have sword for melee.
Scepter isn’t melee and it’s direct damage is almost 0, they really need a direct damage MH weapon other than sword

They said one NEW weapon, they didn’t say “Chronomancers” won’t use a two-handed sword. Nothing proves that the scepter won’t be more powerful in that specialization.

Remember they could have not added specializations, but instead just a bunch of useless utility skills. One specialization is just the beginning, so don’t complain before you see the full potential of the mesmer, be grateful they gave us the opportunity to personalize our characters deeper.

The trailer didn’t confirm it, but did hint at it, same as with thieves and rifles (i.e., an adventurer wielding a rifle showed up who didn’t look like an engi, and a scholar wielding a sword showed up who didn’t look like a mesmer).

^This. Or that the one handed weapons like the shield are going to be strictly off hand or main hand. What if the shield is designed to be a two handed weapon for the Mesmer? After all, the great sword for a mesmer is not a melee weapons but a ranged one.

I do love the idea..
But the scepter for mesmer is known to be a condi weapon, I really hope that if you sprcialize you can change that.. that’d be so nice and I really think it might happen since the scepter on mesmer is one of the weapons they always try to change\fix in order for players to use it more..

scepter with guards and eles have high dps, maybe mesmers can join that list too!!

The thing is that mesmers always have a different approach for weapons.. so I won’t judge if the shield will suck on mesmer, I’ll just have my mats ready to craft the legendary shield if I like it “which I hope I will”

I have faith in them for that one, let’s all wait and see and not be disappointed before it’s released in the end, we’ll all swoon!

I agree with you 100%. I probably didn’t say it well, but I was just trying to illustrate that we don’t know what the weapons will do or how they will affect others, so it is a little early to start complaining about who gets what.

Confirmed maybe not. But everyone’s been talking about it in numerous threads on this topic. I think from this.

http://youtu.be/IOUk2y0K2m8?t=1m57s

Watching it again now though I wonder. The attack does looks elemental – fire on sword and the player turning to mist…. but maybe this is the new revenant class showing their misty ways.

The part you linked was rytlock, who is now a revenant, the sword is on fire because it’s sohothin. I do remember people saying they believe they saw an elementalist with a sword in there somewhere, but I haven’t seen it myself.

I do think Eles will get swords..
The weapons they can’t weild they can cast them “conjure weapons”
which rules out “axe, bow, gs, shield and hammer”
so there’s still “sword, torch, pistol, mace and warhorn”
to me, only torch and sword kinda make sense, and I pick sword.. so, SWORD CONFIRMED.

Caeledh.5437:

Where you see that? Because that Ausra in the video could be any class that wear that armor.

How does touch for water attunement sound?

Well, since the revenant is a new addition that fills in the third heavy armor class, maybe they may introduce a new weapon type to even out the limited weapons available to certain classes like Eles, who can only wield daggers, foci, scepters, and staffs. Maybe have a spell book or tome that they could read and cast from? And yes, I realize that attunements provide the additional skills where additional weapons may not be needed.

If not, then any other weapon available could be used but I could definitely see the introduction of swords or bows for Eles.

Maybe Ele will have a Pike/Land Spear? It really looks like Faolain uses one in the trailer.

Screen shot it

Playing as an Ele main I think they’ll give us a spear. Since the elementalist only has one under water weapon the trident they might be thinking we need some flexibility underwater. I’m being slightly cynical because of how they’ve treated elementalists in the past with the balance updates.

This can be both good and bad. We know there will be an aerial component to the expansion. What they haven’t said is if we’ll have aerial combat. If we do and its like water combat it might make the elementalist the master of the air if the specialization promotes it.

If its just for water combat then it would be a bit of a waste of time, since I don’t think water will be a bit portion of the expansion.

Necromancer-Greatsword-???

In the trailer there was a medium armor class that wore a rifle on it’s back and a light armor class that wore a sword. Since they like teasing things like that I assumed those are the weapons those classes are getting. The spear and shortbow are popular community speculations that I think are most likely true… I made the post to see if soemone found confirmation of this or has any better ideas for the unknown weapons/specializations.

Engineer Hammer was very much confirmed, as no profession but an Engineer would have little hoverbots. Or a rocket-powered hammer.

Light armor profession with sword: Mesmer. Not saying this was definitely it, but it’s a possibility. Likewise, a Medium with a Rifle could have been an Engineer.

Now, Thief getting Rifle is the most likely upgrade to their weapon choices, but it’s not confirmed. Yet.
