Guild Wars 2

People just complaining about that ele get warhorn or warrior getting torch. You must understand that the elite specs are the way to make weapons like warhorn or torch or shield more popular. Now in game we can see only greatswords or longbows or daggers or staves and this have to change and this is how elite specs gonna work. Ofc you can say “necro is getting a GS” and I will say “because this is making necro more playable, not GS”. Hope you people will understand now how it gonna work now and in the future and stop complaining about “how elite specs are lame”.

I think the complaint more has to do with the fact offhands give the absolute least amount of skills possible when adding new weapons, so they (feel like they) get less new skills added. Furthermore, offhands typically have longer cooldown, less used abilities, which means a new offhand is a lot less game changing than a new mainhand or 2h would be. You won’t get new builds from a new offhand as long as these two points hold water, you just get modified old builds.

(this is purely focusing on the weapons, as the op was focusing on it. Yes there is more than weapons being added.)
