Guild Wars 2

I haven’t seen a thread dedicated to a Revenant weapons wishlist for those that haven’t been revealed yet so I thought I’d add one (either that or Search has failed me again).

What weapons do you want to see on a Revenant? You can also discuss why you’d like them if you want, whether they’re for asthetics or practicality, or whatever your reasoning.

My personal:
1. Greatsword: This weapon just makes sense on a heavy armorer. Also, weapons like Eternity almost breath Revenant! GS is also my favorite.
2. Sword (Main and Offhand): Dual swords have got to be the next in line for my favorite look.
3. Dagger (Main and Offhand): Same as #2.
4. Longbow: Same as #3.

As you can tell, I’m a huge blade fanatic. I especially hope my #1 and #2 make it to the “cut.”

Anyways, what’s on your wish list?

1. No greatsword. They’re ugly, the animations are petty bad, and they’re generic, everybody and their mother can use a greatsword. The only reason people want one is because they’re the generic meta weapon among the classes who can use them, and assume Revenant’s will be the same. Or they want it to slap their Twilight/Sunrise on (Which are also ugly for the record.)

2. Sword. From what we’ve seen so far in leaked footage and the trailer, it looks pretty nice.

3. Rifle. Nobody gets to use rifle. Engineers get to use them, which really is their only use, considering Warrior’s got nerfed into the floor at the end of last year. and Thief gets it now, but its still a sparsely used weapon.

4. Shortbow. I feel like Shortbows are underused in comparison to longbows, and Revenant strikes me as the profession that would be a very quick, front line fighter, that would be up in the enemy’s grill, so a longbow doesn’t really suit them in my opinion.

5. Offhand pistol. Rytlock.

I think some kind of banishing skills with a rifle would be really fun with revenant. Although it would be hit or miss depending on how they designed it. Plus I agree no classes really can use a rifle well at this point. Engineer uses kits for most part and war rifle just… well I’ll leave it at that.

1. Greatsword – I enjoy longswords, and Zojja’s Claymore with Ebonblade’s skin thrown on it is about as close as I can get.
2. Sword – Standard “brawler” type weapon, and fits thematically.
3. Shortbow – I’d say Rifle or Longbow, but Rifle doesn’t seem to fit with “ancient legends” and Longbow is something you’d have in the back line of fighters, not upfront like the Revenant will be.

I hope for dagger/dagger…

As side note i dont think that rifles and pistols will be given to the revenant because they said on stream that the revenant will be the most backwards profession (while engineer is the most forward) and pistols and rifles are more modern weapons.

I’d like a main hand torch.

Well, swords and magical weapons are among my favourites, so I would like to see Revenant get some of them:

1. MH Sword
2. Off Hand Sword
3. Greatsword
4. (Melee) Staff
5. Scepter
6. Focus

I also wouldn’t mind to see them with bows or guns/ rifles. In fact, the profession I play with (elementalist, guardian, mesmer) do not have access to these weapons, with the exception of mesmer’s off hand pistol.

And yes, greatsword please. I don’t care if it’s cliché or over-used. Twilight/ Sunrise are the only legendary skins I like so far, and greatsword’s attack animations are usually some of the most visually impressive and fluid.

Another of these threads (seems we just keep getting new threads on existing topics). Alright, I’ll play along though.

-Hammer (confirmed)
-MH Mace (confirmed)
-OH Axe (confirmed)
-MH Axe
-MH & OH Sword
-OH Dagger
-Staff (melee)

In concept art is a rev with dual swords. That would be cool except they screw the skills

Duel swords and melee staff

Scepter: Basic ranged attacks using the forces of the Mists

Shield: Creates barriers of energy and protects the wielder

Daggers: Quick teleporting and speedy attacks, cutting rifts in the fabric of reality

Focus: Channels mist energies in it’s most raw form

Warhorn: Calls forth the voices of the mists

Torch: Acts as a beacon for Mist energy to gather

(also, on a side note. “Pistols, because Rytlock” is kinda inaccurate, the class has nothing to do with Rytlock’s combat style, he adapted to being a Revenant, the Revenant didn’t adapt to being him)

Mainhand axe. (as offhand is already confirmed)
I really want to duelwield my axes…

Sword Mainhand and Sword Offhand
Staff
Hammer
Axe Main Hand and Axe Off Hand
Mace Main Hand
Shield Off Hand
Great Sword
Warhorn
Scepter

Warhorn, fits the theme with calling on the mists don’t you think?

Shortbow: ’cause it give me the idea of melee warrior. Shortbow is more wild, more feral.

Scepter: why not? I like the idea of a full plate armor character with a scepter. For the same reason using the hammer as a ranged weapon is a cool idea. And I said more: I wish TWO scepters, one for both hand.

Focus: in the main hand, same reason of the scepter.

Torch: because its a cool weapon. Evoking a spirit from the flame of your misty torch…

Shield: we are speaking of a heavy profession, aren’t we? :P

One handed sword for both hands: a Power focused melee weapon.

Daggers for both hands: a Precision focused melee weapon.

Hammer: long range weapon (1.200).

Axes for both hands: medium range weapon (900).

Maces for both hands: condition based melee weapon.

And that’s it. I hope we get no greatsword (it’s WAY overused) and no bow – we have already been shown that the hammer skills have 1200 range, and the axe skills have 900 range, so there’s no need for more ranged weapons.

I’d definitely want a GS on the Revenant.

Shield and melee staff.
Maybe Focus for support oriented moves, more moving walls like Hammer #4 >:D.

I’m thinking the Revenant needs to be different than Guardian and Warrior.

I’m guessing it’ll have:
Hammer, Staff, Great Sword
Dual Swords and Pistols
Main Hand Mace
Off Hand Axe and Focus
Long Bow

Argon.1563:

1. No greatsword. They’re ugly, the animations are petty bad, and they’re generic, everybody and their mother can use a greatsword.

Cobalt was the first exotic I looted and perfect for my guardian. I love it. But I sort of agree. As a general rule greatswords are over-sized – some of them grossly – and I often feel like my character should be about to fall over the way they’re carrying it. I wouldn’t miss them on a revenant.

But I’m not hugely bothered by their weapon selection. I suppose I’d like a staff or at least one ‘caster’ type weapon.

I hope they can use greatsword. I wont probably use it as sword/x or staff seems to be a really interesing choise over gs for the first time. But unlike other selfish ppl here i don’t want to take away the possibility to wear gs if ppl want to.

After all its a class in heavy armor, not some dude in cloths. Why i don’t see anyone complaining about necros getting gs? Right..

MainHand:
-Sword
-Dagger
-Mace

Offhand:
-Sword
-Dagger
-Axe
-Pistol

-Hammer
-Staff

Specialisation:
-Maybe Torch or focus
-Shield

Underwater
Spear (complete the symmetry with a spear-only underwater class)

Two-hand
Longbow
Staff

Main-hand
Sword
Pistol
Dagger

Off-hand
Sword
Pistol
Torch

• No shield. This is the more aggressive heavy profession. They should be able to defend themselves without hiding behind a physical shield.
• Warhorn. I want to hear the legends shouting in battle!
• Focus. Could be pretty good for energy maintenance.
• Rifle. We haven’t seen it on magic-users yet.
• Staff. I just want to thwack enemies in the head with a stick, you know?
• Longbow. I have this mental image of a train of slow, glowing arrows that track their target like missiles. As soon as one hits, the rest in the air speed up and zoom in for the kill. Accelerated arrows do bonus damage according to how far they travel, so enemies that kite just increase the length of the chain and ultimately suffer more damage.

Some pretty cool ideas. Thanks for participating!

Hope the devs see some of these ideas if they haven’t finalized their plans yet.

Hey check out Angry Joy interview.

There is a Revenant wielding a offhand Focus
with what appears to be a Main Hand dagger.

Opinions on this?

Duel swords, or Sword/Foci. Pretty good guess. PVE Meta set FTW.

Dont want greatsword. Its overplayed. Necro is the only one that deserves to over-saturate this weapon further.

Yuck? MH dagger is okay though, but not another Focus user.

Still crossing my fingers for GS and MH/OH Swords.

you must be dreaming, because the beta build they provided does not have dagger focus revenant

What weapon is this in this Revenant’s hand on the wall paper?

One handed sword. It has a sword handle.

Some say it is a sword, while others say, it is a bow or a staff.

Personally i think it is just something the artist made to make the revenant look cool and it shouldnt be taken too seriously but who knows.

Great Sword and dual Sword.

In Order:

Greatsword: It took me two years, three rage quits, help from tons of people and bleeding my GF’s bank dry to make sunrise. If Revenant can’t use it, And seeing as this is the only real selling point for me with this game.. I’ll have to rethink if I want to spend my money here.

Sword Main Hand: I like my blades, what can I say? Also, that skill Rytlock pulled off in the teaser video (Mist-form, bouncing between three targets) makes me drool.

Axe Main Hand: I love what the Ax can do Off-hand, I’d love to see what it could pull off Main handing.

Dagger Any/Both Hands: Nothing sexier then two blades to mist-gut people with!

Ranged Weapon: Something that is more DPS focused, I love the hammer, but it’s not really a ranged DPS weapon, as Hammers are apparently more about “control” then anything else.

^Hammer is definitely a dps weapon.

of all things i just want them to be able to dual wield swords (and have it not completely suck.)

though that off-hand axe is tempting.

A potato.
Skill 1: Throw potato with a chance to stun yourself in the process
Skill 2: Plant the potato with enough RNG to turn into onions or other stuff other then potatos
Skill 3: Eat potato and get fat making u move slow
Skill 4: Peel potato and make your enemies laugh at how pathetic you are
Skill 5: Give potato to someone else and share the shame because this is a social game <3
Elite: Wrath of the Potato in which the ghastly misty ghost of the Potato god makes u throw potatoes in all directions and miserably miss everyone. Specially useful in WvW.

melee staff and sword/sword is all i need

Short bow

Kinda curious to see the skills that would be on this since you cannot weapon swap.

1. Melee Staff. I think we saw Rytlock using one in the gameplay trailer in this fashion, so this is pretty much in already.

2. MH Sword. Same as Staff.

3. No GS. If ANet is going to be different with the Revenant by having ranged Hammer and condi Mace, the next natural step would be a heavy armor class that doesn’t use a Greatsword.

Also, it’s not a “wishlist” per se, but I think I’d find it kinda amusing if there was no OH Mace (normal-ish) or MH Axe (not normal) skills, and the Rev can only wield a mace MH and an Axe OH. Would probably want to throw another weapon in there if that was the case though… maybe OH dagger?

I’d love either sword or greatsword to be really quick weapons, that’s first thing.

Second, their attacks should naturally “chain” or have an option to empower them through certain patterns and energy management.

Also, I dream about skill based on energy which is just a single block, transferring part of blocked attack “kinetic power” back in Revenant’s next attack.

Also, animations which would actually make sense. Pirouette, thrust, guard, lowcut… Although when it comes to greatswords, that could look quite ridiculous with such oversized fantasy weapons.

They never said anything about the Staff being a melee weapon, but they did show a staff being used as a melee weapon and they confirmed that weapons would be used in new ways with each specialization. I did see vids on how the devs were claiming that the art team had too much freedom and animated a staff being used as a melee weapon and that feature not actually being in the game. We’ll soon see the truth.

No, they said the art team made the staff look like a spear, and put many spears in the video art leading up to HoT, but no sea weapons on land. So clearly that was a staff for Melee. People started to debate that it was a hammer and not a staff, but that’s now been disproven because hammers are ranged weapons not Melee.

That was a Melee staff. Revenant is a combo of the GW1 Dervish and Ritualist, in played armor. Dervish fought Melee with Scythe weapon.

In GW2, the Scythe is a staff, as there are many staff skins that are Scythe.
Staff is there Melee weapon.

Now this may mean, that they don’t get Greatsword, baseline.
And I am kind of doubting they get a specialization that uses great sword, since it appears as if each specialization in HoT, is being themed around different weapons. We havnt seen any overlapping new weapons for specializations yet, which is what I am basing this theory on.

sword, dagger, greatsword

dps, power

mobility, fast

No GS or shield, MH sword,staff, focus,OH dagger,LB.

I saw someone mention in another post that Sword and Dagger OH has been seen before? Anyone know the source for this? At most the only thing I’ve seen so far is Rytlock weilding his sword in the initial trailer. However, not all NPCs follow the same weapon limitations as players.

Still crossing my fingers for GS and Dual Swords. If they don’t make GS part of the base class, I hope they at least add it as the Spec.

When they first showed off HoT content in ready up, there was another character in there that may or may not have been a Revenant, and was using Sword/Dagger as their weapon.
