Two-handed Axe
There will be no new weapons with the expansion.
Arena Net is not obligated to “must” do anything.
In my opinion it’s too similar to greatsword and hammer. You could just make “2 handed axe” skins for either of those weapons and the animation would still fit for it. Why have it be its own weapon at that point?

So what about 1h sword, 1h mace, and 1h axe?
The Greataxe does need to be added to the game along with other new weapons. I’m sure it will happen eventually.
Why is it a must? I’m not trying to be argumentative, but no one actually states “why” it must be in the game. Beyond aesthetics (and yes they do look cool), I’m not seeing what it brings to the game.
Adding new weapon type opens up new skills / ways to play (which means a ton more work for devs)
This would also allow with the elite specializations more diversity. My one fear is they eventually will run out of elite specializations. You know eventually everyone will be able to equip everything…
Same with the staleness that each expansion will just be a new dragon because that seems pretty boring…
Recap: They need more weapons to create more diversity in game play. Suggestions 2-handed axe, fist weapons, scythe, bola, etc
A two handed axe would look so much cooler than a hammer. I’ve always hated the hammer. I wish I could replace hammer skins with double bladed axes. That would be an awesome black lion option purchasable worth gems.
They would look cool, though I fear they’d get the oversize treatment so many of the weapons have.
Darkwolfer, they intend to keep adding elite specs. They haven’t said if those will always include a new weapon, or be profession-changers in other ways. I don’t see how they can run out of spec lines to offer; the problem is more likely they can’t develop them very fast so there will never be a plethora of constant new ones.
They will add it, but its all about time But I really wants Greataxe, do deal massive critical blows or smthing like, that. I mean If devs will support this idea community can suggest skills!(Why not?) and they can add some new traits, but this is really greatwork for other addon
Either as a skin or as a new class of weapons (but in the latter case, please accompanied by new, intriguing abilities/skills to distuinguish them from hammer/greatsword), two-handed axes would be great!!!
