Guild Wars 2

As a future elite specialization, what if an entirely new weapon was introduced to the game, and was available to all classes as their new elite spec? Each profession would use it in a different way and have a different feel along with the usual new skills. It would be difficult to find a single weapon that could feasibly be used 9 varying styles. I’m all for 2-3 new weapons spread across the professions (ie one new weapon per armor class); that would increase the difficulty and workload of making new skins though.

As many others are I’m interested in seeing new weapons in the game- but with Anet’s style it seems like elite specs would be the best way to introduce an entirely new weapon option to the game. Thoughts?

Suggested a million times before. If you did so the skin selection would be very limited compared to other weapon types. Furthermore why would a new type provide something a current one cannot? Sword can be ranged for ele, dagger can be ranged and guns can do a smack, smack, shoot combo.
