Guild Wars 2

I was woundering if there only are those few skill in game that are presented with a weapon or will i unlock more later on in weapons.
For instence, i am a warrior and uses a Twohanded mace, and get 5 skills to that twohanded weapon, are that all i got to that weapon or will i unlock more skills to higher lvl weapon ?
The game is great and all, but it lack the skills i can use, and im not talking about swaping weapons to get more skills, i basicly just wounder if there are more than 5 skills to a weapon , cuss at lvl 20 you are used to the skills and whant some new ones,
Also not talking about traits or elite skills , only the ones that comes with the weapon, in my opinion there should be atleast 30 diffrent skills to each weapons

There are no more for that weapon afaik.

If you want more skills, learn to carry two weapon sets. I make it a point on a new character to get one of each weapon type they can use and unlock them all early on in starting areas.

I then choose the two weapon sets that I prefer for that class an roll with those.

You get Utility Skills that you can change around and at level 30 you get access to Elite Skills. But as far as weapon skills go, the 5 or so you have are it.

As Thief I carry 3 different weapons, Pistol/Pistol, Dagger/Dagger and a Shortbow (all skilled out). In that way I got close quarter combat, ranged single target and ranged AOE covered.

There will be no more different weaponskills, however if you want some variety use your weaponswap option, or just go elementalist! Since they have alot more skills per weapon ;]

i am more than satisfied with 5 skills on a weapon / utilities / healing / weapon swich
..the reason i say this is because im using all my skills on the mouse:

(default left lick and right click)
-2 skills on the mouse left side
-2 skills on the mouse right side
-1 skill on the middle mouse button

..any more and i will need a mouse with more than 4 extra buttons

If you’re bored of the 5 skills on your mace, equip a different kind of weapon. greatsword perhaps? Rifle? Warriors have a huge selection, pick a new set of weapons and your skills change a lot.

But a weapon’s skills are preset, predetermined by class. You get the skills that weapon has and that’s that.

What would you want with 30 different mace skills? Have you played a game that gave you 30 different types of direct attack skills…that you used all 30 of?

I’m finding the game to be thoroughly customizable and adaptable, myself. If I wish to change up my playstyle considerable it only takes swapping a weapon, and maybe some utility/heal/elite skills around. You ve access to traits for further cusomizability, depending how you select your traits, your weapon attacks may start to be used it differing ways, or serve different functions, or be better in different sequences etc etc.

I am one of those that would welcome few more weapon skills. I would even like that more than weapon swap.
Like every other game this game has it’s own mechanics and it forces you to adapt to them. Weapon swap, ranged weapons and utilities are necessary if you want to be competitive even if you want to be pure melee damage dealer.

There is no Tank/Healer/DPS in this game (at least not on the first glance). We are all utility classes with few added weapon skills. Revolution of gaming they say. We’ll see.
