I remember hearing a comment about them having considered it, but there was nothing to indicate they’re actually planning to do so. I guess I’d say it’s just a possibility for the distant future.

TBH, we can use axes and GSes anyway…

we can also use bows, shields, 2 handed hammers, and punch the ground with enough force to make giant spikes of rock spear our enemies…

I don’t think that physical strength is a problem for any profession :P

It wouldn’t make any sense. The Elementalist is the magician class, with staves, scepters, daggers, foci and wizardly things.

The “battle mage” class is the Mesmer.

I hope the rumors off. Why does the whole game have to be GS? There are more classes that use it than don’t.

I’d prefer Longbow as that’s a more tactical weapon built for long range. I’ll be especially displeased ele does get GS and it’s a long range weapon…like that makes any sense at all >_>

Good lord. If elementalists are getting a new weapon, the mace makes much more sense than the greatsword. The GS is a weapon for warrior/soldier types. I may be nerfing myself, but I won’t even equip one on my mesmer because it’s just so wrong.

Greatsword would be a dumb idea for an elementalist. We already have access to one. You don’t have a staff-summoning skill, and if you’re limited to one weapon group it would be rather foolish to take something you already have.

1 handed sword has my vote, I’ve always liked the whole ‘battle mage’ and given the lack of variety for Ele’s in terms of weapons it would be pretty awesome.

Engineers have a similar problem but at least they have kits that act as a 1 second CD weapon swap.

Sigh.

Ele’s already have a bunch of weapons. Why not just fix the ones we have?

Staff: 1 in all 4 attunements seem to be there to just fill a slot.

Water: 2 is completely stupid. Yes vulnerability is nice but a heal would be better. At least make it a blast finisher?

Air: only air 3,4, and 5 are useful, and the cd is too long. Gust is poo because and half the time it doesn’t work right.

Focus: take the one useful, air 4 off this and put in on the useless staff air 2 where it belongs. Then scrap the rest of the skills and start over. Focus is awful.

Scepter all and all, I’d like to see the condition damaged buffed. Make fire 1 more useful but buffing it.

That is all I can think of right now.

Question on if they plan on introducing new weapon types like scythes or spears.
Colin: Coming up? No, but I certainly wouldn’t rule it out. I think that with the way that the weapon system is built, it’s really easy for us to add new weapons and tie skills to those.”

How is Staff Air #2 useless? It’s a decently hard hitting AoE blind. Put it in your #2 attunement rotations and it works wonders but faster than the other attunement #2s.

Well what about bows? It’s not quite traditional for sorcerers to use bows but it’s not unheard of (unlike daggers). Also, bow isn’t a dueling weapon which is the concept of Mesmer so no bow for them.

Ideally, I feel every type of profession should use every type of weapon just like you have a soldier class using scepters and staff, and a scholar using pistols and greatswords.

Honestly, something that looked like bare hands casting, like gauntlets, would fit much better than a greatsword.

That, or 1H sword, that would also fit nicely. Or longbows. We could use a long range single target DPS weapon.

Completely disagree. Access to many weapon types is one of the perks of the warrior and soldier-type classes. Their specialties are tied to having such a variety of weapons to use. Warriors, especially, have little else other than basic toughness.

Scholar-type classes have tons of flexibility, unlike the warriors, that is not tied to having a variety of weapons. That’s one of the sacrifices you make choosing a scholar. If all classes have all weapons, then the specialness of the warrior becomes null.

I wouldn’t mind a bow. The greatsword is what really makes no sense.

My thinking on the daggers was using them for incantations and such. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a lot of wizards/witches uses daggers for rituals and things.
