Guild Wars 2

All I want is weapon swap, so I don’t have to leave the fight to switch weapons. I neeeeed MOAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR abilities, muahahahahaha.

:) GS might be nice but we already have it kinda anyways, Torch is the one I can’t understand why we don’t have, were essentially the best class to use a torch, don’tcha think?

Gorni.1764:

1. take all skills from conjures
2. create a single new 2h weapon with those skills
3. replace conjures with useful utilities
4. ?
5. profit

Correct.

Haha I love how some people rage against this idea. I say why not? Why are we aleays limited by the heavy, big weapon, light, caster etc

Though what I would like to see is that we do not directly get access to new weapon, not even scyth:)

But that they maybe change conjured weapons:
Lave axe? Why not just conjured Axe (change abilities per attunement)
Ice Bow? Conjured bow.. Etc etc
Yeah they would have to make 3 new set per weapon, but I think it would be worth it.

Then how do you share it? Might be in fire or in arcane?
A trait saying. “Allow you to conjure an extra version of the weapon with 25 charges and a skillset depending on the attunement you were in while conjuring it”

Stats should be in your main weapons, no bonus, except from the conjured greatsword.
Look well should change with th attunment:)

Just and idea, take it or leave it.

how about this as an idea:
a new elite skill called “glyph of conjuring”
when activated, summons a conjured weapon of your current attunement, this weapon has no time limit or charges, and will change shape based on your current attunement

also, change firey greatsword to an arcane greatsword (because why do we have a fire skill in the elites? the others are element neutral)

there, a new weapon for us to use with little to no work on ANet’s part

ironically, it would fill the concept of weapon swapping better than our attunements, because each weapon has a clearly defined and unique role

the only thing that is keeping me from my ele is the inability to use greatswords and bows… i think they have the coolest skins in the game! plus, after 30 levels with a character, I really get bored with its abilities. Diablo 3, as kittenty as it turned out, had it going with the total custom skill layout. Gw2 did a good job with unique weapon abilities, but I just want more variation in the way I play. greatsword would give me that variation… and power.

I was hoping for a more magical weapons, floating orbs maybe? Trident is also lot cooler than the staff.

I think it would be better if we got a sword.

IMO that’s a bad idea as Elementalist should focus on nuking, however dual scepters or something would be cool.

I want an offhand pistol focused on direct damage with 900 range and a couple mobility tools.

Then scepter/pistol could be the more ranged version of D/D with less control but more single target damage.

Gaudrath.6725:

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.

Yeah , i’d like to shoot fire from my fingertips or bend the earth just by moving my hands , more like Avatar style

I read this and all I could think of was this:

Why not just change fiery greatsword into a glyph, “prismatic greatsword”, then have it give different skills based on the element it’s cast in.

I’m an Ele… no greatsword. This is stupid, I don’t want to be like Mesmer.

I want a 1-handed sword.

I like this idea! But you shouldn’t be able to drop it because I think you could just start spawning infinite weapons to everyone. It would probably replace all the Conjured items and add this into Elite!
