Yay! More AoE that we didn’t need! And warhorn! The worst, most visually neglected weapon in the game with terrible skins and animations!
But we got Elemental Attunement as a master so at least we got that going for us. Right? Right?

What on earth are you two going on about? There’s no confirmation we are getting a warhorn, in fact the strongest evidence we have, datamined elementalist skills, showed that we are either getting an axe or a sword, unless you know of some way that a warhorn can be a main hand weapon with skills that include slashing and stabbing.
Actually there is rather a lot of evidence that we are getting a Warhorn (I have to agree with others, it sucks). A Warhorn skin has been datamined with a water/cloud theme, you can find out more on Reddit.
Sadly most of the data-mined sword skills were placeholder dagger skills, so it’s perfectly plausible for them to have decided to scrap that idea and go with Warhorn instead.

Which hopefully they’ll scrap as well. Debut of awesome new system for introducing cool updates to classes and they go with the most boring weapon (not even a real weapon tbh) in the game that has the worst skins and animations.
Way to hype it up. Warhorns blow, don’t go with it.

I totally agree. I was super excited when I saw that Sword Elementalist was actually a possibility, I’ve waited a long time for it. My heart sunk a little yesterday when I read that Warhorn may be on the table. Please Anet.. just no, go back to sword.

I had to log off and go to bed. I’m still upset at it TBH that it might be the case. Sword had me all excited to no end, and this ruined it (will ruin it if it’s true).

My warhon can slash and thrust and do incredible damage to cotton candy!

warhorn is still 8 new skills bear in mind.

I would be ok also with 2h weapon with 20 new skills and 5th attument for even more.
And all I can think of when I see that image is this scene.

Agreed. The most upsetting and disappoiting thing about the expansion so far. I was incredibly excited about a Sword themed elementalist called Tempest, with physical skills. And now, a horn? Seriously? I would be incredibly kittened off if that’s actually the case. Let’s really hope it’s still Sword…

Guys let’s stay on topic this is not about the crappy warhorn, we have a thread for that!…
but with that said if we do get warhorn… I will stop playing and come back at a later time when they add better specs… But stay on topic about the awesome background for the tempest!

That’s like saying this is evidence we are going to get a Raven based specialization. It’s a skin, and nothing more, with no real connection to our specialization. If being ‘wind’ based automatically means its part of our specialization than I expect to be given the full suite of Zephyr weapons upon the release of HoT.
And they were on daggers because that’s how you test new abilities in a game, you put them on an existing game object, its a giant waste of time and resources to create entirely new game objects just for testing purposes.

Unfortunately it is not just like that.
That Warhorn skin was datamined within a series of Ascended weapons, all coming from the latest patch, all with peculiar stats, and most being known Elite Specialization weapon skins, showed in the previews.
So no, unfortunately there’s a consistent rationale to think this Warhorn is not a generic skin, but an Elite Specialization one. May still not be the case, for sure, and I HOPE it is not the case. But it’s not that far-fetched.

Man I was so excited for HoT, but getting warhorn would just kill any anticipation I had for the expansion. Warhorn is so lame compared to ANY of the other weapons in the game. Cmon Anet…. I really really hope that is just a gemstore skin or something.
Last thing we need is another offhand weapon. We need dual staves, with main hand/second hand changing skills from the normal staff skills.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well that picture is worth nothing. It doesn’t really show anything different that what the current ele couldn’t do.
