Guild Wars 2

as a melee weapon or ranged?

Personally i would love if GS was a 1200 single target heavy damage and CC weapon with cleavage. Make the ele move the GS a lot too, and flashy animations!

Your choice for when this add this weapon to our kitten nal? (hopefully first choice)

It should shoot purple lasers and have a hard hitting whirl aoe.

ohwait

I would honestly prefer a bow. I think it could be epically done. Plus then I’d have a reason to make the Dreamer or Kudzu

Edit

Also, we have a greatsword that has melee and range options, I sort of like the hybrid.

Greatsword is played out already, rather have 2 foci or scepters.

ohwait

while we are at it lets remove the purple laser, the whirling part and add skils like that of the fiery greatsword different variants for different elements, different ranges and uses for different attunements and call it elementalist GS.

Im definitely down for Longbow too, but only after GS.

Yeah. It kind of saddened me that the most awesome animation of the legendary is only viable to ranger and thief. If only icebow can shoot unicorn….

I’d like a melee weapon that actually gets used as a melee weapon sometimes. Impale my target and then my sword releases a fiery explosion while it’s inside them. Stuff like that. Doesn’t need to be that for every skill (and shouldn’t) but definitely would be great to have for some of them.

Ele should be able to wield 2 greatswords.

Hehehe

No, thank you.

I want a longbow and long range single target DPS while we’re at it.

Then I’ll craft a kudzu and be happy forever.

Uh, how are you forgetting the Rifle?

Imagine it.

dual shield, just because

In all honesty, if they were to give us a new weapon, it’d either be the sword or the greatsword.

Why greatsword when we have an elite conjure? Where’s your logic?

Why a bow/shield/hammer when we have a conjure?

Because the sword/greatsword are the ones most likely to “fit” into the wizard role. Personally I hope they throw us a loop and give us something nuts like the rifle or pistols.

I wouldn’t say greatsword for a elementalist. A sword seems more fitting but putting that aside I’d say melee. Seperate us from mesmers a bit.

We have a greatsword already. Our current options would be sword, mace, pistol, rifle and torch.

kitten greatsword we already have one..I vote for whip or for Quarterstaff

I’d like to see Shortbow as a second 2H weapon choice (Just expand FrostBow and replace the skill) and Torch as a ranged companion to scepter.

I would love greatsword for ele. Why? Because ANet prefers greatswords. Just look at all the awesome greatsword skins and compare them to weapons like scepter, focus, dagger etc.

We need another 2H weapon for sure. We only have access to 4 weapons and the only 2H weapon is staff. A greatsword would be great. But please no f****ng greatsword that shoots lasers(this is GW2, not Star Wars). Instead give us some melee attacks, because the only real melee attacks we have is dagger MH.

Dual pistols FTW
Bullets would match the attunement and we would have our own unload, that would make me partially forget about my Thief alt

For the love of god … no.

Please no more Melee/Short Range weapons. With our lifepool/toughness/armor … getting into range of warriors during their circle hammer jerk is painful enough. Staff is bad for WvW outside of zergs and Scepter is all 900 range or less. We need a long range weapon that will allow us to answer freaking rangers.

Gandalf had Glamdring. So just a sword not GS. Of course it was his off hand.

Eles already have a Greatsword (FGS) so we will probally not get it :/ but I still hope for duel one-hand sword

A p/p ele sounds pretty cool, but that would also mean we’d have pistol/focus, pistol/dagger, dagger/pistol, and scepter/pistol combos too. Adding two more weapons would open up a ton of possibilities for experimentation.

As for my choice, I wouldn’t mind seeing us get a mace if only because it seems to be not as popular as the greatsword.

My opinion:
Necromancer: Greatsword
Mesmer: MH Pistol
Guardian: Longbow
Warrior: Shortbow
Ranger: Rifle
Thief: Mace
Elementalist: Torch

Trying to think if Gandalf ever used Glamdring along with his staff in the movie, and I’m drawing a blank. He did wield it with both hands though, I remember that clearly. In the games, he did use the staff and sword at the same time, but his sword was in his right hand and the staff in his left. As he’d been depicted as right-handed (using his right hand to hold everything from his staff to his pipe), this would mean that Gandalf used the sword as his main hand weapon, and the staff was the off-hand. And now I feel like a lore nerd.

Personally? I’d say triple-wield staves.

eles need a sword or elemental scythe

I’d like a pistol/s or Rifle for my Ele (elemental bullets)

now slightly off topic
Hammer for my Necro
and some range for my Guardian (LB probably)

CMstorm.8679:

Ele needs 1200+ ranged attacks.

I want a single-target oriented long range weapon. Longbow, dual torches, I don’t care, just make it happen.

Taldren.7523:

Necromancer: Greatsword
Mesmer: MH Pistol

Warrior: Shortbow
Ranger: Rifle
Thief: Mace
Elementalist: Torch

You forgot a class.

dual rifles? I like it!

Taldren.7523:

CMstorm.8679:

Ele needs 1200+ ranged attacks.

So make scythe a 1200+ ranged weapon. When your casting spells, all issues about actually hitting go out the window

So did Anet. BOOYAH!

scythe with 1200 melee attack range…

Yes.

Spear please.. and a honeybadger on a leash.

Although greatswords would be awesome, I don’t think we’d likely get something we can conjure. So I’m going to throw my hat in with 1h swords. The sword legendary also matches eles nicely

You and I think alike, sir.

Especially if they gave the shortbow some of the mobility/evade tricks that other professions have.

Make it a Gunblade. Then you get a pistol and a sword

Didn’t he do that at the end of the battle for Helmsdeep? It’d have been from horseback though.

• No Greatsword.
• Change all of our 1H weapons to full 5-skill slots.
• Make all off-hand weapons modifiers to main hand.

Off-hand dagger adds conditions to our main-hand attacks based on it’s rune.
Off-hand focus (lives up to it’s name) focuses main-hand attacks to increase damage.
2H weapon skills would be on-par with a 1H+off-hand combo.

Just my suggestion anyway.

He did, him and Pippen (sp?) were getting attacked, Gandalf slashed a few orcs and then Pippen had his HUZZAH moment when he stabbed one.

Hmm, maybe. Great, now I’ll have to rewatch the movies again. Guess I’m booked for the day.
