Guild Wars 2

I’m not going to lie, I want crossbows badly in this game, especially for Engineers and Guardians, moreso for Engi’s. This would be a new weapon type to equip, not a kit. This would be more of a power weapon, with the main focus as setting up lightning combo fields, since what other profession does electricity better than the engineer?!!

1. Speed Bolt- Fire a bolt at your foe. Pierces. (20% projectile). 1200 range.
Re-load- Fire a second bolt at you foe. Pierces.
Quick Shot- Fire a third and final bolt at your foe. Pierces, 1 sec swift on hit.

2. Aimed Shot- Hold and channel to aim at your foe for up to 3 seconds. Must remain stationary. The longer you hold, the faster and farther and more damage your bolt flies. 600, 900, and 1200 range for each second channeled. 1/2 second quickness on hit. (20% projectile finisher). No recharge.

3. Grappling Shot- Shoot a bolt with a rope connected at your foe. 1 sec
knockdown on hit. 800 range. 15 sec Recharge. (Projectile finisher)
Grappling Pull- Pull your target to you. Inflict 1.5 seconds of Torment. (Leap finisher.)

4. Improvised Bolts- Fire 3 consecutive bolts (1.5 sec cast time channeled, but can cast while moving) in an arc at target location that inflict a random condition (daze, chill, or vulnerability) and grant a 1.5 second distortion effect on yourself. 30 sec recharge. 1200 range. Lightning Field (duration is 1 second per bolt actually fired.).

5. Electric Bolt Volley- Fire a hail of bolts at target area, shocking each target in the area for each second hit with a 1 second daze. Pulses 5 times in 5 seconds. 35 sec recharge. 1200 range. Lightning Field (duration 5 seconds).

Awesome man! I have thought I would be great to have both crossbows and Electric fields/more electricity for engineers but never thought about putting them together!

Great ideas!

This is a cool idea. I like it. I’d want to ensure there were metal electric looking crossbows (no way my engineer is using some flimsy wood thing.)

Anet,make it so.

It’s usually a bad idea to be so specific in suggestions, unless they are asked for by the developers, because copyright law means Anet’s lawyers won’t let them touch this with a 100-foot pole.

That being said, I would love to see crossbows in the game.

Bump1!!!!!!!!!

Just hire this guy, he knows stuff :P.

Good brainstorming.

I’m pretty sure that anything posted on their forums they have full rights to. Not entirely sure on that, but wouldn’t be surprised.

I love the idea of a crossbow and with the lightning theme on it…… even better.
