Guild Wars 2

“What’s more is that the team is also working very kitten finding a way to make it so that every profession has access to every weapon and their own weapon skills for those previously locked weapons.” – article from somewhere

Welp, time to see how this works out:

Sword (Main hand only)

¹ Taser

Plung your sword into the enemy, electrifying their vitals and dazing when it ends.

Channel Time: 1.5s (Can move during channel)
Range: 150
Daze Time: 1/4s

400 damage (per second) base

² Unstable Field

Create a ring of unstable energy around you. Foes that enter it will be knocked toward the center.

Cool down: 12s
Duration: 2s
AoE: 300
Knockback: 160 (just in case!)
Cast Time: Instant (will not break channeling)
Other: Unblockable
Combo Field: Lightning

300 damage base

³ Rusty Saw

Spin around with a rusty saw blade, applying torment and poison to nearby enemies

Cooldown: 10s
Cast Time: 1/2s
AoE: 225
Torment(x5): 5s
Finisher: Whirl

200 damage base

Heh, and just today i was checking out some weapons i looted while poking around Ascalon. A steam axe and a electric torch. Either would from a style point of view fit perfectly with the steampunk engineer.

While those ideas sounds funky (and also disbalanced), I was just wondering why you didn’t choose a staff instead of a sword?

Since staff has five skills, and staff is mainly a magical weapon? A staffgineer would look like an air-attuned ele tbh.

So? We are in essence replicating the flexibility of elementalists via technological means anyways.

Two-handed axe!
