Guild Wars 2

From what i can find on wiki, only guardian’s minor traits, doesn’t specify that u can now use a longbow:

(“The guardian’s resolve has further increased, allowing virtues to be manifested as physical aspects.”)

no mention of it compared to for example the chronomancer:

(“You can equip shields and gain access to chronomancer wells. Gain access to continuum split/shift, which allows you to revert to an earlier point in time.”)

I hoped that was something baseline for all professions, but with new weapons being tied to the elite spec, we will be forced to use it if that’s true.

For what i see in this case, this seems that elite specs are an upgrade to current one, or will just take a slot in specializations if u want to use the new weapon each profession gets.

I understood that u could use the new weapon when u have learned the elite specc, but not to it being tied exclusively.

i wonder if this was a design change or guardians are, at the moment the only exception, by my point of view i see a disadvantage having a new 2hand weapon, and not being able to use it with other specializations, (same thing for necros),

because switching an offhand weapon with another is replacing it with something else, that’s because you have more combinations, but switching a 2h weapon for something else is removing it entirelly.
