Guild Wars 2

So I’m assuming spirit weapons have dropped out of the game for the most part?

They aren’t even as much mentioned in the changes. No buffs to increase their usefulness in any game mode. Anet says Guardians are in a “good place.” Well hell not even all their utilities are useful… Those spirit weapon traits just seem to take up space that can be used for actually interesting traits.

And just what do we know about spirit weapons???
Are they like pets, minions or mesmer clones?
Do they have any survivability? What are their HP values?
Do they scale with guardian damage or have their own separate damage values?

I mean you don’t see them period and Anet just thinks they are in a “good place.”

Will these utilities ever become useful?

Not any time soon

We haven’t actually seen the balance pass changes, but hope does seem limited.

One of the reasons I wanted to play the guardian is because the spirit weapons were unique. But there’s really no reason to use them. So I am very sad that the devs didn’t even try to make them viable.

I guess ArenaNet has forgotten that there is this Spirit weapons. No one use them ever. How would you know that they are there then? . -)

I played Guild Wars since the beta and wait since that Spirit Weapons are finally playable.

Please, please, someone from devs has to give a statement on this. Please?

Wouldn’t it be great if spirit weapons were actually summoned and used by the guardian as a direct main hand/offhand weapon? Could still keep the current traits that affect spirit weapons even, may be redesign a few…

Meh, I’d prefer that they add in utility tomes, and then while they’re at it, they can do their jobs properly and fix spirit weapons (like that’ll ever happen). Spirit weapons are great ideas, so I don’t think they should be replaced. It’s just that the devs completely ignore half of the guardian’s utility skills.
