Guild Wars 2

Decent ideas. A good bit OP though for real…. Lol

Rskin.4901:

I would love a shortbow too

Ah yes, then we can spam unicorns AND butterflies.

You know an interesting exotic weapon that people have not considered as a possibility would be a boomerang. I could see Asura inventing the weapon, or else one of the hunter races like Norn/Charr or possibly even an NPC race like the Hylek (I see this as most likely from their penchant to using blowguns and exotics) that got picked up on by the other races. This would add a very cool weapon type to the game and the types of skills associated could be very imaginative.(I picture lots of attacks that have a “Bounce” effect).

I would really like the hammer as a melee 2h option featuring dazes and leaps and blinds…

In general, I would like more melee options.

MH torch? 3-swing autoattack chain with burning on the third swing; blind + big damage (increased on burning foes) on skill 2 and cripple+clone doing the autoattack chain on skill 3.

MH mace? 3-swing autoattack chain with confusion/boon removal on third swing, block on skill 2 with clone spawn and daze on block, charged cast (similar to churning earth, maybe with smaller radius and shorter cast) that ends with big aoe damage and stun on skill 3

MH dagger? Short to mid range single target fast autoattack (similar to necro axe, but with shorter range and increased damage the closer you are to your target) with bleeds and cripple, short evasion/aoe whirl attack on skill 2, gap closer with clone spawn on skill 3

To fix our lack of aoe oriented weapons: Shortbow: piercing ethereal arrows autoattack and the other skills focused on AoE attacks applying confusion, burning and blinds. The phantasm could do something like ranger’s Barrage or Rapid Fire and the clone could spawn from a movement skill like phase retreat or disabling shot (or maybe targeted like infiltrator’s arrow?).

And for all the mesmer duelists out there, MH Pistol, as mentioned in the rest of the thread.

My next choice would be melee, too. Dagger I suppose. Granting abilities which move you around the target, Ranger 1H Sword style.

We’re Mesmers … why “move” around the target, when we can teleport? Or … Too bad this game doesn’t have a “slow time” effect, it’d be funnier than HELL to have a weapon/ability that did such a thing.

Well bonus points if the auto-attack chain for dagger has me run through the enemy, hitting them, then create me twice, running through the enemy, then finally three of me, running them through.

That’d be fun. Pretty much useless in PvE + broken in PvP, but fun.

Teleport around the target sounds like a neat idea for a dagger attack chain

Nah. Mesmer uses weird weird weapons already… Why not get a mace or something? A mace would be really interesting.
