Guild Wars 2

I would like to dual wield pistols please.

I know this has been talked about before. Duelist trait line by namesake says we should dual wield pistols.

Thanks.

End of transmission.

Dueling =/= Dual-wielding

Dueling =/= Dual-wielding

i know. it was suggesting a play on words.

Well I hate to burst your bubble but do you really want a weapon set as horrid as the Thief P/P set? sure it looks cool, but it sucks so bad.

We don’t talk about that. We also don’t talk about how easily ANet could fix Thief P/P.
Luckily, it’d be hard to kitten up Mesmer Pistol. Considering OH Pistol’s already solid.
Oh, wait … Thief OH Pistol’s solid, too

Mesmer … with main hand pistol …. hell would this look stupid and make no sense

it would make tons of sense. tell me how a dual wield sword caster makes sense? pistols make sense

What is more mystical – a sword or a pistol ? -.-’’ Seriously. Image how a pistol get pulled out of a stone to choose the new king for example hue

Mystical pistols?
Emiya Kiritsugu, from Fate/Zero
Gene Starwind, from Outlaw Star

Sure, only the first character mentioned is an actual “Mage,” but obviously the precedent exists in some format. Not to mention, we left the “High Fantasy” bus FAR behind, with Charr Steampunkery and Asuran Magitech.

Well in anime’s there could even be a magical iphone or something … but ye, ture, after all that steampunk stuff I guess it would be acceptable

I prefer another set of melee weapons.

Why not a fan and a pistol? Pistol because this isn’t the first thread I see where ppl want a MH pistol. And fan … well.

Seriously – we need this!!

All of this depends heavily on what role Anet would make MH pistol. Would you want a MH pistol if they went with more of a cc/lockdown/interrupt focus, which is clearly a Mesmer forte? While that would be intriguing, I’m thinking we should be specific about what we want in this weapon. From what I’ve personally read over the past year, most people want an option for a more viable MH power weapon instead of being locked into scepter when taking a MH/OH in each set.

The MH pistol servers the function of a Power/Ranged 1 handed weapon as currently we do not have. Another ranged option that is not 2hd based would be a good thing. We also need a 2hd that is not ranged, as currently both of our 2hd weapons are both ranged so splitting the options of types 1hd/2hd and use power/cond will be key as the game moves forward, hopefully we will see these additions in the near future.

I for one, am eagerly awaiting the release of a Main hand pistol as it will complete my build (& play style) instead of me having to rely on 1hd sword for both main hands.

Pistol
———
1: Hybnotic Shot

• damages without a chain. simple one shot, like the engi pistol 1.
• about the same damage as the scepter but a bit faster
• after each hit a butterfly surrounds the enemy for X seconds (stacks up to Y times)

2: Shatter Beam

• like the mesmers in orr with their BZZ BZZZ skill :P you know – like a basilisk.
• deals damage (up to 5 tagets, line) and shatters the butterflies to deal 1 stack of vournability per butterfly to surrounding enemies too for Z seconds.

3: Flashlight Powder

• a big spiral bullet flies to the target and deals aoe damage and shatters all the butterflies. every putterfly will cause blindness to surrounding enemies and deal minor damage.

Image there are many butterflies^^

What do you think? :o

Just give us unload on skill 2 and basically everyone will be happy.

Each class needs a unique feel though. Mesmer is a magic wielding class that can dual-wield swords which the thief cannot. I’d rather they come out with new weapons like the halberd, whip, or, as others have mentioned, the fan.

Only want MH pistol cuz I think Quip is so mesmerish, but it’s kind of a waste in OH spot.

….or, as others have mentioned, the fan.

Yay we get a new focus…..um…right.

So you want focus as a main hand, I’m cool with that, don’t see why anyone would say they don’t want more options to choose from though.

Dev’s have stated they want to give more weapon options to all classes, and not necessarily just new weapon types. I can honestly see both focus and pistol being added as main hands at some point simply because it does fit the Mesmer style depending how the abilities look. Butterfly bullets…can hear the nerf cries now, "she downed me with a $#%#%#$%# butterfly!!! "

Come on you smiled at that didn’t you…

Only if we get a fan lift like Kitana

I’d like to have it work like this:

1) <random autoattack name>
- 0.5s casting time
- 900 range
- medium damage
- 1s bleed
- 20% projectile finisher

→ I want to to be slighty worse than the engi autoattack because of the clones also applying bleeds.

2) Flicker
- no casting time (but can’t be used during other skills/while disabled)
- 8s cd
- 1200 range
- 1s stealth (basically just there for dropping targets)
- summons a clone at the same position

→ Every mh weaon so far has a clone skill that works as an active defense. We already have enough blocks on other weapons so i wanted a simple target drop to confuse the enemy, like the class was intented to.

3) Chaotic Salvo
- 1s channel
- 12s cd
- 900 range
- medium damage (x3)
- fires three shots:
— first applies 6s poison
— second applies 4s confusion (3 stacks)
— third applies 2s burn
- pierces and hits up to 3 enemies

→ Mesmer need a reliable way to apply poison to deal with high-healing classes (warrior, ele, guardian). It also fits in the mesmer-theme without using RNG.

just give us a mace or axe. id like to have a mh pistol but we need another mh welee weapon way more than range

I’d like another 1-hand melee weapon too, but bear in mind that we already have a really strong 1-H melee weapon in the sword. We don’t have a good 1-H ranged weapon, only the scepter, which is widely regarded as rubbish. The MH pistol would fill this missing weapon slot nicely, and I’d love to see it.

I personally like the scepter but I agree. However, we have a GS and staff for range, we just want another another mh ranged weapon because our off hand weapons are so good. We have 3 ranged weapons and 1 melee, thats not good

Scepter would be good enough for me if they remove the clone generation of #1 and have a constant firing speed (just like guardian # 1 scepter).

Otherwise, yeah put some condition on #1 and gives a power pistol anmainhandI dont want another melee mainhand, sword is sooo good.
