I posted my suggestions about new weapons in Suggestion sub-forum but it got buried quite fast so I thought I might have better chance posting here in our little lovely mesmer community.
My suggestions are based on a mix of popular demand, need for niche weapons and to go well with each profession theme. So here we go:
New types of weapons:
- Polearms: like spears, halberds, lances, etc. – 2H melee with good cleave radius
- Fist weapons: like katars, wristblades, gauntlets, etc. – MH/OH melee very high damage with extremely close range, and no cleave
- Whips: MH melee AoE with low dmg but high CC capability
New weapons for each profession:
Warrior:
- Polearm (2H)
- Fist weapon (MH/OH)
Guardian:
- MH Shield: 1200 ranged throwing autoattack
- Fist weapon (MH/OH)
Engineer:
- Hammer (2H)
- Fist weapons (MH)
Ranger:
- Polearm (2H)
- Whip (MH)
Thief:
- Fist weapon (MH/OH)
- Whip (MH)
Necromancer:
- Torch (OH)
- Fist weapon (MH)
Mesmer:
- Pistol (MH)(ranged 900, 1200 traited)
- Whip (MH)
Elementalist:
- Sword (MH)
- Torch (OH)
