Guild Wars 2

Title says it all. I want a ranged main hand before anything and as many mentioned a pistol would be perfect. Please tell us we don’t have to wait first expansion before more weapons per class are added!

Gotta be honest, would not mind running around with duel pistol/duel sword… Sounds pretty epic to me..

I doubt we will be seeing any new weapons any time soon. They haven’t even fixed/balanced everything properly yet. That said I would love to be able to use a bow and duel pistols.

A bow? On a Mesmer? hmmm… While it would be cool. I think not… Anet said that Scholar classes cannot and should not use Bows/rifles/shields/maces. Kinda like adventurer classes cannot use scepters/staves/maces etc etc…

I know bows won’t happen but I just think it would be cool plus I like the feel of bows in this game so it makes me wish I had one even more so.

Gimme a main hand pistol and I will be stoked…. They even call mesmers duelists in Profession description! I call false advertising til we can duel with pistols!

A shield should work nicely on mesmer. Shielding purple auras batman!!!

I don’t wanna be Captain America, but it does sound appealing to wear a shield.

I also want to be able to wear just a single 1h weapon without gimping myself. Aka 2 weaker skills in slot 4-5.

Soo… Dagger, axe, pistol, warhorn. Are our options since we have everything else and the other weapons won’t be allowed on scholar xD

Axe? – Maybe as an off hand? But then dual axe warden will be a bit weird no? I don’t really see to much main hand use feels very awkward with a mess IMO. Other than create an illusion of a giant axe coming down in your enemy as a 2 or skill xD

Dagger? – I could see that as off hand, maybe more mobility related skills? Maybe give us phant rouge aside from being downed xD? Or a Heart seaker / dagger spam rouge?

Pistol? – I’m not much of a gun person but even I would kind of like that MH, I’m sure every mesmer would rush for lyssa sister pistols lol. Though I’d like a quicker weapon set swap aide from “right click equip in off hand” every time I have my sword out between mobs.

Warhorn? – like axe I don’t really see to much with this, maybe calling crystal rain from the heavens (but we all know its really just in their minds xD) give us some more strait Dmg AoE, and I’m stumped on phantasm other than AoE boon / condition that isn’t a bouncing trait.

The only 3 weapons that currently exist that I could realistically seeing us get that would fit the theme of Mesmer are Dagger, Pistol, and Rifle.

While rifle traditionally isn’t something you would see on a scholar class, Mesmer at the same time isn’t exactly normal. I mean we do have a greatsword and it’s effective at long range.

I think if they make a rifle for Mesmer and “invert” it where it’s a close range weapon, it would thematically fit.

I guess since we can only expect weapons that has some sort of connection with magic/light armor, the Orb would be a fine addition to the mages/mesmer weaponry as a single hand or a double hand weapon. But Daishi has a good ideia on the warhorn, i like’d that

Just a note on awesomeness here… Aside from warriors we are the only class in game that duel wields swords. And most warriors don’t do it cuz the skills are a joke for them. ;P

^ spellsword dual wielding why I mained mes since beta haha

Hard time making that effective in DnD

Mainhand Pistol would be great because the mostly terrible scepter is our only ranged 1 hander. Buffing Scepter would also be great.

You need to think outside the box guys:
I want the Nightmare Court Whip for my mesmer!!!!
Need I say more?!?

Win!

/more char

Whips and spears definitely need to be added for land weapons in general. Wouldn’t mind seeing hand weapons, too.

For a mes, MH pistol tops my list, but a whip would be awesome, too. I encourage hand weapons for most classes as well, esp casters and warriors.

I can understand their viewpoint. But man, how cool would that be to have a Mesmer bow, and have it be like on the movie Immortals? With the whole magical arrow animation from pulling string back? I could see something like that kinda fitting well with a Mes. Just an opinion :-/

How about… single-handed wielding. I want to wear just one onehanded weapon without only having 2 skills.

Mainhand Pistol would be great because the mostly terrible scepter is our only ranged 1 hander. Buffing Scepter would also be great.

I think a good buff to the scepter would be returning confusion to the chain at the end of the 1 attack along with the clone. This was removed and kinda ruined the scepter (along with its slow attack speed). More mesmers would go to it for condition damage (which it is still good at) if that confusion was returned to it again. OR OR OR OR… Our scepter clones make clones with their first attack and then who needs deceptive evasion!

While MH Pistol is first on my desired list, I’d also love if they could add fans for our offhands, like in the artwork.

I could see fans as a fcous. And when you have one equipped, your warden wields dual razor edged fans! :p

I don’t care what anyone says about scholars not being able to use bows. But ever since I saw “The Dreamer” I couldn’t help to think how awesome it would be to be able to use that on my Mesmer. Not only do I not care much for the classes that use short bow. But “The Dreamer” doesn’t really fit with either of the classes, either. However, what would be more amazing than being a Mesmer (A class based around messing with the enemies mind) with a weapon called “The Dreamer” that shoots Unicorns?? I would LOVE to have short bow added to the Mesmer. Just my 2 cents.

I want my staff to shoot bolts that look like cats

I would also love to have pistol added as a main hand weapon. Dual pistols and dual swords would be hot on a mesmer. Illusionary duelist is my favorite phantasm. I too dislike the scepter currently, except for the superior clone generation it gives.

Adding main hand pistol would give ANET the perfect opportunity to fix mesmer mobility by adding in an alternative to focus #4 for mobility.

Mesmers wielding bows would make me seriously nerdgasm. PLEASE. Short or long IDC just DO IT.

Dual warhorn please.

I would LOVE for us to have mainhand pistol. It fits the duelist vibe and theme. Plus, offhand pistol… well, we don’t really do anything with it. We shoot one bullet every so often that stuns enemies, but that’s it. I’d love to have a pistol mainhand where we’d actually get to shoot it.
