Guild Wars 2

I would love to see a Greatsword on this class, but more for melee than it is with the Mesmer.
Plus the legendary would look pretty bad kitten .
Any thoughts?

No.

If anything, either torch or mace.

Only 2H I can really see for them is scythe if they’re ever implemented, but I doubt they will be (plus we already have the scythe animation when staff is used). I’m not feeling greatsword, however I wouldn’t complain if they got greataxe should that ever go in…

I could see Sword, GS or Hammer eventually. Or even a Mace.
This is probably fourth or fifth thread I’ve seen about this, though…

Torch- meh ok could be
Mace- not in 1000 years…

Swords and offhand axe on the other hand.

I’d rather wait for Pole Arms…

I’d like to see new weapons on Necromancers (and other classes) when they come out with a new expansion. Greatswords are the easiest from a resources perspective, but I’d much rather see things like Greataxe.

Greatsword is for OP classes. For new weapon, maybe claw.

Greataxe would sure be awesome (hopefully even with a cleave)

mmm an expasion that adds the staff #1 animation as soon as you equip the staff would make my day for my entire life!

PERMANENT staff 1 animation on staff WOULD BE AWESOME!

Greataxe thread from about a month ago https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/The-Greataxe-The-future-of-necromancy/first#post2097764

Not sure we’d get a Greatsword though, seeing as we don’t use swords already. Can see torch being a possibility now burning has been introduced.

hammer with giant shadowy greataxe blade; make it happen anet =[

hey if trahearne gets a great sword I don’t understand it wont happen.

Problem is, Greatswords are big and sharp which goes against our weapon set;

• Our axes are so blunt they don’t cleave.
• Our daggers are so small you have to be on top of the target to make contact.
• Our staff scythe is just smoke.

I would love for the sword to be added as a Necro weapon, just so I can use the Stygian Blade (http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/gw2-stygian-blade-sword.jpg) on my necro!

It goes so well with my Malefacterym (http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/gw2-malefacterym-daggers-3.jpg)

Id fully support mainhand sword for a more power focused cleave weapon. Dagger is more about sustain and control (except for the auto attack).

I would suspect spear/polearm since it is useable under water. It’s like we come out of the water and get hit with a dumb stick and suddenly don’t know how to utilize the weapon anymore.

that greatsword loooks devilishly necrotic… I wish that there is a staff with that kind of design…

I’m still waiting for a bloody staff.

its a one handed sword
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stygian_Blade
not a GS
… but yeh; i would like it if they’d make every kind of weapon available in each style (i mean; what the hell are you supposed to match eidolon with? there is no other one handed foe fire weapon)

A greatsword focused around reaping souls would be absolutely superb. Give it a proper cleave and tons of opportunities for life force generation. Yeah, I would roll with that.

Just my 2 copper, but my opinion for a more “deathly” weapon is a chain sickle type thing. Make it cleave and I would be sold.

Edit: so i just realized that it is technically a ninja weapon, but give it an awesome skin and it’s necro

IMO…
Greatsword about melee aoe damage and control skills- cleaves, immobilize (Dark Pact belongs here) maybe a fear or some chills.
Dagger about lifesteal and life force generation. If Dark Pact’s effect were moved to the GS then dagger skills #3 could pick up an AoE lifesteal + weakness effect.

Both could do effectively the same single target damage. The differentiating factors would be control/aoe dmg vs greater tankiness. This would leave axe tweak-able to be the undisputed single target damage weapon.
