Not to mention, a famous Ranger character in GW1 also uses a hammer during the Norn Fighting Tournament: http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Zho
Considering there was an entire cross-campaign side-quest involving Zho after fighting her in the Norn Fighting Tournament, I’d think Hammers and bunny thumpers are pretty well established for Rangers in GW lore.
Seriously, ANET needs to consider giving us back Bunny Thumpers. They were a really well loved part of Rangers in GW1.

Fair point, but I think the ranger needs a support weapon. At the moment we can support our team quite easily, but really only through utilities. It’d be nice if say staff had some group boons, maybe a water field, and definitely some immob. That way we could get some utility, without having to use our utilities, giving us much more freedom.
It is not what you do, but how and why you do it that counts.

I dunno about this whole rifles and druidic/nature stuff. I mean, there’s little about class lore in the game, apart from few lines on character creation screen. In fact, I play my ranger as an “adventurer” who have found cub when he was exploring caves, rather than “forest sentinel”.
Fact is, variety = good.
I want a third mainhand option. Mace would be okay.
Staff would be great yes. But ranger is no caster class.
And staffs are more aoe weapons and anet is against an aoe able ranger.
What would be nice would be staffs as close combat weapon for us a la bojutsu or chains as 1H or 2H weapons
Third weapon is my idea!
I keep reaching around for my hidden weapon but I can’t get anet to let me do it yet.
Yet.

Variety is always good, and every class uses every weapon differently anyways, so you know that the Ranger’s style of rifle is going to be unique compared to the other professions. Though seriously, we need another melee weapon(mace/Hammer/etc.) or at the very least a support weapon(staff?) before we get another ranged weapon.
I don’t really get that. Why guns are only dedicated for soldiers? Hunters use guns too. Besides, ranger can | use greatsword/sword, and those are obviously military weapons.
And I don’t really know why people think that bow is “natural” weapon. Natural weapon is a club or staff. Bows are artificial, just less advanced than a gun.

The reason a bow is “natural” is because you can easily make ammunition for it in nature, and it’s pretty simple to make a makeshift bow using only items you find in the wild (compared to a real bow it won’t stand a chance granted, but it’s useful nonetheless).
Also, spears would also be considered natural weapons.

For real! ALL THREE ‘adventurer’ professions running around in the same medium armor and dual-wielding pistols would seem totally creative and inspired from a development point-of-view. O.o In terms of skills, what would dual pistols or rifles add that short bow or longbow can’t/don’t do already?
