Guild Wars 2

Don’t get me wrong, I love Rev, no doubt.

But there is one thing that bugs me: weapons. They feel rather lacking in variety.

main
1 range (favors power)
1 power weapon
1 condition weapon
1 support weapon

offhand
1 power weapon
1 condition weapon (that you wont use with a power build or main hand due to redundant second shadow step)
1 support weapon

It’s all so hideously cut and dry. We’re already tied to always using specific legends that we can’t customize. Rev strikes me as a class that absolutely needs a myriad of weapons. At least a hybrid dps main hand weapon and another range weapon. Or even the legends changing one of the weapon skills per weapon similar to the thief and its middle skill changing depending on off hand.

As it stands, I kinda see myself getting a little bored with Rev and its lack of customization pretty soon.

condi ranged greatsword that shoots flames and tears rifts into hell to spam burn please

I think ArenaNet deliberately limited it’s weapon pool, so theres more room for Elite Specializations later on, so it doesn’t end up like Warrior, where it can use nearly all the weapons in the game, leaving very little room for Elite Specializations, meaning they’ll have to go to the trouble of making completely new weapons eventually.

I think it too. I highly doubt they had more weapon to revenant before the next expansion. I myself dont have any problem with the choice of weapons. I actually love the "elite spec’ system that are getting core weapons, every weapon is themed to a legend. I think the “bad” side of the revenant is that he lack personnalisation, it’s not a class for everyone.

We lack hybrid weapon which would have any DoTs and enable condition playstyle by allowing it to swap to useful 2nd weaponset.

Yeah, I really miss a hybrid weapon. Mace power coeficients are way too low.

Pyre Fierceshot legend with longbow when

I want a GS for Rev, I mean a heavy armor class without GS feels strange to me.

Namica.2951:

Pyre Fierceshot legend with longbow when

Yes please. I need my bae back in my life. Possibly the most whitty character in GW1, and quite the dashingly handsome Charr.

I think a condi ranged weapon is the main thing I feel missing.

I feel it needs at least one weapon that doesn’t feel like it’s designed to be exclusively used with one specific legend

I want a spear on land.

Halan.7931:

I’d like condition ranged weapon, either scepter or shortbow.

Ranged main hand axe gets my vote.

Yeap. Ranged needs more imo. Hammer in the face rocks tho

We don’t need more weapon, all we need simply is a button that switch between range hammer to melee hammer and melee staff to somekind of mist magic that function as a “staff”

Demented Yak.6105:

I want a spear on land.

This, too. I actually found an exotic today in Verdant Brink that turned my staff into a bladed one. Lightward battlestaff or so… although it seems extremely highpriced on TP. Anyway it made me happy for the quoted reason… at least it’s got the looks

Ranged throwing spear would be cool too. Not sure why these weapon types are dead-set for underwater…

Gosh that would be such a shame Anet having to add something entirely new to the game.

I vote for two-handed axe. Of course I also want the same for warriors but it’ll probably never happen. Which is odd considering after great swords and hammers it’s such an obvious thing.

I hope they will add KITTEN BIG two-handed axes some day. And give them to us >:)
