Guild Wars 2

And get unarmed combat instead? Discuss.

Can the class just be deleted instead?

Anything to break up the long ongoing routine of skimming patches notes as I sigh and say under my breath, “Ok what got nerfed this time?”

kittenloads of disappointment. :P

If we get unarmed combat then I suppose we need unarmed weapons (spiked knuckles, etc) , so that people can get cool skins for it, because looking cool is important.
And besides, a unique weapon style for one class isn’t gonna happen. Oh and Legendary Fist, that I’d like to see.

This thread is extremely useless as it’s already been said that there are no new weapon types being introduced and that every class will get one new weapon.

I’ve not really been following outside of what new weapon each class will get, and muttering "bloody typical," every time a leak is for a class that isn’t the one I play! So when you say "one new weapon," is that, "only one new weapon," or "one new weapon, only?"

Like, would off-hand sword count as a new weapon. If not, has anything been said that would rule out the possibility of getting a "new" weapon, and the ability to equip a weapon we currently have in the opposite hand?

A “new weapon” would constitute what the class cannot use. I think it’s still in the air if that includes not being able to use the weapon in your off-hand or main-hand but I’m leaning towards no.

One of the things that made me think of unarmed combat was that the thief actually has skills that are only available when his offhand is empty. Also, if there was going to be a monk spec, at any point in the future, I can’t see anyone but thief getting it.
