TWO HANDED AXES ! TWO HA.....
I double that. AND pole-arms.
I’ve been saying this for a while, and its REALLY awkward for a game that haves the option for you to use Torches and Warhorns as weapons for the most basic and common weapons across history and on MMO’s to not be a thing. (Pole-Arms and Axes)
I really think this is the only or one of the few MMO’s where Great-axes and pole-arms arent a thing :P I cant think of many at all.
A 2 Handed axe should be great to cut down a wooden dragon.
My norn dreams of the day when he can swing around a huge 2 handed axe
Polearm might come. I already posted that in revenant thread but.. [&AgGPcgAA] it was datamined 2 years ago when they started working on expansion. Now its olny a speculation (?) but you never know if it make it way with expansion or not.
In the HoT trailer, it looks like at some point Rytlock is using a polearm-type weapon. It’s two-handed and doesn’t look like a sword at all. In fact, it looks more like a staff.. maybe it’s supposed to be hammer; I’m not sure.

It also shows a medium armor character wielding some sort of fire hammer (I assume it’s an engineer judging from the little flying gadgets he has around him)

Yeah, I’m not really sure what to make of that weapon. Pretty hard to tell what it is.
I ust checked it on the trailer and it looks like a spear even took a screenshot.
It looks like either a spear or a staff tbh i think its just a cinematic weapon.
Polearm?
From some guy at PAX on Reddit:
“We talked polearms. No polearms in this expansion. Colin said ‘We warned the art team what the community would think when they saw the trailer, but they chose to make things the way they did.’ It looks like a polearm but it is not. No word if they ever will be.”
Dreams = ded.
i actually dont believe that we will get new types of weapons such as polearms, great axes, on land spears ect…..
i think classes will just get a “new” weapon that they couldn’t use before.
like a engineer using a hammer, thieves using rifle,mesmers using shields, rangers using staffs… none of them are new weapons in the game but instead new weapons for the classes.
not that i have anything against for adding new types of weapons…tho it would seem unfair for warriors getting a shiny new cool weapon and others get to play with old ones
The weapon Rytlock use look more like a staff to me.
