Guild Wars 2

I’d love to see a Variant to GS and Hammer combo, but a Great Axe. What weapons or combination of weapons would you guys like to see?

1. Auto could do something similar to GS in a wider arc, causing vulnerability, cleave etc, 3rd attack in auto could do a small aoe shockwave
2. Perhaps a combination of what HB and Fierce blow offer, or perhaps just 1-2 fast giant slices that could do similar damage to what HB offers but is a 2 part skill.
3. I’d love to see something like what Engineer hammer 3 offers. That triple dash forward swinging your axe in a wider arc into a daze offering evade etc, a different approach to what Whirlwind offers but a great way to approach an enemy while simultaneously evading.
4. A shockwave that cripples or knocks down, or perhaps something like pommel bash with a daze similar to Rangers GS.
5. I’d love to see something like Rush but faster, like Charging Bull, when you charge into your foe knocking them down and then a huge downward cleaving motion.

The burst im not too sure of, maybe something like Earthshaker that is just a large frontal AOE tremor cone, similar t what HOT mobs have without a leap animation.

1. Battle axe
2 one handed hammer
3. Some kind of knuckle weapon.
4.polearm/make spear usable on land (with different skills obviously).

My roommate has said frequently that if 2-h axes were available, he’d switch his main to the Warrior in a heartbeat… and that includes a 2-h axe skin for the hammer.

3. Some kind of knuckle weapon.

Agreed. Cestus, brass-knuckles (orichalcum-knuckles), handwraps, punching dagger, etc… doesn’t matter. If I can punch a dragon to death in Skyrim, I want to the same in GW2! Unarmed fighters are always my favorite to play.

One handed hammer = mace. They just need to make more diverse models for it.

I’d love to see your other 3 suggestions. Knuckle would make for at least a great off hand, to simulate single-wielding a one handed weapon. Thieves should get this too.

+1 for punching things.

I’d also accept dual-knife with punching animations.

Love the polearm idea, I played an armsman in DAoC for years. They could do some cool animations with it.

Polearm and Spear yes. All my yes!

Land Spear ANet pls

I’d like a spear/halberd on land, a Great-axe, and fists. All sound interesting, the spear/halberd and fists in particular.

My vote would have to go to fisticuffs, nothing would be more satisfying than punching a Rev or Scrapper out, except maybe going fists vs zerg. Just imagine it, body slamming one player at a time, screaming “JOHN CENA!!!” At your monitor. That’d make a good burst skill.

Bodyslam: “Lift your opponent into the air before slamming them onto their back, forcing your weight onto them and stunning them.”
Just imagine an Asura bodyslamming a Charr

A one handed rifle for PvE would be nice.
Currently only 3 skills are needed/used 99% of the time, on a rifle in PvE.
Shouldn’t be too difficult to make.

You mean like a pistol lol

Polearm, Greataxe, Fist weapons/nunchucks (not only for warr)

Poleaxe

Spear

Off-hand pistol with a spammable, fast firing medium-long “auto-attack”-like 4 skill so we can feel like Assault Space Marines and an off-hand bolter gun. I don’t know what to make of a 5 skill.

I mean a one handed rifle. That’s all rifle is in PvE now.
3 skills should be one handed.

You do know normal conventions are not usable here. I can throw an axe farther than I can shoot a shortbow.

just give me dual greatswords.. all I need 1 sunrise 1 twilight <3
the skills for the offhand gs would obviously have to change the 4 and 5 skills
i’d like to see them make the 5 like a ranged leap with a ground targeting so it maintains some mobility but you can change the amount depending on needs up to id say 900-1200 range. the 4 id like a brutal finisher type skill but put it on a decent cd not spamable low but still useable. we would keep the usual hundred blades and whirlwind.
I’m probably just dreaming but its fun to think about =p

i want to see warrior using Spear in land!!

They would just make it a pistol im guessing…id like to a pistol with skills comparable to rifle on war tho…would make a fun combo with shield

Greataxe (cleave focus)
Spear (mobile weapon)
Glaive (360 AoE all day)
Lance (Medium range two-handed weapon)
Crossbow (long range burst)
Flail (medium range one-handed weapon)
Main-hand Shield (defensive “weapon”)

Given that the spear is currently an underwater weapon, I can’t see them programming it to also be a terrestrial weapon… just ’cause of some confusion it might cause with newbies.

If you get confused trying to figure out the difference between a water and land weapon, you need to be playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Plus they could always rename it lance, halberd, polearm etc

I completely agree.. but I’m trying to look at it from their standpoint, and what they’d have to deal with from the player base:

“I can use spears on land and underwater, so why can’t I do the same with my greatsword?” Or, “Why do I need to have a different ‘type’ of spear for underwater than on land, they’re spears right?” Or, “I just made the wrong kind of ascended spear and wasted a ton of resources.”

…and on, and on, and on.

“Polearms” would definitely be a solution.. if implemented right.
