Guild Wars 2

us warriors get in the future?

I know there’s been talk of 2h Axe. But i’m thinking more spear!

If anyones played Pirates knights and Vikings there was nothing more satisyfing than throwing a spear right into someones face from a mile away.

Or 2h morning star. Oh yeah….

I would love to see my Warrior wielding a pole-arm on land in the future. A two-handed axe sounds awesome as well.

+1 on both.

Spear 1 : Jab >jab2 (has a bleed) >jab 3 is a 360 spin +bleed.

Spear 2: Spear Toss : Throws your spear 600 range, 2 second knockdown.

Spear 3: Spear vault : vaults you forwards and you do a small aoe 2 second cripple on landing+damage. (aoe targetted).

Spear 4: Spear parry : You do a parry manouver reflecting frontal attacks for 2 seconds.

Spear 5: Spear charge: Charge move, anyone caught on the front end of your spear during the move is immobilised for 2 seconds.

Hows that?

Spear/polearm definitely. I can see two hand axe but honestly a good spear/polearm warrior is something that would be a bit different since they aren’t ‘overly’ common in games. Plus the fact we’re using as such underwater but somehow get hit with a dumbstick when on land is a bit silly, heh

Spear F1:
“Break your spear in half and use them like nunchucks, giving you new attacks and abilities that forces your character to scream ‘SHREDDERRRR!’ on use.”

Weapons I could see Warrior using are:

2 Handed Axe, which has been mentioned, would work similar to a Greatsword

I wouldn’t mind having a Pistol/Dagger off-hand.

Scythe would be a cool weapon

I want to see them wearing a falcata. A halberd would be rather nice as well.

Daggers, rapiers and kukris maybe. Great axes is a most.

Pistol off hand. Rytlock uses one. We should too.

Or a torch so i can go all Aragorn without having a pet sniffing my kitten at all times.

Great axe and spear also cool, maybe hand to hand, with throws and heavy strikes. And hadouken/shoryuken for a laugh.

we need a flail.

I tend to think of Diablo 2 barbarians when I think warrior weapons: 2h Axe, 2h Hammer, 2h Sword, Sword, Axe, Mace, Flail, 1h Spear, 2h Spear, Polearm, Throwing Axe, Shield.

2h Axe/Flail would be my biggest requests, flail/spear I would expect to have a greater attack range. I’d also love some of those HUGE one handed axes that you get, the ones where the hand grip is part way up the blade but it’s weighted so that it’s still a one hand weapon and not simply a polearm.

Games like D2/Elder Scrolls had some awesome RPG ideas but many of them to not fit to a conventional MMO, such as everyone being able to use all equipment as long as you had the stats to wield them (str/dex), but that also usually required a stat-point system as well. It enabled things such as plate wearing casters, but they had to throw so many stats into strength that they barely had any mana or casting speed etc. Such things would never work here so I won’t even suggest them though :P Just reminisce.

I would love to see the concertina Fan, as I believe it will add a new dynamic to the blade dancer

KNUCKLES!!! A good pair of cestus to pummel on my enemies would bring me more glee than any other weapon. Troll? Punch it in the face. Elder Dragon? Punch it in the face!

Spear is a second though =]

Agreed!! Knuckles and Spears would make me really happy. <3

A halberd is definitely a must, but I would rather reserve this and other weapons for another soldier class, lets rather talk about that.

All great ideas!

I had forgotten about knuckles! Oh wow, nothing would make me happier than being able to punch enemies down. (Getting a kill on the heavy in TF2 with boxing gloves…great fun).

I don’t think another soldier class is that viable, I mean what niche would he fill. Guardian has pretty much every base covered to be honest. Warriors cover the rest (kind of).

I’ve come to regard the warrior as a hit and run class, get in, do damage, get out (apache like).

I was thinking in the line of warrior caster, but only with negative boons on the enemy. A sort of a negative guardian, so not healing and support but poison, fear, negative boons on enemy from the banners, which would work as trophy racks. With only a few weapon choice: halberd, great axe, flail, mace, spiked chains. Definitely no swords and daggers, probably no shields either.

That sounds more like a Necro in heavy armor except for the weapons.

If Rampage (elite) was actually useful you wouldn’t need fist weapons.

In terms of what could actually happen, pistols is probably it. Otherwise ANet would need to design an entire new line of weapon models/skins, while pistols are already in the game.

“……That sounds more like a Necro in heavy armor except for the weapons..”

Not quite, he would be melee fighter, except utility skills would be mix of casting and banners, shouts. Think of a warrior with poisoned weapons and banners and shouts that hurt enemy.

2h axe definitely. I was rather surprised to see that there wasn’t one.

1 handed: flail, staff
off hand; flail, staff

two-handed; polearm, double edged sword

As armor works the way it does, I would like to see
something along th eline of a Shaolin monk, that use
the double-type weapons known from NWN1, maybe
except the hammer/mace, just use the staff.

For the warrior itself, I only want some proper skills
for the weapons we already have (and shield), except
the rifle skills, they are only ones that actually are spot on.

2h axe…/thread…

No srsly, I need this so badly. I can understand that they had problems designing unique skills for the axe because its a hybrid of sword and mace, but they NEED to implent this with an upcoming addon.

I would also like some kind of Polearm.

Pistols, allowed as main and off-hand

I would like to see warriors have a 1-handed ranged option. This would allow all sorts of main/off combos, including mixing melee and ranged.

Without adding new weapons to the game itself, the only non-caster styled weapons that warriors don’t get are: daggers, shortbow, and torch. I think pistol has the most potential.

2 handed axe please! That is all.

I’d like to have spear as a 1handed weapon.

Way too many options. I’d like to see offhand pistol, polearms, javelins, dagger mainhand (for awesome brawling skills), two-handed axes (a.k.a polearms). I’d really like a one-handed range option, as other professions have them – I was really surprised actually that Warrior doesn’t have one, especially considering that the Warrior from Destiny’s Edge (Rytlock Brimstome) uses a pistol quite a bit.

Though there’ll be lots more patching before anybody gets any new toys.

I want a polearm for sure.. give it like range 250, raw damage plus defence (with a low cooldown counterattack). Just the kind of weapon that will make anyone regret coming within melee range of a warrior, the kind of weapon you use to guard a point, not one you use to chase someone down with.

1. three chain auto attack with high dps, no bleeds.
2. a series of very rapid jabs, mostly damage with some bleeds.
3. a block with blunt counterattack, counterattack knocks back and knocks down.
4. a high arcing 900 range leap (targeted) that slams down for massive aoe damage.
5. Throw the polearm at 600 range to impale your target, large damage, bleed and immobilize.
6. BURST: a defensive stance that lasts 5 seconds, gives protection during that duration, and everytime you are attacked, you give an instant and significantly hurtful counterjab, and it blocks projectiles. Basically your opponent needs to not attack you at close range during these 8 seconds if he wants to live, while ranged attacks (not just projectiles) are blocked. Is canceled when you move or when you use a skill.

You like?

(The weapon would be a halberd, which is a twohanded spear with a single bladed axe at the end.)

Honestly the 2h axe is what I want most right now, just because I feel like it’s missing from the current set:

dagger; sword; greatsword
mace; hammer
pistol; rifle
shortbow; longbow (both 2h, but functionally comparable)
sceptre; staff
axe; …axes?

I would love to see 2-hand axes (of course), spear (silly that we get them underwater but not on land…. -_-;), knuckles/ cestus (nothing would make me happier than being able to punch a champion mob in the face and no our kitteny elite doesn’t count) and definitely being able to use daggers and pistols at least off-hand.

Having said that I doubt I’ll ever see all that :C

Morning star counts as a mace son.

….Aren’t spears underwater weapons? Also- 2h Axe definantly…. our axe skills are nice I’d love to see a Beserker 2H Axe!

I really enjoyed the scythe on my warrior in GW1, so that would be fun to see come back.

Also agree 2H axe, offhand pistol, and knuckles would be great. Daggers would be fun too but perhaps best not be too greedy

Like the ideas for a third soldier profession in future. I remember having a nice warrior/necro build in GW1 with melee plus casting damage for range. Something along those lines, like the ‘inverse-guardian’ as someone mentioned earlier would be interesting for a future expansion perhaps.

(Main) 1 handed GS & (Offhand) 1 handed GS woo hoo!

But seriously 2 handed Axe will be Awesome!
Bah i bet they gonna release The Dervish Class in future so i wont mention Scythe for now lol!

I would like to see a bayonet. We dont have as many bayonets in games like we used to in this country.

Warriors need a ‘long’ range close combat weapon, I know your thinking long rang close combat? I mean something like a spear, polarm hell even a halbard would do something that would give warriors extra reach with their attacks.

Hey, given how schizo the technology is in this game it wouldn’t be impossible. But I’d rather a warrior’s weapon than a soldier’s tool.

Personally I’d love to see a scythe. However, if we get access to that it probably will not be till the expansion that gives access to Elona and the Dervish. Possibly the same thing for the throwing spear, since that was the Paragon’s main weapon. Given the more European bent of the Krytan/Ascalonian warrior, I’d lean towards 2H Axe, Morningstar, or Flail. Morningstar I think is out, it’s just a re-skinned 2H Hammer for the most part. I’m kind of in favor of the Flail, a nice chain weapon and something completely different while not straying from the standard European/Fantasy genre. As for a polearm…well can never go wrong with a big stick with a big blade/spike/or hammer at the end. Personally I’m a fan of the glaive. However, I do like guisarmes and halberds too. Guess a bardiche, bec de corbin, lucern hammer, or spetum would be cool too.

Morning stars are essentially maces…

It was a sarcastic comment regarding the US presidential debates.

That went right over my head… probably something to do with not being from the US.

Here.

Hope you enjoy.

Back to topic!
Maybe throwing stars for theifs!

Scythes is not gonna happen, a scythe is a farming tool, not a weapon of war. At most you can have staves that look like scythes, for the caster professions, which I think already exists.

Morningstar would be pointless, as it’s basically the same as a mace, and a lot of maces already have morningstar skins.

I could see flails (a stick with a chain and a spiked ball), but that’s too similar to maces again.

The most likely weapons I can see coming, is either a two handed axe, or a halberd. Spears already exist as underwater weapons, so they’re not going to come for dry combat.

I can’t really think of any other options apart from twohanded axes and halberds. I don’t know about any other type of weapon that exists in real history and isn’t already covered.

Battleaxes (two-handed axe), Katanas, or Scythes/Polearms.

Zsymon.8457:

Here’s the thing, Guild Wars had a scythe-wielding profession. Here’s another thing, Guild Wars 2 is in no way reflective of realism or medieval warfare – nor should it be, it’s a fantasy MMORPG.

Scythes would be a cool return if the Dervish came with them, otherwise it should be a Necro weapon more than anything.

Abhor.5602:

Katanas.

Oh please no. If “katanas” are going to be in, they’ll just be regular sword skins – like in the first Guild Wars.

Zsymon.8457:

The most likely weapons I can see coming, is either a two handed axe, or a halberd.

If they add them (and that’s an if), it would probably be easiest just to keep them as the same category as two handed axes are essentially polearms anyway.

But we’re not seeing anything for ages.
