Guild Wars 2

I heard that soon each class will be getting a new weapon set that was previously unable to be used. I wonder if warriors will be getting a new melee weapon or a new ranged weapon? Personally I think warriors should get two new sets of weapons, one set for melee and one set for range.

At first seems like daggers are the only melee option left that a warrior has yet to be able to use. I would be cool with having daggers, but I think we can be even more open-minded and start thinking about land use of spears. Don’t forget stakitten either.

It also would be extremely welcomed to add in some new melee weapons such as two-handed axes, but there are many threads on those already suggested by fellow warrior players hungry for a new set of melee weapons.

But I think an even more clever solution than simply getting players new weapon sets, P2 increase the abilities for current weapon sets. For the weapon skills slots one through five, we should be able to customize individual slots the same way we can customize slots six through 10. The developers can design some new abilities for current weapon sets that we can mix and match into our one through five weapon abilities. Otherwise, the game is getting nauseating boring because I’m always using the same old abilities from the all-too-familiar weapon sets.

I know part of the design of the game is to have a simplistic UI and to have mass appeal by keeping the combat simple enough for casual players. If the developers are indeed afraid that having a large multitude of weapon abilities for each working for us to choose from and mix-and-match would end up confusing players, I really want to plead with them to start thinking in a different direction by making the stains combat have more depth and innovation and customizability.

warrior has the most diverse and the largest amount of weapons available in comparison to every other class in the game. it explains warrior as the weapon master on the class description on the wiki.. two handed axes will not happen as axe is a burst related weapon and greatsword already takes the cake for 2 handed burst, plus 2h axe was never a weapon in guild wars 1.

we have the most weapon sets/combinations available to our class than any other, if you think it needs more you either need to re roll to one of the other classes that has less aka all of them or deal with it

I would love to get a spear (not the underwater one) or halberd, some sort of pike weapon. A 2 handed axe would be epic for the whole barbarian role play.

Well jeez, that was all rather dismissive. I don’t think Warriors have to many weapons: its pretty much their class specialization. It’s why their utilities are so basic compared to many other classes, they are defined by weapons.

Nor would GS have to stick with being a high burst weapon similar to the 1 handed axe. Take a look at sword compared to GS and that enough should show you that a weapon type doesn’t have to be the same as it’s predacessor. A 2 handed axe could be all sorts of things: heavy mobility (or low), high sustained, condition heavy, semi range and so forth.

That said, Warrior would do well enough with a new range option: say a pistol, which Rhytlock already uses as is.

or 1 of those sharp metal Frisbee things that Xena used to wield.

Well, instead of thinking about getting new weapon sets., I think they could just add additional abilities to current weapon sets. For example instead of the fifth accessibility being whirlwind, we can get a new ability or more such as “skull splitter” but devastating brutal attack that this high damage and adds a second of confusion or “behead” the brutal attack that attempts to slice and decapitate

Im pretty sure that they will be adding new weapon skills to weapons in future that we will be able to swap like we swaping wep sets right now. Howered selecting “i take it, that and that” won’t happen. Ppl would pick the stronger skills ignoring rest, basically turning this game into thief 333333333 v.2

Vote pistol for gankplank and greataxe for awesomeness.

If either thief / ranger get rifle then im gonna retire my warrior.

If warrior able to use double pistol then consider my 1st sentence nonexistent.

warhorn warhorn and shield shield. maybe a great axe or a long pike

Dual staff

they should add to the pool of existing skills for weapons, eg: add a couple of sword skills that can be slotted by any class able to use a sword (warr, ranger, guard, mesmer). And so on and so forth.

maybe. MAYBE replace rifle with a crossbow.
I can see warrior eventually wielding flails.
and maybe having 2 types of shields: combat shields (which would be smaller, more offensive) and tower shields (bigger, more defensive of course)
Id like to see spear being able to be used on land.

Crossbow! (I want it more for Engi and Guard).

Burst- Poison Bolt Volley- Fire 10 bolts that pierce at your foe and apply .5 seconds of poison per hit.

Why are we restricted to weapons that were in GW1? Great swords weren’t in GW1, nor were torches, rifles, war horns, and pistols.

If we can’t get a two handed axe I personally would love if they gave us spear for use on land with the exact same skill set it has for water only tweaked for use on land obviously. That would be an amazing weapon with good mix of control, burst, and sustained damage. Kind of good at a lot of things but not the best.

Also I would prefer pistols on warrior over dagger. I think that would be fun.
