Guild Wars 2

My characters cannot equip their elite specialization weapons. I ‘trained’ for the proficiency and I an presented with the weapon but I cannot equip it. The weapon still reads “Weapon type unusable by your profession.” Again these are the weapons I am gifted for training for the first elite specialization proficiency. Is anyone else having this issue?

One more thing, the Weapon Skills for the elite specialization weapon are grey’d out.

You have to equip the specialization in the third slot of your specialization menu in the hero panel to be able to equip the weapon!

That’s it, thank you. Dante you are great.

ANet… No but seriously, you do have to keep it equipped, really? So As I develop my toon I also have to cripple it by loosing a full specialization just to equip the new weapon?

I am also having this problem!

Have a look at Dante’s post above for the answer.

And yes, only the third specialization slot works. I thought the game was bugged when I tried to equip the elite spec in the first slot.

The weapon use is part of the specialization trait line, not an unlock for training it.
