I remember the time when I got… Oh… SO disappointed when I got into GW2 and found out that my ranger cannot play dual dagger setup.

Me too. I remember picking up a dagger while leveling, and the disappointment was huge when I realized I could only wield it as an off-hand. I like sword and axe, but I do agree that it would be awesome with a third choice when we have such good off-hand weapons.

I actually do think we’re getting a mainhand dagger with a future specialization. Either that or an off-hand sword. IMO, it only makes sense to expand the ranger archtype by adding a second dagger.. not only thematically, but we’re seriously lacking a steady main hand weapon to fight on point with. It’s a perfect match, more so than most other weapons – unless they wanna reintroduce the hammer and bunny thumper

I also think that a dual-dagger ranger is super fitting to the archetype. It made me so frustrated to see that I could equip the dagger off-hand but not main, it was the first class I used on GW2 and this limitation made no sense for me, I can understand why you don’t actively hit things with a horn or a torch, but I can’t understand why you can wield a sword but not stab things with a dagger.

I must say the 1HSword is tempting because it has a higher damage than the axe and few times I managed to make good use of the jumping and evading (most of the time I jumped back I hit something while returning and didn’t hit the second attack or just jumped back down a cliff and well… it was stupid), but I feel SO limited to have only these two weapons as single main, ugh.

This might be old but kitten I do miss another weapon as main hand, Axe is just ‘meh’ (I like the first attack even though it doesn’t deal that much damage, but the others aren’t really remarkable) and 1HSword is just a big no-no most of the time because I find myself spending more time jumping around than hitting things with it.

I’d use only greatsword and longbow if I didn’t miss the horn skills so much(buffs and area heal are my current love ). So I feel like we could REALLY use having Dagger as a main hand weapon as well, just a melee/single target weapon with a decent damage (maybe one condition attack or a combo finisher) and no jumping around would make me so happy… Though with an advanced class (and yet another two handed weapon) in the way I feel like I’m just hitting a wall with a feather here…

I’m having this problem trying to get to Sparkfly Fen too.

Oh! I love the name Skadi, it’s really Norn-ish. The Thundersteel sounds like a surname a Norn would have, considering the surname of the NPCs in the game, it’s a nice choice.

My Hunter is Agnes Löfgren, I just like the name Agnes and looked around for a surname to go with it, nothing too fancy…

Still bugged, couldn’t even fight with her, she just replied like a common NPC.
