I can see why people would want a warrior e-spec with a special mechanism that's support oriented but right now one must admit that support is already the main job of the warrior in every gamemode so maybe a support e-spec might lead to a bit to much support. > > > @"MatyrGustav.6210" said: > > For aoe Healing.

Well you only can equip so many skills. I guess there would just be more options for support build warriors. Also, if its support, it could be a hybrid, meaning not all new abilities are support. For instance if its Monk, that class is already Hybrid. If its not support, i can see a Corsair type class with pistol.

Only a really well designed shroud (a classic F1 transform with great melee skills and not the buttonmashing fail scourge is) could save such a spec. > > I would vote for a hammer, but think this would be too close to what reaper already does (the scythe is even coded as a hammer). I see. Yes i feel like we would need Sword as a added base weapon if Shield is the elite spec. Hammer would be awesome, it is close to Reaper so I would see Anet adding it as a magical focus similar to Revenant and how Mesmer uses the Great Sword. Imagine slamming the hammer into the ground to Summon some Skeletons?

If thats the case it might even be the longbow. We will get 5 new weapon skills.

Oh wow> @"Dadnir.5038" said: > For me the issue with shield is that from my point of view it's a tool to "block" attack and the necromancer's defensive design is to take most if not all damage. It's not that thematically the tombstone wouldn't be great but I feel like the necromancer's shield skills design would be bound to be a source of frustration for the players. > I mean i would be cool to have a variant to playstyle with the shield kind of like Daredevil to Thief. Also the Bone Bow idea sounds amazing ? i would love that as well. But would love if the Necromancer used its life force to summon a Bone Tyrant to fight with pet attack skills instead of shroud.

@"Lily.1935" Yes please. A Vampire Sword spec would be amazing. If its a Shield it see it more as like Diablo 2 Necromancer with Bone armor. It could be a Bone armor Tank.

My vote goes toward The Mace. They should get a Single hand Hammer Skin and would love to see them with a mech like power suit that replaces their tool belt kind of like the necromancer.

I mean a staff would be cool, but not as a spear. I agree that if a spear is added, it should be a spear. I would see it as a BO Staff similar to how the Thief and Revenant use it. I see Mantras being a thing for Warrior for support/Healing thus calling the specialization MONK. I could also see a Pistol/sword wielding pirate like specialization.

Necro is the only class that cannot use Sword with any spec right now, so it would make sense to me. > > My second guess is Shortbow, but that one might be a little off the mark. Since they're likely to be Canthan themed Shortbow makes the most sense to me, but I also don't know much about Canthan lore or the story of GW1. > > Shield would be cool, I'd be okay with that. Hammer would also be nice. > > I do _not_ want; Rifle, Pistol, or Longbow however. yeah i feel like necro really needs Sword now that i think of it.
