I really like how e-specs each have a weapon. I just wish they had an additional weapon, therefore more weapon options would be possible and if future elites came out they could have different weapon skills. With this next expansion coming out, who knows how long it'll be before we see a profession with the weapons we'd like them to have.

GW1 may have been a balancing nightmare for anet, but to players....that is what I think made the largest impact on why the game was so memorable. Theory crafting and build diversity was the heart of a game like that. Virtually a collectable card game in rpg form.
Sorry, I meant to say, "having more than one elite specializations per expansion". Like possibly two elites with each expansion. It would have been nice if they created elites that fit the theme of the expansion.

> I would be OK if they made it so all the classes could use all weapons, but a lot of these suggestions just seem silly. No one should be using mainhand shield or off-hand scepter because those are silly suggestions to begin with (mainhand focus kind of makes sense at least, because at least I can picture people casting spells with mainhand focus and it working and not looking completely stupid.) My suggestions would be more like short bow for warrior, swords for necromancers, offhand swords for thieves, just things that are similar to what the professions already have, but just letting every profession use every weapon seems fine too. I agree with @Vavume.8065, I don't want hammers on rangers or necromancers unless just everyone can use hammers, because there are so many weapons, both already existing and not, that would make more sense than that, or than dual shields on any class at all.

So these links is to show that there's nothing wrong with using an off-hand Scepter or dualing Scepters, and there's nothing wrong with using a main hand Shield or even dual weilding shields.
I'm glad people are voting, but I'm surprised people would rather have just one elite weapon instead of two, but would then advocate for weapons not even in the game or aquatic. I figured, there's more likely to make a main hand Shield than create an entire new weapon.

I had proposed, with the new expansion coming, we could change the number of weapons elites could use. I know the Devs stated that this next expansion will not be the last, but a lot of players feel they waited long enough playing their profession without their weapon of choice. It maybe a long time coming before you see your profession without your weapon of choice, going the route ANet is currently taking. Players also suggested seeing current elite weapons having different skills available with future expansions
So should we continue this path of 1 new weapon with a new expansion or should we take a different approach. I have my idea of what I would like to see, but I think putting it up to a vote, maybe ANet would consider something different if most people can agree on a change.
I can see each class getting to use 6 new weapons if they had 6 new elites, but they might not create 6 expansion. Not knowing how many Elite Specs will be coming, would it be a good idea to give each elite two new weapons instead of one. They have the new Expansion coming next year and they could drastically change the direction of how the next expansions, if any, will go.
If they did give each profession two weapons per expansion I think these would be a good idea:
HOT
Dragon Hunter: Long Bow & off hand Sword
Berserker: Torch & main hand Shield
Herald: Shield & offhand Focus
Druid: Staff & offhand Focus
Scrapper: Hammer & main hand Mace
Daredevil: Staff & Dual Mace
Chronomancer: Shield & Dual Daggers

Reaper: Great Sword & offhand Shield
POF

Spellbreaker: Dual Daggers & offhand Focus
Renegade: Short Bow & Great Sword
Soulbeast: Main hand Dagger & Rifle
Holosmith: Main hand Sword & Staff
Deadeye: Rifle & offhand Focus
Mirage: Main hand Axe & Main hand Pistol
Weaver: Main hand Sword & main hand Focus
Scourge: Torch & Offhand Axe
EOD

That's funny you say this, cause ANet never said they weren't making offhand weapons able to be dual weld. You should be more upset at people predicting underwater weapons used above land.
Plus, you don't think it's weird that we have only one main hand weapon. I think there's something fishy going on and no one's talking about it, but we should be...

I really hope for EOD to:
1) Have a complete Living World Season 1 added to the game.
2) Redo Core Revenant Profession. Ideally have it where you have a Neutral Stance that you toggle off/on with F1, and switch Legends with F2. When you are in a Neutral Stance, you'll have Legend Inspired Skills to make up for the lack of skills that Revenants have. Maybe the Healing Skill can be a Ventari Inspired, the other Utility Skills fulfill the other Legend Inspired Abilities, and the Elite Skill be Ancient Echo. This will allow there to be an equal number of skills compared to other professions and allow for players to finally be able to select racial skills if they want, while in the Neutral Stance. You can also replace the elite skill with elite legendary inspired skills, once the Elite Specialization is slotted.
3) Make Revenant's Legendary Skills drain energy, not Weapon skills or Neutral Stance Skills from above.
4) Make all Elite Specialization have access to two new weapons instead of one. This would allow people to play the game with most of the weapons in the game. If they were to come out with newer expansions, they could still use an elite specialization weapon, but in a different way than another elite. I would have it-
HOT: Dragon Hunter: Long Bow & off hand Sword; Berserker: Torch & main hand Shield; Herald: Shield & offhand Focus; Druid: Staff & offhand Focus; Scrapper: Hammer & main hand Mace; Daredevil: Staff & Dual Mace; Chronomancer: Shield & Dual Daggers; Tempest: Warhorn & offhand Scepter; & Reaper: Great Sword & offhand Shield.
POF: Firebrand: Main hand Axe & main hand Focus; Spellbreaker: Dual Daggers & offhand Focus; Renegade: Short Bow & Great Sword; Soulbeast: Main hand Dagger & Rifle; Holosmith: Main hand Sword & Staff; Deadeye: Rifle & offhand Focus; Mirage: Main hand Axe & Main hand Pistol; Weaver: Main hand Sword & main hand Focus; & Scourge: Torch & Offhand Axe.
EOD: Guardian: Offhand Mace & offhand Scepter; Warrior: Staff & Dual Pistols; Revenant: Dual Pistols & main hand Scepter; Ranger: Hammer & offhand Shield; Engineer: Great Sword & offhand Focus; Thief: Torch & Great Sword; Mesmer: Short Bow & Warhorn; Elementalist: Long Bow & offhand Shield; & Necromancer: Rifle & Hammer.
5) Player Housing.
6) Add more Ranger Pets like Primates, Wisps, and other Fairyfolks.
7) Add Tengu as a race to the game. This will balance out the 5 races, making 6 playable races.
8) Add more mount abilities for combat.
9) Allow more mounts to be used in WvW and create anti-mount turrets or weapons in WvW.
& 10) Create more Guild Content.

I agree that they need to make elite spec. inline with core, but that doesn't mean that they should only make elites that stay in "their lane". In fact, this is the first time I even heard of each profession having a "lane" Especially with how they original devs boast about having no holy trinity and being able to make your character profession do what you like. I think the professions are in theme only. Will some core professions be better at somethings than others? Yes, but I thought the purpose of elites professions what to help the profession come up to par in areas that they initially suffered in, not create more divisions "in their lanes".
I'm not saying that Warriors should start using magic, although Spellbreaker is very close to resembling a spell casting warrior. I not advocating that Elementalist should start raising the dead. I think it great for all classes to fill roles that other professions fill. I like see a Warrior do Elementalist things in a Warrior type way. I think that should be the same with all upcoming elites.

I disagree. I think everyone still has their niche, but with elites, professions can take on another role. Like in GW1, every class had a secondary profession. If in GW1 you wanted to have a Warrior with a secondary class being a Mesmer, you can simply have SpellBreaker in GW2. Did you complained about Warrior/Mesmers in GW1?

My question to you is, "What, in you opinion, is every profession supposed to do?" I see each profession fitting a particular class theme, not fullfilly a particular battle role. Hence, why I like the Specializations and traits so much, because you can, without Elite Specializations, create 5 or more different types of the same profession and feel like each one can have their own purpose in a battle. I think the elites do a great job adding to professions theme and at least reinforcing a Core Specializations. I thought at some point, every profession would have their own way of doing everything.

No, cause kit are a utility and Attunement are F abilities

Although Tengu was not announced for the expansion and racial abilities aren't that important, what abilities you think they would have if they were in the game? What biography options you think they would have in character creation?

Tomes are like Attunements

I love the Character Creation, the Professions, the Specializations... I really wish they incorporated my ideas and make them even better than I had in mind. ?
-
EOD should
- Add Tengu and Largos races
- Add New Elite Specializations
- Add an additional weapon for each elite specializations
- Add personal homes
- Add new Ranger Pets

How about a Horse skin for the Roller Beetle. I'm sure they can do it.

So you think the new expansion is going to finally balance the game?

Although this game enjoys the use of group play, I think they will incorporate the heroes they had in GW1 where players can recruit NPC characters to adventure with or maybe they will make it possible where you can use your alts to do pvp stuff

> i doubt they'd do this -- atleast not until GW2 is nearing it's end of life or the last planned expansion gets released. End of Dragons / Expansion 3 is no where stated to be the last/final expansion, in fact the devs even mentioned they're moving on from the dragon-conflict after this upcoming expansion, hence the title. so our story doesn't end there. not yet atleast. so having NPCs replace players wont be a thing anytime soon not until the game sees a very very steep decline in player numbers brought about by either a newer game/mmorpg by ArenaNet or some other game from another studio that would replace GW2 for many of it's current players.
Well, that makes sense. The only other thing I can think of is introducing new playable races.
[Suggestion] 1 More New mount

I like the idea of having a really slow mount above land, but underwater it's really fast. And have it climb walls. It could be a tree fish or something like that. And have it where you can stand on it's back when you ride it.
