Hammer is Scrapper but I cannot picture Engi without hammer, mostly because of the giant wrench lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunjiKugashira.9754 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Warrior - Axe I've never actually played warrior, so I only know what you get when you steal from them as a thief. And that is an axe spin. Also I like the image of a dual-axe wielding berserker.

TheSwede.9512 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 **Warrior** - Greatsword + Axe/Shield Good ol'-fashioned fighter that brings more weapons than he really needs. I don't picture a knight in shining armor as much as I picture a barbarian or a pit fighter when I hear the term warrior. **Guardian** - Sword/Shield + Mace/Shield Now here I see the knight in shining armor, carrying with him a shield heralding whatever faith, house, warband or virtue he championizes. Swords are typically knightly, but Maces always strikes a cord with Cleric/Paladin-esque classes of healers in heavy armor. **Revenant** - Sword/Sword + Staff They're the typical "mystic knight" of the setting, so it feels natural that they'd use a Staff of some kind, which also fits their whole "mist wanderer" theme. Furthermore, they've got all the fancy schmancy main-character traits, so of course they're gonna use the more snow-flakey Dual Swords in battle, because of the rule of cool. **Ranger** - Sword/Torch + Longbow (Wolf Pet) Can't get anymore archetypically adventurous than the Ranger profession. A sword for close-quarter combat, a Torch for exploring ancient ruins or dark swamps and a Longbow like they all have in order to pick off enemies at a range. Of course, the most archetypical pet will forever remain man's best friend, but in fantasy land that is almost always an actual wolf or a wolfhound rather than a common dog. **Thief** - Dagger/Dagger + Pistol/Pistol What else can I say but "dual wield"? Thieves always did favor shorter blades, oftentimes one in each hand with several more strapped in places where knives shouldn't really be strapped. In settings with Pistols, you can bet that the Thief will be the one opportunistic enough to put them to good use. **Engineer** - Rifle + Grenade Kit The engineer feels heavy-duty, as opposed to names like "alchemist" or "inventor" which sounds more refined and quirky respectively. No, the Engineer sounds like a professional who gets stuff done, one way or the other and preferably with a liberal use of firepower sprinkled over the charred remains of their enemies. **Elementalist** - Staff Elementalist strikes me as the most typical caster of the 3 scholarly bunches. The typical wizard or sorcerer, if you will. So naturally, they get first pick on the Staff. **Necromancer** - Dagger/Focus + Staff Necromancers give off a definite cultist feel, with pacts made in blood and eerie baubles used to cast spells, such as shrunken heads or ghastly lanterns. So they need a ceremonial dagger and a focus for that. But beyond that, their whole Death thematic kinda calls for a proper scythe, so Staff adds that to the mix. **Mesmer** - Sword/Pistol + Scepter/Focus Mesmers fill the role of unconventional casters in Guild Wars. They're a bit more martial but also very refined, finding new ways to incorporate their magic. Duelists like them of course favor the sword and the pistol, but they can fall back on common caster paraphernalia such as scepters when they need to without batting an eyelash.

Warrior always use greatsword as their iconic weapon to me no matter movie, comic, games, figures, and i guess i am not alone here. Same as Ranger always use Longbow, Ele (Mage) always use staff, this is never a GW2 image anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kichwas.7152 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Warrior - Hammer Guardian - Hammer Revenant - Hammer Ranger - Ha... er... um... Axe. Mesmer - what's that pointy stick called? Oh yeah... sword. Necromancer - sickle. Um wait... maybe this is why I rarely play my Necro, something always feels missing. Thief - pistols Elementalist - dagger. But now sword. Engineer - pistols, or Hammer It's hammer time all up in this place. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpheal.8263 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Iconic Weapons that I connect to the image of the class, it have not to be actually weapons that the Class can use currently, or exist so far in the game. Id asign to each Class basically two iconic Weapons basicayl as primary and secondary weapon Warrior = Sword/ Greataxe Guardian = Polearm (Spear/Lance/Halberd ect)/ Shield Revenant = Shortbow/ Hammer Thief = Dagger/ Chakram Ranger = Longbow/ Whip Engineer = Mace/ Pistol Elementalist = Staff/ Scepter Mesmer = Axe / Focus Necromancer = Gloves (Claws/Gauntlets) / Greatsword Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
