Za Shaloc.3908 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Honestly I am so happy that Ranger got Staff and Dagger as they are two of my favorite weapon types, so the rest don't matter to me as much. Personally, I would love a scepter. I love the nature magic aspect of Ranger and although Druid focused a lot on that, I think it would be cool if they made it more of an offensive skirmshing caster-like weapon in order to distinguish it from Druid. Aside from that, I think shield or offhand sword would be my next choices. Anything but pistol and rifle really; I don't want those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurantien.4632 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Shield. For PvP we need a more truly defensive off hand weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Za Shaloc.3908 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I would be very happy with shield. Do you have any ideas on what the elite spec's concept would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eurantien.4632 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Unfortunately I think shield would be one of the best pairs with dagger. I have no idea what the specs could be. Besides shield I think the next most likely is mace or hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ackzar.9156 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I would like a new MH weapon, seeing as we got good OH options, but I usually feel like the MH weapons are a bitt off-putting. It would be really cool imo to have a power focused MH scepter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuka Cola.8520 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I don't care what it is. All i want it to be is a condi weapon, have Sword 2 kind of leaps for mobility/kiting and a 1sec+ evade. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffball.8307 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I've started viewing weapons the way I viewed the main screen in GW1. It really doesn't matter what the screen shows you, look at the mini map. It really doesn't matter what the weapon is, look at the weapon skills. I.e. rev hammer, mesmer greatsword, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dojo.1867 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 **Huntsman** _Has 3 active pets of the same type (33 % reduced stats each, commands like f2 apply to all pets)._ Rifle: 1: Wounding Shot - Adds a 'wounded' debuff (10s) that gets consumed by succeful pet hits making them deal 50% more damage. 2: Interruppting Shot - Dazes the target for 1 second and adds 5 stacks of 'wounded'. 3: Reposition - Stealth for 2 seconds charging forward in a straight line. 4: Blow out - Knocks down the target for 1 second for each of your pets next to the target (300 range). 5: Warning Shot - Shoot the ground at target position making enemies in 400 AoE flee from there in fear. I would totally play this with 3 pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aomine.5012 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 Please no rifle.. Ranger already have sniping weapon which is LB, so Rifle is redundant and add nothing to ranger. Shield doesn't fit ranger at all too... Donnu why people want that. Make off-hand dagger more defensive (buff dagger in general) and call it a day so we don't need shield.. I wish ranger gets double pistol because it really fits the idea of rogue-like class. Make it a mid range aoe weapon that focus on mobility and aoe. 600 range, hit up to 5 targets in an arc (Like Guardian's staff), doing slightly higher damage than axe, with lots of evasive and teleport build in. Before you say anything, no, thief's p/p is not mobile and focus on single target, so this p/p will differentiate from thief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loboling.5293 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 If Rifle came to Ranger, it would obviously fulfill the midrange direct damage. With it's damage being balanced like the engie rifle. I voted for off-hand sword, mostly cause I love the look of double sword. I'd be happy with a more commando style rifle weapon though. And since we'll have pets, I'm hoping we'll get some new mechanic. (tracking ammunition, which allows your pet to see a target through stealth, and inflict reveal on hit, allowing you to see him too. So once you mark your target, your pet will never lose his scent, seems pretty fun) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the point of adding a mid-range direct damage set when you can just use a LB for that too, particularly when both other medium professions have a rifle and even more so if it was balanced like the engi rifle.

I personally dont understand why all jumping on the nostalgia train with hammer. I took shield because it could provide a more CC and defence oriented OH something we do not have (maybe axe OH but thats rather an offensive weapon in melee and only defensive against range). A mace could be something very interesting too. A melee offensive CC MH and a defensive one in the OH for example. Also scepter focus could these too as new iterations. A melee scepter would be something new. Hammer could provide some of these things too but i rather would have MH/OH weapons than two handed ones, because you could mix and match more weapon combinations.

Ranger doesn't have a weapon like that as all of its ranged offerings are pretty linear. I can't see it happening as it doesn't fit thematically (this again) and since they nerfed Guardian Staff to 300 range, I can't see them making a shotgun spec with any more range than that, which would make it pretty pointless really.

Bear.7316 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 I think shield would be an amazing addition just to have that change in playstyle choice for the ranger. Otherwise (and I've always thought this), it'd be nice to see spear (or trident) be made available as a land weapon for all classes. I would absolutely love to see warriors with spear/shield or rangers with spear/axe or interesting combos such as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draeyon.4392 Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Melee damage/CC weapon i.e hammer. Had a support spec and now a damage spec. Need some more control to really meld with the cc capabilities ranger has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenzy.9348 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Scepter. A 900 range full magic damage oriented weapon. A mage-like ranger fully embracing nature magic. A caster through and through would be cool. Rangers already have enough martial weapons. Let's go crazy with these new additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
