gannondorf.7628 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I would like an offhand weapon which can complete mace/staff (obviously a buffed/reworked one) for a pure healing/support spec like the old gw1 monk does (or at last parangon). Guardian lack a pure support spec to my taste (firebrand seems to much oriented to condition damage). After all guardian was designed toward monk/parangon from the original game...

migcun.5240 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hello all members. In my opinion, I believe it's more than fair to give new weapons to the game. Spears , tridents , great axes, short spears (1handed spears) . Spears and tridents are enable under water, they could also allow players to use them outside . This would be something really really new to everyone. Let's us think out a bit, for guardian in this case, we have few options left, or we go warhorn, our off hand weapon. If we go warhorn we will be support :angry: not again xD ! I believe that we should have new weapons to use, that would give new options and new skills, the game would be like "new" to every player because it would give something different from the options that we have left, some weapons are already obvious and the build they will provide aswell.

Using underwater weapons outside of water would be something possible though because they have not to do all skin designs for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikau.6920 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I want to see a tank/support spec in the next xpac. Off hand mace or warhorn are the weapons that makes the most sense for this. Maybe even short bow. I also would love to see land spears. But I don't believe that gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghotistyx.6942 Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I can see both Pistol and Warhorn being the next big candidates. I'd also like Guardian to finally get the chill support they've danced around with Hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyafuji.1340 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I voted rifle, well, what can I say, Im a WVW player and if they give us pistol I fell its gonna be weak and range 900, I want 1200. As it comes to more theme compliant thing, I would like the ability to use torch as main hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

migcun.5240 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 They could also allow players to use the specific build like long bow for dragon hunter, we could use it without Beeing force to use dragon hunter build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means they would start to realease 1 more normal trait line per class and one elite to make that work :\ they cant even designed 1 decent elites...

Korvous.6340 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I mean... In my mind rifle or pistol don't fit guardian at all thematically and I don't rightly see them adding new weapons to the game. I went for mace off-hand as guardians kinda lack hard, applicable cc. Yes, we have hammer but from a pve perspective that's not overly helpful. A nice power damage spec with some solid cc and access to our normal range of utility would be great. I say "and access to our normal range of utlity" primarily to argue against DH fyi. Having to remove condi clear, stability, and reflect utility in order to make way for traps kinda sucked in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darknicrofia.2604 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Selfishly I want a rifle just so I have an excuse to actually use The Predator that I crafted 2 years ago hoping that Guardians will get rifle at some point in the future.

RUNICBLACK.7630 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Throwing my two cents in SPEAR ! Yes to Paragon and if any of you have read Brandon Sandson's "Stormlight Archive" the character "Kaladin Stormblessed" if he isn't a Guardian wielding a spear I can't think of a better example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saiyan.1704 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Pistols (Mainhand) because of our skill-set possibilities; #3 having three shot bursts, #2 interrupt enemies and grants Quickness to allies, #1 having a 3 shot, 2 shot, last combo is a 1 shot that interrupts and completely refreshes pistol#3... you know, OP stuffs. Though Shouts on Warhoarn would be interesting to theory craft, FB is already support oriented. I absolutely DO NOT want another support spec... not everyone likes that role m8.

Arcaedus.7290 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 The people want spears, Anet. DO IT! We all know that you can't just "bring spears to land," but what you can do is give the game a new weapon, brand it as a "glaive" or a "polearm" and recycle underwater spear skins as well as some current staff animations on land in addition to new class-specific animations. Would that not be fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan.2015 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Personally It would be neat if the Spear was redone as a land weapon. Guardian lore points to their origin as a result of Paragon (who used spears in GW1) teachings melding with other traditions like the monk resulting in the Guardian. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Guardian It could be a hybrid weapon offering something like 3 melee skills and 2 range skills if it was 2-handed or 2 melee and 1 ranged skill if it was a 1-handed weapon. I mean a Guardian with a Spear and Shield would look badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
