We are getting Balthazar+GS as our next Legend, right ANET?

In my eyes, it look like something photoshoped but... Well I might be wrong.

All Heavy Armor classes already share Hammer tho.

Most weapons for the rev are not that great and if it were to be used traditionally like a warrior uses it then it would probably have a lot of movement skills. Rev's are just too squishy to stand and fight like a warrior can.

Just wait and see what happens who knows maybe we might get something cool like Balths fighting style on a greatsword with Jora as the new legend or even be the only class in the game that can use off hands with a great sword or some nonsense like that.

Yeah, but if they were paying attention to this thread they would see that it is mostly still going because we are discussing more than just Greatsword. Thus it's hard to say this thread proves that the greatsword is a popular weapon. If anything this thread proves that folks are split on the issue. :P

Dagger/Dagger would be fun. Honestly, if they gave Rev dagger it would have to be double dagger or bust.

They also all share sword, axe, shield, and spear. Being that these are all Solider professions I'm not surprised that they already share five weapons.

like many wise men has said before: no.

[Wizardauz.3761]

Don't really understand the backlash/hate for a Greatsword option.

 

I'd like a Greatsword but am really hoping for a good 2-Handed Melee option.

 

Rev Hammer has more value as a ranged weapon and Staff, while good, is more defensive then a Damaged focused weapon.

 

2handers imo have more options since it would be 5 new abilities rather then 3 for a 1 handed option. Unless they gave us a new mainhand and offhand

No experience playing Shortbow or Renegade. Only heard that its trash.

 

But it did make me laugh, +1

[Ryouzanpaku.1273]

Yes pls! Balthazar with GS as ranged weapon and animation when it is floating next to me!

Svanir (or Jora) and an axe in the main hand, that might be nice.

I have the fire and ice axe skins and this would be an awesome addition.

[Eutuxia.1537]

Ugh no!! Are you not tired of balthazar yet?

I don't have access to the game, but that's part of the same image used with the Retribution trait line. Looks quite a bit doctored to boot.

Possibly. All I know is that it's the image used literally on the side of these forums. :P

[Hawkmoon.5849]

IMO:

Razah is a good option. There's a lot of interesting skill synergy/lore type stuff to explore there.

 

Gotta be honest though... one of the best suggestions I've seen in this thread so far is Varesh Ossa. I mean, that might be my GW1 Dervish bias poking through a little bit, but...
