Another vote for a 2h axe.

Seems like a bad oversight to not include one, particularly when you have a race based on the Norse and given that the giant axe-wielding Viking archetype (whether it was actually common or not) is one a lot of players would likely want to play.

Lance and Shield for Guardian

Can agree to almost anything but please please no Lance for fighting on foot. This is weapon for mounted combat and also only for charging (later on cavalery just take out swords, axes , hammers , warpicks ,etc)

It looks so stupid and unrealistic that it makes my eyes bleed...

+1 lances don't work without a mount, and even then they are more for show and events than actual combat.

Agreed. The Lancer is absolutely ridiculous in TERA. I mean I know that it's a fantasy game and all but a melee lancer is just bananas! I like fantasy as much as the next guy but I prefer it to be a bit realistic. I can relate to it better.

Also, unarmed fighting for the thief. Maybe mesmer as well.

I would like to see my dervish again... it can weild scythe, spear, staff, and sheild on main hand. Off hand it shall have shield, warhorn, and torch. I've always wanted to see double-weild shield in a game, and I imagine it to be a command center kind of build, and when weilded grants large defense but immovable, but allow for long range hinderances. The rest would be normal builds, each change in weapon has a designated "avatar", which were a staple of the original dervish, (the double-sheild would be Kormir... for obvious reasons, and would allow you to change to the command center mode) while the Staff would be Lyssa, Scythe Grenth, Spear Balthazar, etc. Each avatar would change build from the normal. Tat is mmy dream character... sorry if it is slightly confusing, I just made it up as I went.

As some have pointed out, you might see more weapons in expansions, like spear/shield and scythe if there is an expansion set in elona, or Oriental weapons for one set in Cantha.

It'd be cool if they added whips (this would be cool on necro or thief), flails, 2-handed axes. Other then that they have pretty much the stock and trade weapons of a fantasy world.

Does GW2 have enough weapons? 

If not, what would you like to see added, either as a single weapon or in combination with another?

 

No, they forgot to put the Halberd, but i'm sure its because a guy plain forgot to code it. They are probably slaping each other now that i reminded it to them

And no you shouldn't be able to dual wield halbert...

Ps 2h axes are overated

Misfit the elementalist have a kind of electrical whip as a skill.

Is it even possible to duel wield halberts? Of course, they can carry giant hammers around like they're nothing...

I can imagine them adding a weapon for each profession with a full expansion. Could be completely new weapons, or could even be regional variants of existing weapons, like a Katana and Dai Katana for sword and 2H sword in a Cantha based expansion.

We probably won't see new weapons outside of major expansions though.

More than enough weapons currently but i wouldn't mind seeing more in future expansions such as;

Great Axe

Crossbow

Great Katana

Flail

Scythe

Omg...I could totally see a necro with a scythe!

this is going to be a major expansion point I imagine.  The amount of weapong types they could add is staggering, but each one takes a lot of effort to balance and create.  I'd love to see a new weapon on a static release schedule though.  Something like a new weapon every 2-3 months. 

would love to see many of the uncommon weapons like:

Nets

Whips

Javelins

Numbchuck

Baton

Sai

Flail

claws

Like I said in my first post, Necros actually form a scythe with the staff. It pops up only when casting, but the effect is pretty cool if you ask me.

Though, I wouldn't mind an actual scythe for one either! So I'll agree!

some ideas:

melee: pickaxe, halberd (and other pole variants), lance, battlestaff, scythe, knucles, claws, fans, whip, flail, anchor, nunchaku,

ranged: handcannon, boomerang, chakram, crossbow, sling, javelin, shuriken, darts, bolas, lasso,

To be fair, bolas do exist, its one of the warriors utility skills.

Could cut down on the list a little as well, since some weapons have a repeating pattern.

There are plenty of weapons of the various types with different stats.

It would even be fine if each class only has 1 weapon type this is Guild Wars darn it.

engineer specific.....chainsaw

its not that it doesnt have enough weapons, but maybe more different skins and design. You cant just poot in a taser, you have to at least follow the GW lore here. But then the asuras could have came up with some sort of "magical" electric shocking device.

omg YES! Engineers technically only have 2 weapons, both ranged so a chainsaw would be perfect melee weapon

Hmm don't know, trying to think of Guardian specific weapon, maybe a drill lance(Dynasty Warriors 7)

Or a mace on a chain like a flail.

Also I saw someone mention unrealistic...riiighhht

But yea IDK was just throwing things out there.

I also saw someone mention chainsaw seems pretty cool IMO.

Let's see...

Polearms/war spears(made up name I think) can go towards Guardians and Warriors (Already have spears for underwater

Just a magical Pole more so for melee but for casters like Necro/Ele/Mesmer

Chain hook/scythe type thing for thief/rangers

Gun bow for Engineers/Rangers

 

Unique towards each proffesion

2 handed axe for warriors

Lance and Shield for Guardian

Windmill Shuriken for Thiefs

Gun sword for Engineers

Fan for Mesmer

Force(May that mofo force be with yo azz) attunment for Ele's

Orbs for Necros

Claws for Ranger

Weapons that you can find that are limited

Energy fist(Asura Tech)

Sniper Rifle(Char Tech)

Energy Flail kind of like the one in Gear Wars 3, explodes(Norn Tech)

Don't know one for humans, but the weapons a bit strong and can only be found in the environment, respawn so often.

Those are just some ideas though :/

some of those I have no idea what they are but for the most part I like the way you think =D Really cool ideas there Rizel... but what on earth is a gun bow? >.<

Well I said Gun Bow but really just a crossbow but able to have different ammo types and shoots darts as well, crossbows take some time to shoot I believe where as a gun bow would be faster and more hightech than a crossbow.

There was this one game where a guy had a shield tied to a rope and it had blades around it, maybe that can go to a Guardian or something.

I also played a game where a guy had a spear cannon, think that'd be a nice weapon for the engineer or an elite skill for char depending on skills and such.

i think the game has enough wepons  and weapon types i jsut wish that those types had subcatigories with diffrent skills

im going to be honest  that i think i may ge t bored with the ammount of wepon veriaty for my main characters
