Every Prof will get every weapon

[Durzlla]

What’s more is that the team is also working very hard finding a way to make it so that every profession has access to every weapon and their own weapon skills for those previously locked weapons. Engineer plus Hammer? Check.

This is a quote from Colin Brohanson on this link, found this little gem on the engi forums!

who else is fucking Psyched?

Double pistol mesmer/thief!!

Although a warrior with a staff is just going to look odd.

I was thinking Warrior Staff is probably going to be them bashing people in with the staff, they already have those animations (could get them on an ele if you bugged it with a lightning hammer, you used what were clearly NOT hammer animations but were clearly melee oriented while using a staff.)

Dual pistol mesmer would be beast.

Not to be a buzzkill, but I doubt every profession will get every weapon. Think about all the abilities they have to implement for elementalist with the 4 attunements. And balancing everything..? Maybe they might add a few more weapons for some professions, but as a progressing thing. Not like all weapons at once.

You're right. Probably something like a martial arts kind of training weapon. Plus there are already ramrod objects out there we use to bash people - broken sticks, shovels, etc.

Longbow mesmer

hmmm

[Fencers]

Could add interesting gameplay elements, but would this also imply that the traits systems will be built out more? Not too bad a prospect.

Hm I kind of like the idea. It won't be there for years tho.
And I also hope if they do it, they can make it work.

hmmm

It'll be a Melee weapon just watch lol.

They already said they were going to be expanding on our skills (probably just utility) and traits by the end of the year, so I'd imagine more traits would be added with the weapons as well.

I can't really see all professions getting every weapon, could they have meant more weapons by the end of the year? I would like to see a longbow/ double sword thief.

Not every weapon at one time.

They would prob add a new weapon for each class every other update.

I cut you with longbow string?

Lol who knows, you shoot lazerZ from the GS, so I have a feeling you'll pummel people with the longbow

[Pydras]

I do like the idea of having the bows on my Engineer. Hammers would be awesome too.

[DrMcNinja]

I'll probably be one of the first but: Hopefully some decent long-range for Guardians at last

[Herecius]

Greatsword engineer.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING BUT IT'S CAUSING EXPLOSIONS

[Shink]

This will be awesome with the new skill-progression (GW1) they are planning to add for GW2

[Deleted]

This is fucking epic. Finally a proper ranged weapon for my guardian? GIEF NAO!

[Fencers]

Yes, yes. But it's not really an issue of lack of traits, skills and weapon abilities that make the gameplay experience so shallow of thought. It's more that the traits & skills are not terribly interesting for the most part or "crunchy".

When I say, 'build out traits more'. I don't mean create more of them, per se.

I do hope Anet create interesting dynamics to think about alongside a greater variety of weapons, however.

Having an elementalist as primary character, my brain hurts thinking of how many abilities they would have to add in order to incorporate every weapon being usable for just that class, let alone everyone else.
