If you want Dante, just make it dual wield pistols and instead of 'Devastations' have tricks like thieves have, like extreme leaps, evades, and teleports.

Granted I like breathing new life into offhands. Maybe, give it a F1 burst and a F2 burst where F2 uses the offhand, or some other burst if using a two hander and each burst only uses 1 bar of adrenaline but does not consume all adrenaline. That way you can also five the primary weapons new bursts, and losing T2 and T3 bursts would count as the trade off that Anet now wants each Espec to have.

Dante use 2H sword together with pistols.The closes we can get is an 1H sword and a pistol.

He also uses dual swords depending on the game. He swaps from the firearms to melee and, unless they changed this in the newer games, doesn't use them at the same time. So GS + dual pistols is as meta as you can get for a Dante Cosplay, unfortunately there is no class with greatsword and dual pistols.

@Lan Deathrider.5910 said:He also uses dual swords depending on the game.

Yeah, but we already can have two swords equipped (and know no build which would use two swords, because that's simply not optimal), so there would be no point to try to bank on that.

That's why Major Trait 9 exists. You could go around with GS and still use pistol as a burst skill.

But he dual wields pistols. If you want Dante, then dual wield pistols.

Too bad that won't happen. Spellbreaker got two weapons from a single elite, so next elite will not get two weapons. Next elite most likely get main-hand weapon or two handed weapon, though.

Spellbreaker getting double daggers does not preclude any future elite from getting double pistols. Anet themselves present the warrior as the master of weapons. Pistols and scepters are the last one handed main weapons that they currently do not, and scepters have never been an offhand weapon. If warrior gets pistols, then it will be in both hands. Other weapons warriors may get are staff (melee most likely), shortbow (which would be interesting), focus, and scepter. I do not see warrior ever wielding a scepter or focus, so dual pistols, shortbow, or staff. An e-spec with dual pistols with an actual power dps focus (rifle is meh outside of volley and gunflame) and tricks, deceptions, or traps is something that would be great for the warrior to have.

Actually, it would be kind of cool if new specs specialize in a already unlocked weapon, just change some mechanics and the weapon skills for said weapon

bang boom, new thing

That's.... could be extremely good idea. Just replace burst with something like a enhanced new weapon abilities.

Damn, it would be great to have that playability <3
