Psycoprophet.8107 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 It looks to me hes un sheathed it a bit, Vulcan see the tsuba(hand guard) than the blade appears to be on fire or somthing. Than on the underside it looks like a gun(pistol) apparatus is attached to its handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorem.8104 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Its either that, or it could be showing a one handed pistol and one handed sword. In either case, it looks like we not getting dual wield pistols Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be more likely to have something like a conjure mechanic than freely swapping into kits like an engineer, yeah. Maybe even something like the old conjures (or firebrand tomes) of having a limited amount of ammunition when using those skills. Should be interesting either way if balanced appropriately, though!

Harak.8397 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Gauntlet mounted Storm bolters ! .. okay maybe not Proto mandalorian wrist weapons ! Seriously, I'm curious to see what Canthan lore they are going to tag onto that. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ochosan.4071 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 If we get a gunblade mechanic, this will seriously be dope... for about one to two weeks when it's playable then nerfed into the ground. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A warriors life this. I mean, its hard to get hyped for Warrior. Yeah they will totally let us dominate and be the highlight and fotm for EoD. Totally, that is exactly how Anet and Gw2 works. 😛 If its good, it will be nerfed. If its bad, it won't be buffed 😄 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalythsu.8350 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Or maybe it's just that they wanted to represent the warrior with a gun and a sword, like the guardian who was represented with two swords 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortrialus.3062 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I have two guesses; This is either a photon forge mode that changes your weapon skills into this GUNBLADE mode. Or when Arenanet said "we are breaking old rules when it comes to weapons on elite specs", this is one of them and warriors get offhand pistol AND this is the first spec that changes core weapon skills and it changes 1H sword skills when you have this elite spec equipped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion.4198 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I wonder if this is an Imperial or a Luxon specialization (if Luxons still exist in some form). If the later, I wonder which one would be the Kurzick one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MatyrGustav.6210 Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 The other way i see this working is the Gunblade, and Gloves are two seperate kits used with F2 and F3 while regular pistol(s) is added as a normal weapon. F1 is the normal adrenaline strike for the weapon in hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lean more towards believing that the armor pieces in the picture are indeed armor pieces, while the weapon shown in the picture is the elite spec weapon. The barrels are most likely just deco, there are elite spec armor pieces with such things while they don't serve a gameplay function. Spellbreaker has daggers on the shoulder skin, which are not used, it just reinforces the dagger theme (how the bullets and barrels on the gauntlets could also reinforce the pistol theme, while not being gameplay relevant). Druid has animal decor on the shoulders, the spec doesn't work alot with the pet, it actually even weakens them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a normal situation I'd agree, however they have highlighted both the weapon and the mechanic in the warriors teaser. So far they have not highlighted any armour parts, even the Necromancer who had a hat on, only the weapon and the vials were highlighted. Revenant, the weapon is highlighted and the big blue foefire like blast is also highlighted. All of the Gen 3 elite specs have shown the weapon and mechanic in the image. I believe the weapons are the glove guns, the sword is the new mechanic, which honestly could be either kits, conjure's or a new form of burst (like engineer, ranger and like necromancer). The only thing that is throwing me off, is the red/black shadow behind the warrior, what on earth does this represent? a thief theme on warrior? or an elementalist theme on warrior with fire (fitting for guns and a flaming sword i must say).

Well, if we are honest, then the teaser pictures in general have not been consistent. Harbinger teaser image has been mostly black with just some highlights in necro green. This new teaser on the other hand is entirely coloured in the warrior colour palette. Willbender teaser image was handled differently by just making the image alot darker, which allowed players to lighten it up to find specific armor details on it (and which changes with some colours a bit, hence why people thought it's thief because of colour). Point is: there are many differences between the teaser images. I wouldn't deduct the fact that these 2 things are shown more clear this time as evidence that they are something different than what you'd usually expect them to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nopoet.2960 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 So are we going to be able to equip pistols in our glove slot? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verdict is Vengence.6912 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I'd be more excited if they put up a long list of blurred out words and said it was a patch notes tease for an upcoming patch dedicated to only fixing warrior and bringing the class up to date. I'd buy it instead of an expansion along with a founder's edition if they offered it. But to take a guess about the silhouette, I'd say the gun gloves may give the same playstyle like Berserker from Black Desert Online and Karok from Vindictus using the gloves in punches causing short range explosions along with a single long range cannon/big boom ability. The sword is probably using something similar to either primal bursts from berserker or holosmith's photon forge where its a mode warrior will be able to enter. It's most likely has something to do with the new gimmick of the new espec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
