Edit: In fact, I've just had an epiphany. Instead of Warrior's elite specs giving new access to existing weapons, each Warrior espec should have introduced a new weapon to the game that only that Warrior espec could use. That way, you end up with meaningful profession development and the idea of the Warrior being a master of weapons gets reinforced. There's plenty they could work with; flails, spears, halberds, boomerangs, nets, fist weapons, whips, and I can already think of interesting implementations for a lot of these.

And then every elite specialization loses access to weapon swapping, like Jokesworn? That sounds so bad, they might actually do that to Warrior. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungrul.9358 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Uh, I didn't say that. I just imagined it working like any other weapon, just with a dedicated traitline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Boz.2038 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 On a more "out there" note... Behemoth - Warrior discovers steroids. F1 becomes Colossus Form, in which the warrior visibly grows. The new skill type, Glyphs, work as ele and druid glyphs, with supportive and defensive abilities by default, and offensive abilities in Colossus Form. Instead of a brand new weapon, Behemoth loses the ability to wield any weapon other than greatsword, hammer, rifle. Greatsword, hammer, rifle all become one-handed weapons for the Behemoth, for either the main or off hand. Yes, getting extra stats, sigils, and infusions is entirely intended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, there would be a trait that grant the Pack mule might with a 300s ICD whenever he reach a waypoint (there is no way it would be free).. don't forget the trade offs to make it more fun. While equipping the extra bag, -50% move speed, lets do it ANET style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I don’t know why they didn’t because there’s definitely niches that Great Axe could fill, Skill 2: Cull: Swing your axe in-front of you, dealing large damage and gaining fury (damage similar to guard hammer 2) Skill 3: Isolate: Reach out with your axe and pull your foes towards you. (3 targets, line attack, range 300-450). Skill 4: Spinning guard: Spin your axe in front of you, blocking incoming attacks and dealing damage to nearby foes. Grants might per for struck. Skill 5: Gather: Swing your axe around you, pulling foes towards yourself. Burst: Execute: Leap toward target and slam down with your axe, dealing large damage (radius 100, range 900). Deal bonus damage to CCd foes (100%) Now warrior has a weapon with a bit of mobility, good burst skills (2 and burst), and has pulls to setup some burst style attacks. Continues to have most of the same weaknesses/signature of warrior with large cast times. Sample combo this set could allow (because pulls would be amazing in warrior): Gather->Cull->wep swap->Arcing Slice->whirlwind away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole idea was make to f2-3 kits that require 1 bar of adrenaline to enter for a set duration (like a hybrid between kits and elementalist summons), with burst on F1, adrenaline capped at 1 bar. You had Great Axe (control and damage) , War Drum (area support and effect), and Cannon (ranged DPS and support, kinda like engi mortar), with main hand scepter, casting mid range rage magic or OH focus casting rage magic. The pulls would work so great with warrior’s core kit, it frustrates me. I think reworking hammer into this would make more sense tbh. I wouldn’t want to see a massive overhaul to greatsword imo, just tweaks to 100b and auto attacks would really improve it.

Guyver.1426 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 (edited) If great axe is added as new weapon, other weapons like great sword and great hammer have to be reworked for different functions. My thought is: Great sword is for high damage and mobility, for example, can move while using 100 blade and gain quickness, Great hammer is for high burst damage and cc, Great axe is for high 111damage and larger range of area attacks of all skills, access the fourth attack of skill 1.

Jzaku.9765 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I would say a support-gameplay oriented espec much like Spectre or Druid are purpose-made to play differently from their base class - and Anet would ostensibly agree after their big blogpost about spreading boon availability across all classes "play the build, not the class". But they also decided to completely waste away their biggest chance to do so in the next 3-6 years untill the next espec release for Warrior by making Bladesworn a pure flavour build that directly competes with Berserker in role, so who knows really.

Doomfrost.5728 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Shortbow, attacks could consist of poison spread, interrupts, knockback and short arrow volleys. Utilities could give access to preparations which would offer both offensive and support options. I think giving warriors preparation skills would allow them control fights a lot better. Seeing a warrior set up a preparation and not knowing if they're going to activate it now or later I think would add a bit of tension to an engagement. Especially if it's a preparation that has a dual nature in both offensive and defensive application.

F1-3 give different weapons (Great Axe, Drum, and Cannon) I am the not so mighty Thor The ability to swap between three or even four different weapon sets and get more benefits after weapon swap (expanding on traits brawlers rec versitile power, and fast hands (reduced recharge time) ) this is due to the large a mount of weapons you can weild Edited February 23, 2022 by Infinity.2876 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morokey.8534 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 (edited) 2nd burst skill based on which weapon is in off hand. If wearing same weapons in both hands, 2nd burst will be different ofc. Shield burst may be some kind of barrier share or protection+regen., heal... For greatsword maybe pull or some aoe cc.. New weapon may be staff, it's 2nd burst may be some kind of boon share or heal etc... +Discipline rework because there are only 2 traits which somehow improwes bursts so there could be better synergi.

A spec with this mechanic would 100% get an offhand weapon, and it would make sense. Something like a focus probably, unless Bladesworn pistol becomes MH (it should), then OH pistol.

artharon.9276 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) I want something close to the lotro captain's gameplay. heavy blows, defeat response skills, companion soldiers, unleashing ghosts, sharing self healthbar with someone you choose (sheild brother), basically buffs pets and heal focused. Most logical weapon for that is staff to be used as halberd. Edited February 26, 2022 by artharon.9276 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nopoet.2960 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 What if warrior can no longer dual wield. Every single hand weapon mainhand now. Sword, axe, mace get new 4 and 5 skills. Shield and warhorn get new 1 - 3 skills. The new weapon is unarmed. You can equip auras if you are unarmed that act as stats and influence your unarmed abilities. Burst skills involve your empty off hand somehow. Not exactly sure what to do with two handed weapons. Maybe you can double down with the aura play on rifle, bow, hammer, and greatsword.

Doggie.3184 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) I still want to punch things with dual focus and claw-like focus skins. Since focus are still magic weapons I guess it'd need some elemental explosion punches like Diablo 2 Assassins. That or dual greatshields to turtle and squish things with. 🙂 Edited February 28, 2022 by Doggie.3184 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
