Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 "We will at least get a preview of the new weapons in a beta week set for later this month, starting November 28. With the beta incoming, I asked ArenaNet's balance lead Cal Cohen what we could expect from the new weapon. "Each profession has its own needs," he says, "so we've been looking at how to enhance the roles available to them all in different ways. For example, staff on warrior and rifle on mesmer are intended for support builds." Starting from tomorrow, daily blog posts at the Guild Wars 2 official site will run through each profession's new skills." The second part of Guild Wars 2's new expansion is out now, and it's taking players to the demon realm | PC Gamer 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAlcedo.3281 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 It was obvious that it would be support but good that we have confirmation. Now we wait for all the crybabies who wanted another dps weapon to flood this part of the forum. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myror.7521 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Wait a second ...... rifle = Support for mes? What a weird choice for a Support weapon xd. Also i like staff will be Support tho i was Open for both Support or DPS 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny.7260 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I'm cringing at the idea of Rifle Mirage. Imagine your clones all being able to direct their target at an ally like Scepter on Specter. Go full Persona on your team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just damage yourself and your clones with the ambush. Like Staff on Mirage, it just grants allies boons. Healing allies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see...could be another Banner rework situation. Different dev involved. Having not seen Relic of Karakosa in game yet, I can see it being heavy on blast finishers, maybe an evade/block, maybe a ranged cripple. I can see weakness and slow play a part in it. I can also see the possibility of barrier, protection, and resolution on it. It can work, melee or ranged, but they have to want it to work. We'll see if it ends up being good, or limited like Tactics on the whole is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoosh.2718 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 Will be curious to see how this staff will play out and if they will add in traits to support the weapon. Since warrior lacks the ability to provide defensive boons to allies, I will be thinking that this staff will be providing boons such as protection, regen, resistance and Resolution. I doubt they will be adding any Aegis onto the staff as this will be taking away from Guardian. It will be nice to finally have a weapon to be able to actually play a roll of support like the other classes have for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verdict is Vengence.6912 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I'm one of the warrior mains that doesn't want a support espec or weapon. That said, I at least hope they don't pigeonhole us into a kit like gunsaber. Having an espec always forced to use a weapon like gunsaber feels too limiting, so I hope it doesn't happen again. Rehashed animations? Fine. Forced weapon use and therefore limiting options? Not cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fine as a power weapon then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "favoured child" meme proved to be correct under the banner rework guy, but it hasn't been under CMC. Guardian will probably always be the best at aegis, but I don't think they'd be afraid to put one instance of group aegis on a support warrior.

Mara.6782 Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 I hope staff is range weapon. Wizard's Vault has paragon armor skin. But i know im gonna be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
