Zero.1028 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 So I didn't see a post complaining about this yet so I thought I'd make one instead. In the last few missions in the PoF story line Rytlock hands you Sohothin and instead of using another 1h sword he busts out a greatsword. Like wtf Anet? Why does Rytlock get to use a greatsword instead of Renegade? Why are Renegades stuck with a crap weapon (shortbow) that apparently doesn't even match Kalla's lore? Is it foreshadowing Rytlocks death in the next expansion so that Revs can get a greatsword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirlias.8104 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 He can use a GS cause he's Rytlock and we are nobody.And next expansion Revs will use spear \o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neage.3579 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I feel like the easy answer that Anet could provide is technically Rytlock was not always a Revenant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, like how Trahearne and Marjory use a Greatsword as Necromancers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Anet said something about teasing future expects using the NPCs.2) it could just be because he is Rytlock. He is the only one to change from warrior to rev and even when he was a warrior he could be seen using a pistol pretty frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a warrior, Rytlock uses a pistol offhand (no not the Hidden Pistol skill, an actual pistol weapon with thief weapon skills).We see many other NPCs using weapons that their profession cannot use. This is nothing new.Besides, Rytlock isn't a Renegade. He's a Herald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alga.6498 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 ANet's logic with NPCs, make zero sense and I really dislike when they are doing so.Or some NPCs are having for an example, Faolain had Ebon Vanguard weapons(????!??)Priory scholors are using long bowsAnd as old Rythlock, he had sword and a pistol while he was a Warrior.......Urgh...But very well. Looks like GS was just random for him or a hint what Rev will get in our 3rd Expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchofas.8243 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Or maybe sohotin is really just a one handed sword, but player had to two handed it because it's too heavy. Stop blaming anet and rytlock if your character is weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least if you play a female Sylvari named Shephard. Not that I'd ever do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubySzymek.1362 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Everything points out to renegade getting gs instead of shortbow in original plan. Kalla is wielding GS as you can see her monument in Black Citadel. Also, renegade's icon is huge sword. Why they changed it to shortbow? We can only guess. I know I don't like overall theme of this spec.Rytlock wielding GS has nothing to do with renegade imo, but with the fact he is/was a warrior.

Zaltys.7649 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 'Rule of cool', I suppose....but I'm honestly getting tired of Rytlock. He's always sulking or whining, and only stops that to brag about how weak the enemy was. (Never mind that he's usually knocked out long before the battle ends.)
