Aske.2706 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 What do you think? For me it's a big wish to have them. I think they're the best looking weapons in the game. :) What kind of gameplay / skills would you like to see for greatsword? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kichwas.7152 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 enough classes already have them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steki.1478 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Ele already has 2 melee elite specs. A bursty ranged weapon is more than necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Elementalists already have the conjured Greatsword, they don't need another one.What they need is a proper long-range weapon.That means, either Longbow or Rifle should be next.

Especially to the element fire, since a rifle is literally a firearm.Lorewise, my favourite iteration of the next ele spec would be an order of elementalists who are training their focus on the elements in a monastry and archery has been a practice to build focus in Asian culture for a long time, hence why I would prefer the longbow.

Raizel.1839 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I hope for, every class in the game should be able to wield a GS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadnir.5038 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Like previously said, GS is already a conjure weapon on elementalist. I think mace is a good contender for elementalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer to see dual pistols on ele sooner than greatsword tho.Very unlikely to happen because of the huge gap between the classes when it comes to available weapons.With the third elite spec, engineer still just has access to 6 different weapons out of 16 (pistol, rifle, shield, hammer, sword, new weapon).Almost impossible that we will see anet adding the missing 10 weapons to engineer.

Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 If Conjures are something to go by I'd say that Rifle with a spell slinger that shoots magic from the rifle is most likely. Already have axe, shield, hammer, bow, and greatsword from conjures. Well, a short bow may be an option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a Spell Slinger with a rifle would be more fun, as Ele already has 'bow' gameplay anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spell Slinger could be great and awesome, but knowing Anet it would be warrior rifle 2.0 with exploding bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vissarion.6509 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I am with you, i really love Greatsword, and gameplay on other classes, i really wish we get our own greatsword with spinning elements, etc. That would be so cool.I don't want Greatsword to be melee only though, that would suck.

Sifu.9745 Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Greatsword only, if ranged, like Mesmer's GS. I am so done with this melee oriented ele playstyle. We need a good ranged dps option. Something like this: GS in Fire A would be condi based pure dmg, 1200 range. Air: power based dmg, 900 range, dmg + cc. Water: pure support, healing 600 range. Earth melee range (or 240), condi dmg, defense. because of melee range, dmg shouldn't be much lower then Fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliamRationem.5172 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I favor the idea of ele either having another ranged weapon or having some means of changing the basic class mechanics in order to facilitate either a weapon swap or something that at least grants ele the option of switching between melee and ranged in some fashion.

JohnWater.5760 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 IMO Elementalist doesn't need another melee weapon, it's already super focused on melee, after Weaver it grows up even more.Staff and Sceper isn't a good weapon at all, the skills are clunky, staff for worst.Another melee weapon? really?Elementalist wasn't supposed to be a magical knight, the HP and defense is low enough to make you squish.Elementalists already have a greatsword, it's good but a has a long CD.If it's going on like Mesmer Greatsword, is ok but Longbow fits much more than a ranged greatsword.Pistols and Rifle is something weird to put in Ele, Ele doesn't even have a good magical weapon.Doens't make to put physical weapons to Ele again.The Meta weapons are Dagger and Sword, made by Weaponsmith.
