[Poll] Weapon for the next Guardian Elite Specialization

[CreamSoda.6839]

Where's the option for shield main-hand?

[Loboling.5293]

I'd like to see ranged double dagger (400 range) that gives guardians cover conditions and high condition damage.

[aceofbass.2163]

Voted for rifle because I want to see the guardian have a proper 1200 range weapon (well the DH provides that but...) coupled with a pure healing spec.

[Hostility.4961]

Main hand focus and off hand focus would fit us so well :)

[yLoon.5289]

Shield as Main-hand woohoooo Captain muRRicCcca Style~~Double shield FTW!!

[supa suop.8026]

I want guardians to have a main-hand shield. I would call the spec the Bastion. It would use wells as aoe protection spell to keep themselves and party member from harm.

If not that then my second option would be dual wielding daggers for a martial artist kind of spec and possibly giving guardians an adrenaline type of bar (we'll call it Ki) tied to the virtues.

[Sodenii.1075]

We need more pistols and guardian would be perfect for those magic bullets!

[Assic.2746]

I can't imagine guardian with a pistol.

[michelada.2947]

i want to see assassin version ofthe guardian, no more support plz we already have a lot

[Kain Francois.4328]

Staff.

I want a healer spec.

Oh wait... Healer should've been base guardian. Welp.

[Seteruss.4058]

Axe offhand....i want to match them xD

[perilisk.1874]

Pistol, on and off-hand. The specialization will be named... Paragun.

But, no, seriously, a mystic gunslinger with sanctified weapons and prayers or chants would be pretty cool, and there are some decent pop cultural touchstones to reference.

[Pepper.3901]

With the lack of distance weapons on heavies, why would anyone pass on a pistol or at least a rifle?

[Martimus.6027]

Warhorn, definitely. "Crusader." Speed buffs and shouts that can rally people and give barriers and what not.

[crepuscular.9047]

since guardian's lore said they had monk training, i wanna see some type of warrior monk... so my vote is barefist :p

[Cerioth.7062]

Greataxe or Greatshield.

[crazyhusky.2985]

I voted for pistol, However feel guardian REALLY needs two things.Firstly decent DPS long range offhand weapon. Looking at all guardians offhand weapons they tend to be support based.The scepter having a 900 range, having an off hand pistol that hits around the same range would compliment it.

Secondly A decent DPS long range weapon like a rifle or Shortbow.Because they are never gonna fix the Longbow for guardian.I feel like shortbow would be a nice a condi ranged weapon. While the Rifle would be a decent Power based weapon.

We DON'T need warhorn. Guardian already has shouts, and the warhorn normally gives shouts to classes.I don't think it would add anything new to guardian, TBH i think they should give us warhorn in a patch rather than making a new elite spec out of it,Because we know the warhorn will give a few small buffs which might not do much, compared to other classes, just look at mesmar and druid.

So rather than getting another support weapon, We NEED something that focuses on DPS to keep up with the other classes.What is needed is another off hand weapon to help with our DPS or a two handed weapon that has better DPS than the longbow.

[BadSanta.6527]

New espec should use staff , when equipped the new elite all your staff skills change . It can be caster type or even melee

[Ashen.4061]

Polearm is what I would like to see.

[Eekasqueak.7850]

Rifle as a sort of shotgun preacher based spec, mid range with good CC

[Snowjob.7245]

Double pistol for gunslinger action.

[Kulvar.1239]

I would like a rifle. It would be a deconstruction of the "paladin" trope.My guardian is an Asura, it would improve the "magitech" looks (that sadly Engineer turrets don't provide because Asuran ones have no custom looks).It shouldn't be a power weapon as we already have scepter and staff as range power weapons. A condition ranged weapon would be a good addition.Should it stay a 1200 range weapon, virtues could be modified to works as targettable AoE.It could also be given a "shotgun" feeling with shorter range or reduced effectiveness as long range.

My favourite weapon in the game are Staff, Swords, and Rifle.

[Haco.1546]

A Guardian with swift attacks like a monk.

[nia.4725]

I'd like a high mobility, dynamic spec that changes the guard's heavy feel. That's why I choose pistol, even though I also like dagger and warhorn.

The best tho would be a spear tbh, paragon ftw.

[phokus.8934]

We had a 1200 range weapon, a melee weapon, I suspect Guardians will get a mid ranged weapon next. Now only if we could use sword in the off-hand.
