ScottBroChill.3254 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 dual pistols. that would be so sick with elemental bullets flying everywhere. it would be cool if it used a reload system and worked as an assassin/burst class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra Lux.2846 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Magick Archer is all I want for Elementalist. With Guardian symbols or something and maybe some kind of attunement focusing to power up "arrows" idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raif.9507 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I would seriously love an elemental gunslinger. Something like:Water: all about offense - ice bullets that cause vulnerability and slow, piercing bullets and long range. Fire: short range with defense in it, ways to create areas where people don't want to go in such as fire fields in front of them. shotgun blasts with knockbacks in an aoe in front of them.Air: teleporting bullets! medium range (900?) shoot a bullet to teleport to an enemy then stun and blind them. high powered single target bullet shots. knockup from an air grenade bulletEarth: shrapnel shots, wide AoE effectsJust examples. I love the spellslinger gun archtype and would love to see it. Give me a reason to make HOPE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gustaff.6581 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Does it matter?Staff will still be meta, so doesnt matter what weapon is, what matters are the utilities the spec will bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works well, but that would be another one-handed weapon with 900 or less range. We really do need another at least 1200 range two-handed wep. The staff is great but its speed makes it limited and better for support. Ele has only one two-handed, land-based, non-conjure weapon. Every other class has at least two. I feel like it's the right time for a longbow for Ele. Though I do want to get pistols for Ele at some point in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree that we need a 2 handed 1200 range weapon when a single handed weapon can also be 1200 range. Hell, I'd love to see a pistol be 1200 range since it would be magic bullets. No need for bullet decay as they are magic!I also severely dislike bows, but that's just my bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Saulot.4851 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Longbow as an arcane archer would be cool. Maybe mantras as the utility to look like old fashioned spellecadting. I'm not so sure what to say or do about attunements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor.6392 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Greatsword is the only answer. It would be redundant to get shortbow, axe, shield and hammer because of conjures, and I don't think ANET will dare to give us yet another 1 handed weapon.

Having to constantly monitor how much time you have left with it and having to pick up that second drop before time runs out makes it more of a chore and limitation than a pleasure.

Players also like to use a certain type of weapon because of how they connect to it personally or how it's part of their character's design. "Metas" aren't the defining way to enjoy GW 2 fortunately.

Arheundel.6451 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Oh boy...people in 2-3 years time will play a super glass glass glassiest melee greatsword ele with 3/4s casting time AA doing 300 dmg using a zerker amulet and aoe skill with 140 radius...Calling it now! but who care ?!

Dreams.3128 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 They treat us like spellslinging thieves, might as well strap on the full package.Give me a shortbow to teleport and kite the fuck outta bosses, and players alike.

A Hammer Elementalist ^-^ I would love this, it would fit my Earth Elementalist perfectly. But I don't think we'll get Hammer, since it's already used as a conjured weapon.

Crey.5263 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 @"Fluid.2679" said:Everyone seems to forget that the Mace exists, lol. Though GS and Longbow sound great too, I wouldn't mind a Mace.I think it'd be cool if a new elite spec gave us a fifth element to attune to. Arcane being the most obvious (such a spec would obviously be called Arcanist), but could also be something more unusual like Crystal (seeing as Kralkatorrik will be very central to the story for quite a while, and maybe after we deal with him Elementalists learn to use his "element"). At first I thought this would mean too many new skills, but then I realized this would only bring 15 + 10/15/25 (depending on the new weapon) new weapon skills, and weaver had 36, so might still be possible.So Yeah, a Mace with Arcane/Crystal skills seems dope to me.I'm still holding on to the dream that Dervish will come back (PoF would have been the perfect instance)...and Ele could host the dervish because each of the elementalist traits in GW1 was associated with a God: Fire-> Balthazar, Water (Ice)-> Grenth, Air -> Dwayna, Earth -> Melandru, Energy Storage -> Lyssa. Of course lore wise, now dervishes would not forsake Kormir; these could be the utility skills. I know that Lore aficionados will say that only humans would be dervishes because of the ties to the human gods, char would never accept this spec...However, at this point humans have definitive proof that their Gods are real and for a char to continue to believe that the human gods aren't real is willful ignorance...However, I say all of this because I feel like if they were to give the spec a 5th attunement then they couldn't give the spec a new weapon because every weapon would be gaining a set of skills.

Haco.1546 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I would love to see a Elementalist using long bow with elemental traps and even elemental pets. In a future expansion I would like a Elementalist with Mace focused on weapon elementals and elemental spirits like the Renegade. And Axe as a kind of shaman and elemental totenses.

Bunny.9834 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Someone already mentioned this but I like the idea of having an F5 for a combined all elements skill BUT with a twist. Elite: ObliteratorWeapon: GreatswordMechanic: F5 Merge ElementsTemporary disables all your 4 elements.All four elements are represented in your current weapon and the skill 5 is the combination of all four. ex: Greatsword 1. Fire Autoattack with Burning, 2. Water cleanses and heals 3. Air CCs 4. Earth provides defense 5. Apocalypse - combine all elements and create a vortex on target area that will do damage, healing, vulnerability, and knockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
