Both right at the same time, warrior will throw his pistols, but only at melee range (130)... the weapon skin unlocked by the specializazion will be a banana. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie.8657 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I believe she's holding a Sword. and pointing a Dagger towards us. Would be cool if it was a shortbow though. I really like both ideas. I don't think it will be a Spear. If they added the Spear as a main hand on the land. Surely most classes would be getting aquatic weapons for their next specialization.

Looks like a classic Chinese short spear. This was my first thought also. It's called Qiang and they can be short enough to be held with one hand. Could it be a new skill? I'm thinking in terms of elementalist summoned weapons, like a phantasmal javelin skill for the mesmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love a new set of land weapons for everyone but I think our biggest feature will be playable tengu with weapons staying the same. Could see warriors getting staves imitating spears though.

Tungsten Monarch.6058 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I sincerely hope it's a spear. I honestly believe ANet has undermined the professions by withholding spear speargun and trident skills from use outside of water. The skills for these weapons would work great above ground. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know what the actual name of the spear was. It just seems like such a natural fit for Cantha as well. Time for pole arms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they wouldnt. many weapons have this "trail" thingy that is akward and useless outside water. and even more have skills with no ground targetting and verticality problems. could they be reworked? sure, and if Anet wanted to pull a fast one, reworking them would be much much easier for them than creating entirely new weapons. but pretty much none of the aquatic weapons would work "as is" in land Edited July 12, 2021 by Konrad Curze.5130 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steez.6503 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 120% it’s not a spear, you really think they will make a whole new weapon set for maybe less than half of new specs to use, and to the fact they stopped making spear skins for a while now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quench.7091 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 My guess is that it's a dagger with an additional blade as the pommel. The end of the weapon doesn't look like it's going straight, but rather going inward as if to form a pointed tip of a blade. A focus could be in the offhand, which would explain the hand posture.

hash.8462 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Hmm, I was checking the images of the old elite specs on the wiki and noticed that the only weapon shown is always the new added one... So, unless they have changed methodology, the one shown is the new one. If this one is a mesmer that means that the weapon is a Dagger, a Spear or a Bow, I don't think it can be anything else.

Even if you follow that logic, why keep saying spear? Did HoT add any underwater weapons to elites above land? No, just already existing land weapons. Did PoF add any underwater weapons to elites above land? No, just already existing land weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having an extra large symmetrical dagger in the right hand and a vague impression of someone pointing with the right despite not being able to make out any fingers in the right hand makes way more sense. Nevermind the fact that if it is a Mesmer, they’ve already gotten a main hand and an offhand with previous elite specs. What is “illusionary blades?” I get that you’re offended by the fact that I’m committed to the fact that it’s a bow because you’ve determined it’s a dagger but we can revisit this in a month when they announce specs and I’m right. 😁 As to whether it’s a Mesmer or ele, we don’t really know. We assume Mesmer because of the coloring but that could be a red herring. And no, I’d prefer a spear or trident. I’m just calling it like it is. Sooo, who was calling it like it is? 😁 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashantara.8731 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 @Bast.7253, told you so: On 7/10/2021 at 11:18 AM, Ashantara.8731 said: Of course you can't - it's a silhouette! If she is pointing, the fingers are in line with her arm, hence no fingers visible in the silhouette. D'uh! No one draws an arrow from their quiver without raising their elbow, so it was crystal clear that she was pointing at us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still would have worked. Sorry you don’t have the imagination to see it. But grats on being right! Hoping that dagger model is in game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
