DreamyAbaddon.3265 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I mean it totally makes sense if you think about it... An assassin uses deception to get away with murder. Hitman games your objective is to blend in and kill. Cantha is going to have lots of politics... Mesmer Daggers = Assassin...

Salt Mode.3780 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I mean a spear is kinda over reaching, as I recall they stopped making gen 2 legendaries for "underwater." As far as assassins go, GW1 assassins are patrons to Lyssa so it would make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If u look at the hilt of the "dagger" its WAAAY longer rthen any other hilt.. and it also has no immediate Sense theres also a tumour looking thing on the otherside of her Arm which we cant identify currently. but i'd agree its very unlikely. to the OP.. i think thief will get assassin. and if its Dagger its 1 dagger not 2. I think mesmers will get hexs. in some shape or form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Mode.3780 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 i dont see why it couldnt be 2 daggers considering mesmers lack a whole new weapon set of skills, from the past we had shield which was offhand and an axe which was mainhand. Honestly its due for a whole new weapon skill set. Spellbreakers had 2 daggers as a whole new skill set so its not over reaching that mesmers will have double daggers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phokus.8934 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 It’s overreaching because there’s no precedent or prelude to say that we are getting new terrestrial weapon types. The simplest conclusion is it’s a dagger or short bow just wielded in a silhouette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spellbreaker got 2 weapons because warrior as a "weapons master" is lore wise considered to have to wield every dual wield able weapon it can wield in both hands. Mesmers don't share that fantasy nor does any other class. Hence why they won't get the same thing. I don't think it's comparable realistically. Sadly your just reliesing why people are hoping it's spear. What it could be. (Now this is reaching far) Ur mainhand Dagger. It's new mechanic is illusionary weapons.. instead of shatters you get illusion weapons on F1-4. You summon your offhand weapon. Now it won't happen. Because I doubt gw2 engine could make this work. But it'd be a cool idea. So itd work almost like elementalist attunements but instead of elements it'd be illusionary weapon types. But only for Ur 3 4 and 5 effectively.

anduriell.6280 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 It looks like an spear with illusionary weapons. I am afraid the illusionary weapons will be a hit or miss based in how guardian's spirit weapons are currently working. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Mode.3780 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Again its not likely that spear is going to be a terrestrial weapon due to the fact that they haven't been working on underwater skins/legendary, this includes all black lion skins.

Save this comment and come back on 27th It's not even close to long enough to be a spear. If she was holding a spear that close to the blade, you would easily see it poking out behind her back.

Mik.3401 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 In GW lore Assassin is a medium class profession and separate profession to Mesmer. So I don’t think so, Eles and Necros can also fight with two daggers but there is nothing assassin-y about it If anyone gets an assassin spec that would be thief imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given that "armour classes" technically didn't exist in GW1 since all professions had unique armours and the defense values were nothing more than a lesser part of the balance, it wouldn't be weird for them to switch to light armour.

hatsamu.4327 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Wouldn't that be too close to Mirage? That was already a thief-style mesmer with the deception utility skills, and ambush skills being tweaked stealth-attacks. Flying swords are a common trope in xianxia, so I think they'll go in another direction and the daggers will be more for mid-range pew-pewing, like WildStar's Esper class.

Whilst it could make sense indeed I just don’t see GW1 assassins switching to summoning illusions and being Mesmers essentially. Because at the end, specialisation is just a cherry on top of the core Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daishi.6027 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Wasn't Mirage supposed to be the "thief-equse" elite spec? Getting deception skills, mobility, and the unique additions to evasion? Would be funny if mesmer cucked thief in this way. by the by an Assassin would be infinitely cooler. I don't get why so many of the suggestions for new elite specs are so inclined towards things like support specs and bards; when so much support (including tanking) is offered from Chrono.

Tbh bard is a common screech for in every game. It seems to be one of those classes everyone wants. But given the nature of gw2 there's no new classes. People are looking at ways to ask for it 🤣 I don't think we will get dual daggers tbh either tho I think that's just gonna be mainhand Dagger. It could prove me wrong. But I just ain't believing it as of current. Mesmer back in the creation of core gw2 was susposed to have dagger and then necro was susposed to have Greatsword. So they did create something for daggers early on... So we will wait and see I guess 27th will tell us. Edited July 7, 2021 by Daddy.8125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeceiverX.8361 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Honestly probably a double-ended dagger skin. There are already a few in the game. I don't think they'll do spear, since that was the point of the Spellbreaker originally. They literally just use the spear heads as daggers lol. Probably will be called the ninja. The daggers above look to be Kunai-inspired. Likely some unique shatter skills featuring ammo-system throwing of summoned kunai, a shadowstep, and predominately high mobility.

Lincolnbeard.1735 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I really doubt any profession will get spear or other underwater weapons. I mean ANerf doesn't even release skins for that anymore. If a profession was to get spear or anything alike that profession would be rekt skinwise, choosing between trash and trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
