subject: Guild Wars 2: new information on weapons [print this page] The first part tells us no surprise that there will be three types of weapons:
the one-handed weapons (axes, swords, masses ... gun!)
the two-handed weapons (bows, clubs, military rifle ..)
hand weapons only secondary (shield torch, focus ...)
It is neither more nor less than what is known in Guild Wars, but it will be noted firearms probably brought on by the race of Asuras who - much like gnomes - are so small they are clever with technology.
The second part deals with the first five skills that will always be defined by the weapon that the character held hands. The importance of this system lies in the fact that the player can use the famous environmental weapons (the weapons found around you, like a catapult, which has dragged there by chance). If he decides to use a weapon available in the environment, these five skills to become change - for example - five competencies related to the catapult.
Indeed, these skills may vary according to occupation of the character. For example, an Elementalist can use his art to delight the firing of the catapult and make shots close to the meteor shower.
Finally, these weapons can also be environmental action from the characters. By destroying a wooden object, for example, we may use planks and sticks as weapons environment.
On another matter, Eric Fannum announced that there will be eight professions in Guild Wars 2 Gold.There will be both known professions in Guild Wars 1, and some novelties.
Disappointing, perhaps, for certain: there will be a secondary occupation. According to the Lead Designer, they were implemented in early versions of Guild Wars 2, but it proved to be very compatible with the new customizations related strains and mechanics specific to each profession.
However, the skills of each profession can be combined together. For example, a warrior pulling a ball through a static field Elementalist his bullets will become electrically charged and cause corresponding damage.
In terms of skills, it is recalled that the races will have special features, and even elite skills.
In total, the player can have - it seems - ten skills.
