ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Martial Artist

I think it needs a nerf, especially in Energy. I mean, 135? That's too much! --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:85.73.155.198 (talk).

What would you suggest? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:75.133.82.117 (talk).
 * Guild wars has it's damage dealing melee professions. Why bother making another? Only reasonable thing would be to increase the warrior's weapon arsenal to two-handed lances.Borotvaltgandalf 14:06, 3 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I'd love to see an unarmed master, but at the moment that's really the only thing unique about it. What about much lower damage than other weapons, but far superior weapon powers? Also I'd like to get a feel for what you're trying to make, is it like a martial artist monk? ninja? bruce lee type? All of the above? With the shadow-stepping I can see a ninja-esque, which the assassin already fills the role of. And with the shouts I'm not sure what the idea is. I'd recommend making very crappy damage, possibly a negative deduction vs high armor, like negative armor piercing, but highly disabling attack skills like daze, cripple, stun (if they made it in gw2), debuffs, things like that. Would fill a nice niche in GW. Shadowlance194 22:39, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

- yea, I'm the guy that wrote this. I was trying to add all the things above there into one profession (Ninja, martial artist monk, bruce lee type), so you have a lot of choice. I like the idea of having no damage (or giving health) and giving conditions and other stuff like that. The problem would be no one would play as one because it would not be able to solo anything. Also, I don't think they are putting assassin into Guild Wars 2, so thats why I wanted to give it shadowstepping. And with shouts, I don't even know what I was thinking, i just added it... well, not signed in, but... -Lord Snealon 75.133.82.117 01:42, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

I could see this tieing in with items you could drop right before battle leaving you open handed... 192.203.160.241 19:02, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Anarchy Online This is an MMO which has it's own MA class. It's good in that way, because it's a game which can fit in a class like that. GW already has the Dervish, Assassin, Warrior and (in a pinch) the elementalist to deal out large amounts of damage.

Oh, and if I remember correctly, AO has about 12 professions, so there is less customization of each individual character, but an opportunity for an account holder to have many, many toons. Rolain1 12:11, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Sounds lame. Maybe a brawler that uses gauntlets or something like that, but not this.Megadethbaka 01:26, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I never said anything about guantlets... Lord Snealon 68.113.150.31 03:17, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

I think gauntlets could b cool too! I don't say it's the perfect profession, it needs alot of nerfs, but it could b really cool! --Exikor 15:00, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
