Phantom Class Discussion

[Batty]

well, i remember there was one time that Hero´s weapon was actually a single/shifting weapon because of the way all the 3 weapons shown were similar in appearance

I still believe that it must be Rod, since its an advanced class, not a normal one like summoner, and its supposed to have something from all 3 damage types.

it wouldnt be the first time something similar is done in a mmo; in GW2 before the first expansion came, staff weapons were used only by caster classes and were used as such, magic weapons, when Heart of Thorns came they gave the thief and revenant classes the ability to use staffs too, but as melee weapons

besides like it has allready been mentioned, unlike Talis, Rod does have both S and T attacks. it just look, well, extremely weird for some of the rods design to be used as melee weapon

Is it?

You saying "Daily reminder" doesnt make you look right,it makes you look like an ass.
I'm sticking with what i think it is, its definitely a partisan.
We have 1 all attack class already, that was the point of Hr, Phantom need not follow that same formula.

Me saying "daily reminder" is supposed to remind you of stuff you're not considering in your little theory, not to prove you wrong.

I definitely do not want it to be rod for one simple reason, techs on hero was useless (aside from the occasional self heal and self buff, if those heroes even did that). They were literally just an after-thought on hero.

Also, the scythe has a brandish or a dance-like animation after it's two PAs that were shown. Something that a partizan also does.

I seriously hope they'll just give a tiny bit of information regarding this during the upcoming ARKS Live so that Scythe would stop destroying virtual friendships.

but... you don't use Talis as a Tech weapon on Hero...

Aren't there more s weapons than others? Then some of them will have to use 2 s weapons.

There are 9 Striking weapons (including Gunslash), 4 Ranged Weapons, and 5 Tech Weapons (counting JBs and Takt here since their icons are yellow, though in function, JBs would fit more in the Striking group and Takt really should just be a category on its own). But you would think they would try to exhaust the pool of Ranged and Tech weapons before doubling up on Striking.

Also I doubt we will have more than 3 Adv. classes if the 10 year plan is any indication. EP6 & Phantom won't be out till Spring 2019, EP6 will likely be at least a year and few months long and then another few months break before EP7, which also be a year and a few months long. By the time EP7 ends it should be a few months till the 10 year plan is finished.

I throw my wild speculation in that it is a Double Saber! We already have so many camos that can make them look like swords and sabers, it isn't beyond the realm of possibility that the camo/14* in the video is doing the same thing!

It can not be a Double Saber for the same reason that it can not be a Wand, there is not enough space to grab the weapon

Spoiler!

How are you going to hold this for example?

Spoiler!

I think is a new weapon
