New Weapon Showcase - Ranger Dual Maces

“Become a Force of Nature with the Dual-Wielding Mace Ranger!”

The first shown weapon we get for Guild Wars 2 Secrets of the Obscure weapon expansion is the Ranges new dual-wielding maces!

It sounds like the maces will be filling the support role for Rangers and give a new buff called Nature’s Strength

Gaining enough stacks gives you Force of Nature increasing damage, healing and sustainability for the player

Here’s a look at a couple of the ranger’s mace skills:

Mace skill 2 is called Flourish, which damages enemies and heals allies simultaneously. Your strike causes the ground beneath you to swell with energy, and after a delay, the ground will burst. The burst deals heavier damage and heals more than the initial strike. If you hit an enemy with the initial strike, you’ll gain Nature’s Strength.

The off-hand mace is a more defensive weapon that enhances survivability while also providing some crowd control. Thistleguard (mace skill 4) is a defensive skill that rewards careful timing in the thick of combat. You cover yourself in bramble armor, gaining barrier and stability for a moment as thorns strike outward. Hitting an enemy with these thorns will increase the defensive components of this skill while also granting you Nature’s Strength.

You’ll be able to try out all of the upcoming new weapon and profession combos during the Expanded Weapon Proficiency beta event starting at 9 a.m. Pacific Time on November 28 and ending at 10 p.m. Pacific Time on December 3.
