With the Introduction of the newish Sunspear/Kurz/Luxon Skills I think it would be a good idea if weapons could be obtained which are linked to the title, in order to make them more effective.

I understand that some skills are considered to be unbalanced already, and that this would most likely exacerbate the problem. That is up to the devs to decide.

It would be nice to have weapons with 20/20 or +1 in order to encourage the use of the skills. I'm not sure how the req of the weapon would operate, given that the typical req of 9 is far too high when considering the title tracks. Possibly a req of 1 or no req at all since a title is needed to obtain the skills in the first place. This could cause problems with melee classes though, and is probably the trickiest part of its implementation. One solution would be to link them to a primary attribute.

The weapons could be obtained as a quest reward or something similar, or from a collector or weaponsmith. I dont know if other players feel the same way, but I guess thats why we have these forums, now isnt it?

If by making the weapon more effective you mean only lowering the requirement, I don't see the point in it.

Isn't that what has been done with weapons from the prerelease packs? Maybe not precisely for the skills but definitely tailored to the strengths of the professions. Part of the fun of the game is getting hold of and experimenting with the weapons / foci that suit you best. Who would decide which weapons suit the skills and then would they mesh well with the requirements of other skills?

I think instead of +skill weapon, why not obtain perfect weapons (customized, cannot be salvaged) based on your rank, so that you don't have to spend extra money just to equip your heroes with perfect green/gold weapons.

Weapons linked to titles?

They would be PvE only, then.
