Legend:

X - main weapon

OH - offhand

Besides that, some characters have an additional offensive skills. For example, an engineer may use the flamethrower or grenades when thief gets new attacks combining different types of main weapons and offhands. What is more, the Guild Wars 2 offers a lot of so called environmental weapons, an equipment which you can pick up and use as a weapon. Those are both flame swords, ice bows, bazookas and the broken bottle, board or branch. Also various siege machines are included (trebuchets, cannons). During using those weapons, you get a whole new skill bar, where you don't have to learn the advanced attacks, because you know them at once. Such weapons may be more powerful than your normal one, but very often they have a limited number of uses.
