the primary reason i can tell they dont have mythic weapons, is that any 2h weapon would have to count as 2 slots, so you would be losing an extra slot in your build (current mythics give you 11 slots to work with, a 2h mythic weapon would only give you 10 on that one bar)

there is also the other thing about barswapping, would you be able to put a different mythic weapon on each bar? as neither are active at the same time? these questions raise issues about the power budget of a mythic and the technical ability of being able to slot one on each bar, just having 1 equipped on 1 bar could be the only thing allowed

while it would be nice if they had mythic weapons for more options or unique looks, its unlikely that we will see them anytime soon

I don't think it's really a bad idea, but consider that both mythics and arena weapons are both currently rather meta defining gear. In order for me to consider using a mythic weapon, it would have to be as strong as sacrificing both the effect from an arena weapon and another body/jewelry mythic, which would be a high bar to balance. If in that case you still want an arena weapon on the other bar, you're pretty much locked into 5/5, or 5/3/2 body sets. Honestly I'd be pretty ok with just having more arena/ability altering weapons addedd

They could instead apply the idea of arena weapons more broadly. Like add new arena weapons that aren't necessarily tied to weapon skills

For instance, Class Sets which apply some new effect to Class skills in a particular Class skill line.

I think a Mythic weapon would be like an ability-altering set, except you could only use it on one bar. Perhaps that means it could have a stronger effect, but really almost every ability-altering weapon isn't used on both bars anyway.

It could also give you bonuses to light and heavy attacks and passives instead of skills. It could be a cool idea.
