  If the wizard's implements remain true to 4E, expect to see wands, orbs and staves as weapons for them. I also wouldn't be surprised to see handaxes and maces in addition to the longswords for the guardian. I would, however, be surprised to see anything other than daggers for rogues, except maybe a short sword here and there, as rogues only have proficiency with daggers and short swords as melee weapons outside taking feats for stuff like rapiers.

  I was digging around and found reports of a rogue Axe that was found in beta.
  
  Also found a message from a mod saying weapon variety will increase on release. Whew... I hope for some rogue rapiers!

  My guess is that these different types are just display skins, and not really different types in the usual sense. I doubt there will weapon "base stats" like there are in PnP D&D.
  
  The upshot would be that you might be able to take that Greatclub or Greataxe, and put its appearance skin on any Greatsword you find that might suit you better mechanically.
  
  As for wizard implements, my guess is we won't get wands or staves in the same way, since they'd need their own animations to make any sense. There's a lot more difference between an orb, wand, and staff than there is among those two-handed weapons.

  I did find a one-handed axe for my guardian, BUT it wouldn't let me use the appearance from it on any of the swords, sadly.
