Azhkanizkael.1406 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 ANet, please.This is not how you hold a sword - unless it's a hand-and-a-half sword.Sure you could argue that this sword is a hand-and-a-half sword, but then I'd expect a 50+ range increase because of the reasoning for wielding a sword in this manner.

MrRay.3027 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I don't get it. What wrong with how the sword is held? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor.6392 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 hand is supposed to be closer to the blade part I assume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRay.3027 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Maybe it's just the Warpblade? Cause my eli has a war god's sword and it's held by the middle of the hilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changes some of the slashing attks to more stabbing i think would make a 1h spear looking sword work great on this class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain.9213 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yeah I was really excited when I found out Warpblade was our Elite Spec weapon then immediately disappointed when I previewed it and saw the Ele holding it by the freakin pommel. Come on, Anet! All you gotta do is change the weapon model to be a little lower and bam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnhalbertsma.7682 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Felt like the Weaver's sword attacks looked and played as if they were something like a rapier/whip, so that could be the reason why it's held like that. I wouldn't mind an update though, it just looks a bit 'eh' when held by the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRay.3027 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 At least the off-hand dagger isn't completely inserted in your dress-pants when it's unsheathed, like it is on my mail sylvari. Posted in that bug thread, but I doubt it will be fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as if they never ever actually tested an Elementalist wearing a robe and dagger, because mine disappears for 80% of the length whenever it's being held.
