Sifu.9745 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 99% of staves in this game looks like wizard's staves. There are only 2 or 3 exceptions. That's kind of weird, because we have two professions that use staff as a melee weapon: Revenant and Daredevil. Can we get more staff skins that looks like a melee staff (something like Daredevil's base staff skin) or at least looks more like a spear? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donari.5237 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Seconded! My daredevil is plenty happy with his metal clad bo stick but variations would be nice. They can be fancy, have interesting end pieces, they just need to be symmetric (ie both ends the same or maybe a bashing end and a slashing end) and have end pieces that look like something you'd use to bash or cut without worrying about breaking your pretty arcane focus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 You might want to use https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gallery_of_staves to see if anything fits your liking. Currently using Dominator staff on my revenant , but I considered using Shiny Staff and Bo Staff as well. There's a few which don't have the symmetry you seek which appear more as though they were fit for polearms or scythes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fueki.4753 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 There Are plenty of Staves that look decent for hitting people.Adamant Guard Staffthe Charr Legion StavesBoCandy Cane StaffDaredeveil's StaffDarkspearAnd that's just a few, but there definitely are more than three staves that look fine for hitting people.There even are Staves that look like Spears, in case Warrior gets a two-handed landspear elite specialization with with End of Dragons.

Doggie.3184 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Dreamwalker Scythe is my current favorite so I can be MTSC Thief but I wish when they'd make melee staves like such they'd at least rotate it on Thief/Revenant with certain animations so you actually swing the bladed part properly instead of sideways like the Thief 1 does.

Sylvyn.4750 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 This one is kinda cool, a polearm with a long blade on one end and spike on the other, but yeah, there are only a few that look like a polearm compared to all the other wizardly ones: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Lightward%27s_Battlestaff.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greyhawk.9107 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 There are a lot more melee skinned staves than you think, OP. Somewhere between ten and fifteen different skins. That said I myself am not against adding a few more good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yggranya.5201 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I don't even care much what they look like as long as they are symmetrical. Why most designers of weapons/armors for games love asymmetry so much is beyond me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antycypator.9874 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Nobody mentioned Forged Staff — great for fire-themed character (it also has a Fire effect). Still one of my favorite staffs skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still one of my favorite staffs skins.My DD is using that one, and it indeed looks great - not only as a skin, but with DD animations as well.A staff skin does not need to be symmetrical to be good for melee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works? Yeah, works in the sense that you can kill a massive dragon as an Asura by stabbing it really hard multiple times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gombie.3860 Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 More polearms would be nice. My favourite weapon for my thief is the lightward battlestaff. Makes you feel like something out of a Kung Fu movie. Love to see more Asian style polearms/spears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munz.6513 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Finally found this topic, just created thief trying out Daredevil, as soon as i get Daredevil master all point, i found out the way they holding stick, kind like kids holding a broom stick, using 2 hand, 1st time playing staff class, it would be more cool if Anet re-animation so call ? holding stick while running or standing just using 1 hard holding 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
