Spear in-combat idle animation

[CombineFiftyFour.1632]

Hi, ArenaNet.

Can you please consider changing default in-combat idle animation/pose/stance to something more logical?
We're not underwater anymore and this is a 2-handed weapon as per your design decision - please reflect it on the way our character wields it. To save resources, you can reuse Thief staff animation or just use the default staff animation even, it will be 10 times better than what you came up with at the moment.

Thanks.

... or, at the least, make it unique. Perhaps like on Paragon?

That would work perfectly if it was a 1-handed weapon - but I guess asking for a completely new animation and game design choice is way too much, so I just wanted to ask just for more logic and authenticity instead at the little to no cost of dev time.

Well, Asura carry their greatsword over their right shoulder, so... 😄

I agree, the idle pose is a bit strange
