Skotlex.7580 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Me? I just feel that's the right thing to do. Battle over, no need to run around with drawn weapons. however, I've made such an habit of this that I regularly kill a foe, stow, then immediately use a leap skill towards a nearby target. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzle Hint.1820 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 because it makes me look like a pro even though i am garbagealso stowing + standing still during fight like above posters said makes me look super pro like i've won WC several times even tho i am garbage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigpapasmurf.5623 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Only rookies stow their weapons. Real winners /sit by their spoils and wait for their return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I don't. in fact, as soon as i'm visible, I start swinging my weapons like a madman to let them know I see them and i'm coming for em. to really rustle their jimmies I use both dodges and my heal, just to point out i'm not afraid of anyone and that i'm super tough.

alain.1659 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I do it as a sign of respect after a really good duel with my opponent. I tend to bow afterwards too. Dojo discipline I guess. Never thought it as an insult until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I... think not for the whole length though. Can't quite remember, can't test ist right now. With Bound you just jump a little higher. It looks awesome!^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aylpse.6280 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 You move faster with your weapons stowed last I checked. Hell there are times where I am kiting on Necro I try to stow after a cast mid combat. I don't mean any BM ever, at least not seriously or out of malice. I do apologize to anyone who thinks I have jumped on their corpse. I have a bad habit of bunny hopping in every single game, even to my own detriment and there are times I forget.

MrForz.1953 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 The lines are blurry between noble and hypocrite and outright bad-mannering. Stowing weapons is something I've done out of habit from frequent kit switching since the beginning of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllNightPlayer.1286 Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I draw weapons before and stow them after a fight (or if I am trying to retreat)—always!I do not really know, why I do so. Maybe it is a habit from other games. But for me it is mainly for aesthetics. And I love the different running animations per race and gender of GW2 :heart: (Except for the still broken running animation on Human females :disappointed: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubZero.4319 Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I have to have my hands free to fist bump my buddies after ganking da baddies. x) Sorry, I know it's borderline archaeo-posting hehe but I can't believe I "missed" this thread when it was originally posted. I thought I was the only one who sheathed my weapon after each encounter, either for RP reasons (have always been into RP) or because I have OCD, I can't decide which. =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
