Fox Reeveheart.1890 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Just saying... we been saying this for literally years now since even before the first expansion came out. The models already exist, so there is far less work for you to do, you can make it work, and being some sort of Imperial Guard sort of archetype would be nifty. Or heck, make us paragons and make them 1-handed throwing spears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by now everyone should know that you can’t generalize a group of people here on the forums when making a statement because then you get “we who?” Responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe the best kind of warrior? During his lifetime, the greatest blademaster fought over ten thousand times, in battle and single combat. He was defeated once. By a farmer with a quarterstaff! Remember that.” ― Robert Jordan, The Dragon Reborn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterstaff The oldest surviving English work giving technical information on staff combat dates from the 15th century – it is a brief listing of "strokes of the 2-hand staff", which shares terminology with the preceding "strokes of the 2-hand sword" in the same manuscript.[6] George Silver (1599) explains techniques of short-staff combat and states that the use of other polearms and the two-handed sword are based on the same method. Later authors on the subject included Joseph Swetnam, Zachary Wylde, and Donald McBane. Silver,[7] Swetnam,[5] and Wylde[8] all agreed that the staff was among the best, if not the very best, of all hand weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not a lot you can do with a staff that has not already been done in the game. Spear however :) (rembering Paragon from GW1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spear however :) (rembering Paragon from GW1) You can do the same thing with a staff as you can with a spear, One end is blunt and do crushing damage the other pointy so do piercing thats the only differance.

Psycoprophet.8107 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 All I know is spear is one of thee iconic warrior type weapons and it's crazy of all the weapons warrior can use a spear isn't among them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante.1763 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 More than likely they give a few classes staffs that functions as spears, hopefully both thrown and melee variants. Id be 100% okay with that, so long as i also get a Voltaic Spear Skin for land usage. Id pay for it too if it had some kinda vorpal effect visible...

Smoosh.2718 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I say this all the time, but I am really struggling to understand what the spear will give the warrior that the Hammer, Greatsword or Rifle doesnt already? For this very reason, I do not want it to be spear/staff as it wont change the weapon playstyle. I call for pistol! I already made HOPE ready for the next elite spec! So it must happen!

I already made HOPE ready for the next elite spec! So it must happen! I main engineer and I am **really** tempted to build the legendary mace Eureka, since it would fit an engineer so well (why do we have so many engineer themed mace skins if engineer can't wield them btw? damn it). But unfortunately, unlike the warrior, engineer has many different weapons left which could possibly get added for an elite spec. So I am not as confident to make this gamble....
