Jack Skywalker.5674 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If warrior ever received a staff as an elite spec weapon, how do you guys think that weapon would turn out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juba.8406 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 TBH Staff suits Warrior better than Torch and Dagger. Anet also should start rethinking the use of underwater weapons for land combat. A Spear would be a great choice for Warrior spec "Sunspear".

Crossaber.8934 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If staff made it to warrior elite spec, i wish it is a 2H melee weapon that with build in defensive skill, the elite specialisation weapon should look like a giant axe...

I also hope to see Staff as a melee 2h weapon,however I fear that all the good animations went to Revenant's staff and if I see on the staff auto, windy,clichee short staff moves like with daredevil I will be seriously pissed (in my opinion daredevil staff auto has the worst animations ever).

Mara.6782 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Warrior with staff reminds me of guild wars 1 wammo build. So maybe next elite spec would be support warrior with staff. https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Wammo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasdamas Anklast.1607 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Bet it would turn out as some support because there are no viable builds for war as a support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSlothArmada.6709 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 If they added staff, it'd be perfect since they could just reuse thief animations again :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see it as a support, utility weapon with mid range. Functionally, I'd like to see it turn out similar to banners and provide healing, protection, and cleansing to groups. We have more than enough melee weapons already, give us anything else other than more melee, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikeskies.1536 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I don't think Warrior will be getting Staff anytime soon (although it would be cool). Staff on Warrior fits the Monk theme, which Spellbreaker already embodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Haired Savage.5430 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 They call me little John. A toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll, and if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff on Warrior fits the Monk theme, which Spellbreaker already embodies. I could see it. We've gotten daggers, torch... both melee. I think it will be a main hand, or a 2h. I also think it will be ranged around 900. So my guess is either pistol MH, or staff. I think it will be a support or utility weapon since we have so few, so I think it will be a staff. Just my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my guess. If we got pistol we'd prolly get dual pistol because its one we can dual wield. I'm hoping that we get above ground spear for throwing and become paragons and they make either chants or echos into mantras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it will be off-hand pistol with a Bandit theme, using either Axe or Sword in mainhand for power or condition DPS build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Haired Savage.5430 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 You know what would be kinda neat although I'm not 100% sure on how they could even accomplish this, but if they gave us something that re-gives us a weapon (say daggers) but its skills change based on what elite spec we're running. So if we're running SB we get what we have now but if we do this other elite spec our dagger skills change to what it gives us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plate armour and dual pistols are not something I look forward to. > @Mikeskies.1536 said: > I don't think Warrior will be getting Staff anytime soon (although it would be cool).

EdwinLi.1284 Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 With recent Staff skins adding into the Spear appearance, I expect the Warrior to treat Staff as a Spear like weapon. I would not be suprised if the Staff Elite Spec may allow Warriors to throw the Staff like a spear and their Elite Spec Weapon skin is a Spear skin. We are even seeing new Spear skins for Staff in the upcoming contents such as Sunspear Staff skin and Dark Spear Staff Skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest here. Not a single person in game really uses underwater skills on a daily basis for besides movement skills which can be nullified by using a mount now. Let's voice our opinion regarding allowing spears for terrain combat. Spears are a great weapon and we could really use another 2 handed weapon.

Jack Skywalker.5674 Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 +1 for Spears being used for terrain combat. Kodan staff is my favorite pseudo spear in game. My revenant could not be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry.5713 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 The way I feel: Spear > Greataxe (one can only dream) > other possible new weapons > Staff > another terrible off-hand weapon Good point about the wasted potential of the already existing spear skills. Sounds almost too easy to reuse the spear as a new warrior land weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
