Charrbeque.8729 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I've been working on my revenant lately and the suntouched scythe skin works great with the staff animations. That's probably what they had in mind when designing the skin. Makes total sense. In GW1 the dervish profession was basically a heavy armor class (same class as warrior). In GW2 revenant is a heavy armor class, and probably the closest we'll ever get to an actual dervish profession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like pretending a scythe is a better and practical weapon compared to a Bo staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krypto.2069 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I feel your pain, OP! :disappointed: I would so love it if Anet came out with more equally weighted staves for DD and Rev. (There are a few out there like Bo, but not nearly enough imo.) And, heck, I'd really **L :love: VE** it if they released an equally weighted **LEGENDARY** Staff!!! Imagine that! :mrgreen: I'd make it in a heart-beat! :smiley: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warkind.6745 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Suntouched scythe should be a gathering tool, because realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilty.4906 Posted May 11, 2018 Author Share Posted May 11, 2018 If they changed the animation a little bit it could look as good as this [Dervish Attack]( "https://youtube.com/watch?v=KjQd6ldGudA") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman.6349 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Just do yourself a favor and use the Dominator skin. Got it instantly after seeing it long ago. It's the best. Animations look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game of Bones.8975 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 I use Lightward's Battlestaff. It has a classy martial arts look to it, a knife edge like a naginata to slice, and the semi-blunt end to bash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Dervish was medium (max=70) armour with bonus health, while Warrior was heavy (max=80). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
