Guild Wars 2

I’ve been trying to find a staff that would have cool particle effects like some greatswords for example, but only the legendary staff seems to have something flashy ^^ Seems like every other weapon but staff has some non legendary skins that are good looking

I agree, not too many cool looking staffs.

The ebonhawk staff you buy from the ebonhawk vendor is pretty nice looking, I also like the HoM staff skin, that has some nice particle effects.

Yeah I am using the ebonhawk staff aswell, but something looking like volcanus or those weapons of the mists would be great ^^

I like the pirate one you can buy from the ghost at the end of the goonies-style jumping puzzle in Lion’s Arch.

I actually just noticed what the priory weapons look like. I forgot about them when I first joined cause I wasn’t 80, but went back to look and SA-WEET! they’re all like floating tablets of crumbling archaeology with a handle. staff is similar.

in direct regards to OP though, no, haven’t found too many. and I hate that like 70% of the random staves out there, no matter the quality, are the twisted wood with crystal look… all the other ‘mundane’ weapon types at least have some variety…

Yea, I’ve seen/heard about so many epic greatswords but the staves looks are just decent. Didn’t see/hear about a staff with nice particles yet.

Yes, theyre lacking, to say the least

Sorry, only great swords are allowed to have particle effects.

My thoughts exactly. Mystic staff has a little lightning…whoopdeedoo

I crafted the corrupted staff (corrupted branch), and well yeah, it has some “particle effects” (a tiny blue thing on the top of the staff, only that, the rest is like a frozen piece of wood)
Dont get me wrong, I sill like it I guess its decent (not worth the price), but then my friend crafted the corrupted greatsword, and well, you can guess the rest …it looks awesome, so much better than the staff

Best staves = Deathwish and Final Rest, who gives a kitten about particle effects when you can either be a Jade Brootherhood Elite or a god kitten DERVISH!

Both Deathwish and Final Rest don’t match with my character and looks. I like Final Rest but it’s not as awesome as say Volcanus greatsword.

I am also looking for a nice staff, haven’t found one so far- I am still on the glyphic staff that I have been transmuting forever.
I use a GS too and I feel a little unbalanced, since my GS is awesome
I don’t care too much about particle effects since my current GS doesn’t have any but I do like an elegant look.

Ghastly staff at night? Otherwise I suppose the mystic staff has a few lightning particle effects.

It’s obvious though that martial weapons, especially greatswords got the most attention. Just look at the legendaries, there are three greatswords and one of everything else.

I really like the “Modnir” staff skin… Acquired for Karma in the Harathi hinterlands

I like that one too
it is still sitting in my bank along with an armourskin that suits it nicely.

I am currently using the Modniir skin, but it is a low level skin and not as great looking as the rare level80 exotic skins that greatswords have.

I dislike many of the staff skins in this game. They almost universally don’t fit with my Mesmer.

Yeah, the Ebonhawke staff is really nice, but it’s the only cool looking staff I’ve seen in this game. Like why can’t there be elemental versions for staves. Like a staff in a lightning theme, a fire theme, water, earth, chaos (mesmer) en darkness (necromancer).

The best looking staves IMO are death related or close to that, so for a necro they are fine. They don’t match a mesmer or ele though, and definitely not a guardian support build.

I wish we could get the Foefire skins on a staff or even the Mist one ( sorry can’t remember it’s name 0-0, it is sort of a phantom purple ) it would be awesome.
Sadly the best one I have seen is Bifrost and that is just too much effort for what it is.
Staff skins definitely need some love- I keep hoping there are loads that just haven’t been discovered yet.

These are the exact two I would love to see, for my Mesmer and Guardian.

I’m quite fond of the Peacemaker Staff from the Asuran Cultural weapon vendor. Has pretty cool purple electricity and smoke effect.

Agreed. Really disappointed with how this game has done staff compared to other games. Staff are usually as awesome as greatsword, come on they are the largest weapons in the game, or should be. gw2 feels very warrior-centric.

Where is the staff with skulls dripping off it?
Where is the staff with a giant butterfly/butterflies on it?
Where is the one with a semi-naked mermaid/angel on it?

The dungeon ones especially are very sad-looking.

:O how can i get that scythe like staff in the link?
I heard its called gargoyle staff or something like that and there is a PvE version of it….

@ LordByron- yes it is the gargoyle scythe http://www.gw2db.com/items/54402-gargoyle-scythe – no idea how to get it but it says bind on aquire so it sounds lke it might be a drop or reward?
Some of those are actually not that bad- just a pity there are no names
butterflies? mermaid angels?
did I miss them on there?
I would love that!

Only about 5 I find sort of cool which is a shame because my main wields a staff most of the time. I don’t think any of those but 3 have any animations and they are very mild compared to mainly Greatswords.

Dissapointed by the look of staffs anyway, I’ve seen indie games do much better with the looks of them.

@ LordByron – It’s called Final Rest in PvE. Only clue we have is that it can’t be crafted, but it drops from a LARGE CHEST. No one has confirmed which chest and people that say they have it either pretend, or have given false information on it. At the moment it’s pretty rare. It’s cool looking I admit, but no where as cool as other weapons in the game. Either way this will be my main staff for my necro because nothing else fits him better.

:( well i’ll take an eye on the TP then….

Is it rare or exotic?

It’s exotic (15 char)

Anyone have any idea what staff this is? https://i.minus.com/j2QdmxBVT16Vy.jpg
