Please change it to the way the female holds it; horizontal with the edge backwards. Or even better, make an option were we can choose between the two. Correct me if I’m wrong but I played a Human male Mesmer in the BWE events. And I could swear that they hold the sword horizontal back then.
I don’t know maybe it’s my imagination or wishful thinking.

Anyway thank you AreaNet your the best!

Please no.

I like how my human male warrior actually looks strong enough to hold the thing up in the air above his waist. The females seem like they’re struggling to carry it.

I agree. I prefer the way they hold it over Human males.

Well atleast you’re not a female engineer. They’ll shot everything from the hip, even the biggest sniper-rifles which have telescopes you could pierce the heavens with.

You do realize that all engineers shoot from the hip right? Their auto attack is called “Hip Shot.”

Please for the love all that is good no. The female stance is even worse than the already horrid male one. Nobody with sword training would handle a sword that way. It should be held in front at the middle guard.

Actually, that’s the Tail guard or “Posta de Coda Lunga”. It’s one of the primary guards in German and Italian longsword.

That’s why I like it more than the human “I can lumber that heavy thing around, barely” stance.

Tail guard is unsuited for pitched combat and a large sword. You have to fight gravity too much to bring it forward. Female stance is wrong for that as well because her weight is on the front leg and it should be on the back leg for that. You wouldn’t run with the blade held like that and it isn’t a good guard for combat with multiple enemies. It really should be held in Ox or Plough for that. Personally I’d prefer Ox but I have a feeling that people unlearned in swordsmanship would think it looks funny. I much prefer Ox over the other guards when using a two handed sword because the long blade can be utilized to moment arm the blade very fast downwards to block an attack whereas for the other guards you are moving the blade against gravity. As well as the fact that Tail guard is meant for longswords not so much a true two handed sword like a zwihander or claymore. Given the massive size of the two handed swords in game using the tail guard would put you at a disadvantage.

Destroy this thread. You will ruin one thing that makes human male likeable. Thanks.
