Guild Wars 2

The focus has no animations for any profession, often your character is holding
this weird object in an awkward manner, it would be nice if we could have an option
to hide the focus, so it seems as if the character is just holding a sword or axe or
scepter.

I don’t know much about coding for a game like this, but it should be possible to
allow an offhand hide checkbox if the character is holding a focus.

People in PvP and WvW want to be able to see your weapons so they know what skills you have.

if he means having the hide button JUST for focus then people in pvp and wvw would know if they are holding a focus if it was hidden

Check out Glint’s Scale (Level 80 Exotic) at the Trading Post. I got it specifically because it is small and not obnoxious. (Sorry… can’t do anything about the purple). I don’t know how small and unnoticeable it is for races other than my Asura. You can always transmute its skin over any other focus if you don’t care for the stats. Cost is comparable with most other “normal” level 80 Exotics.

I would like to see the position and even the way you hold it change for some. I have Adam on my Necro and it looks rediculous. It’s a tiny tiny skull that looks like it’s on the end of a stick because she isn’t holding it like the ball that it is. It’s very disappointing.

It would be better if they changed the focus to a bracer, something is that wrapped
around the left lower arm, but that’d require too much changes I guess.

The only option I can see is to just put in a hide function for the focus. The only of
the focuses that aren’t huge weird constructs, have weird colors like pink or bright
blue.

I really do hope the devs consider a hide option.. I like my guardian with sword/focus,
but the focus part just is not very cool looking. I’d take a shield instead, but shield skills
just aren’t very good imo.
