Guild Wars 2

So, being an immense fan of Antiquity, Greeks and Hoplites. Why do we get thrown spears underwater? Why couldn’t we get them above the water? Now you could call a new type of weapon called Javelin and have them thrown or simply make the Spears useful both underwater and on the ground. Especially when we had that in GW1 with the Paragons(favorite class of all time for me) but we got the more traditional “paladin-esque” class : The Guardian (which I am fine with do not get me wrong). Why isn’t there more spears/javelin in games nowadays, I mean, you can’t get much more kitten than this…

The only thrown spear is the guardian’s, it’s a melee weapon for the other five professions that use it.

They were going to include polearms at some point, iirc, but they didn’t make it into the final game.

I would call it a Lance for above water spear like weapons

This has been asked for by multiple people and I’m in full agreement. Let me spear people outside of the water!
