Guild Wars 2

As I stand in Divinity’s Reach, looking at female casters holding their staff in a way that screams sage wisdom, I stare longingly… then my gaze returns to my own male caster, who stands with his staff as if he setting himself up for a 20m dash. Nothing about how the male caster holds his weapon says “intellect” or “wisdom”, but more like “HULK SMASH!”.

It’s sad, because my caster characters do actually have staves worth looking at. it’s just that they need to be saves worth looking at on their back, because holding it in their hands looks quite silly in town.

This got me thinking… what if something came out to customize how we stand? Wouldn’t that be amazing? I’d even be willing to buy them off the gem store, just as long as they saved me from looking at my overtense and very out of place elementalist in DR.

EDIT As pointed out below, I forgot to specify that this refers to human males. Sorry!

Good idea. And they already have content they can sell immediately: those idle animations that they deleted from female humans. Maybe this has been their plan all along?

I don’t know about you but my male staff user will sometimes twirl his staff above his head

He isn’t talking about asura. He means human males.

If you are referring to Human males, I agree.

The Norn (both male and female) staff stances are great.

You are quite correct! Sorry, I forgot to specify that. I am indeed talking about human males.

I don’t mind much other races, but for charr I see it as a must.

While holding a staff, charr should use it as a support to stand tall and straight .

I’d love to see my female Mesmer carrying GS like males. Dragging a weapon like it’s some heavy bag is ridiculous.

More customization is always welcome. Any and all choice is wonderful, because we all have the right to be who we want to be and play who we want to play.

Walk, voice, stance, all things that could be implemented. Not before HoT mind you, but definitely a fan favourite if they did.
