Guild Wars 2

Anet… Why… Why you do this?

Holding Kamas properly in GW1.

Holding Kamas like an edgy weeaboo noob who doesn’t know anything about martial arts.

I want to buy this skin but I can’t get over this dumb oversight… Am I the only one?

Inb4 “Psshh… I’m already a proud owner of the silly backwards kamas and I’ll uninstall the game if Anet changes it!”

Pah, why doesn’t anet allow its proper use in harvesting crops?!?! LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE.

Its a dagger in GW2, so the way its held is the only way that makes sense. If the direction of it being held was reversed, then it would be useless as a dagger, since you would either have to raise your hands and strike down to use the blade, or contort your wrist in a strange way to make it effective.

Just because its not identical to GW1 does not make it wrong. The way its held is the only logical way to hold a dagger with a blade going like that.

Maybe so this doesn’t happen: during several dagger animations the character will hit with the back of the handle instead of the blade?

Well we are not getting any new wepon types just skins that make them look like new weapons types. So a dagger is a mages melee to short ranged. Its no longer just a dagger its every thing that can be done with this type of attk. You can say the same thing for Hammer it cover that meatly slow swing attk that you see in a G axe there even a hammer called such and such G axe.

Though i must say holding the kama backwards like that looks a bit odd it would of been nice if this dagger was one that you could hold the other way.

The thing is if you actually look at “those” animations they are stabbing with what is called the “ice pick grip”.

So if you take those very same animations with the current Kamas what do you see? You are stabbing with the blunt head of the kama which looks even dumber…

Here I drew a crude diagram of what I mean…

Well, since someone makes one of these threads appear every time this item is offered, perhaps, the Devs will create special animations for this item…some day, once it moves closer to the top of the priority list.

Good luck.

ehh they could havenade it an axe skin lol
