Guild Wars 2

Arimik.2460:

the human female’s greatsword stance is realistic and on par with an actual sword stance.

This…

The stance the females use is akin to the actual Nebenhut stance. It’s just one of the proper ways of wielding a sword.

Here, take a look at this:

I prefer all genders to wield longswords like this.

The way the character stands looks like the correct stance. However on a much closer inspection, it is rather a beginner trying to copy the stance.
-back isn’t straight, she leans forward a bit.
-elbow sticks out (which is like a big red target to hit for an experienced swordman)
-Front foot isn’t exactly straight (her knee looks a bit painful tbh)
-sword angle is wrong because she holds her arms wrong
-the edge of the blade points to the ground instead of at the opponent

Is it nitpicky? -Yes.
Is it a correct swordstance? -It’s an attempt.

the problem is why is she running in this stance also? feels like she’s dragging it and does not have it in control.

I like the female sword stance, it’s one of the reasons I made my ranger a female.

My problem with human females is the fact that the majority of their body models comes with arms that are skinnier than a super models arms.

Play a norn then

i love it, it gives the weapon some illusion of weight!
i use greatsaw too, which must be like lifting a motorbike

The human female style of holding it is pretty much perfect. The female Norn running stance looks stupid though unfortunately.
