Guild Wars 2

I have been thinking that it would be kind of nice to have Invisible Weapon Skins. I use a lot of magic based characters in this game and think that hand magic would look great.

Any thoughts?

Fine with me, optional items that you can use or not, are ok in my opinion.

Or make Warrior look like they’re punching the enemy with their armor gauntleted fists!

I would actually prefer to this this as it’s own “weapon skill”. Since it doesn’t require weapon skins and different animations could be used for brawling, martial arts, hand magic etc, I think there is potential for new elites here, esp Warrior, Thief and Mesmer.

Or even Necro – Kali Mar! Kali Mar!!

If it is PvE only I don’t care. In PvP and WvW it is very important to see what kind of weapons your opponent is using.

I am thinking more like:
Necro Staff skills – that you see the scythe and the staff (throws off the effect)
Elementalist – all skills from scepter and staff would look great.

Things like that.

If you use magic in this game, you should know that weapons are critical in using certain magics. I’m not against ANet offering a premium “Emperor’s Weapon Set” of invisible skins; I don’t think it would fit the lore that well.

IMO, Anet should have a toggle off appearance like they do with hats, shoulders, and should do with the rest of the armor slots.

YES PLEASE! No more weapon clipping! -throws wallet at the screen- Do it, Anet!

That would make the charr’s Hundred Mops animation even more amusing.

Elementalists can look like Avatar with these! Support

Weapon motion and effects are valuable tells for allies and opponents.

If it was a toggle instead of skins, you could simply toggle it back on if doing difficult content where tells were needed. And no stupid drop RNG.

In guild wars 1, you didn’t need weapons to do magic. Everything’s in flux

This would raise some tactical problems in PvP!

Here you don’t need it as well, it makes it just easyer and allows you different magic – it’s like you can still open a door without a key/screwdriver/chainsaw – but it is way harder when it is locked – after all only skill 1-5 need weapons

I’m so happy I understood the naked emperor reference I feel like a totally literate individual lmao.
Honestly I’d rather have ANet make new Especs with hand combat/magic because there are things that would look very odd. For instance, the idle Staff animation would look very funky with an invisible staff. Or the draw/sheathe Animations for sword/scepter, etc.
