Guild Wars 2

I was browsing the topic list and didn’t see anyone brought it up. (maybe they did long time ago but I didn’t see it)

I was thinking can Anet give us the option to “display” our underwater weapon in the ground area? For example, an Elementalist display Kraitkin on the ground when he’s not in battle. When we are in battle we switch back to the original weapon we carry.

I think my suggestion is quite fair, because we are technically equipping our Trident, its just not showing up if we’re not underwater. There are some unique weapon skin, and I find there are just so little chances for us to showcase our underwater weapon.

A display aquarium in one of the hubs of Lion’s Arch would do nicely for those fishy players wanting to AFK with their legendaries on display like all the cool kids.

To go a little further, it would be interesting to see a “/showcase” command or a “Showcase” option in the right-click menu of an equipped weapon. Doing so puts your character into a unique animation with the selected weapon that showcases its wondrous facets. It would also bring up a small on-screen listing of equipped weapons that you can switch between instead of doing it manually on each one from the Hero Panel item.

I loathe the idea of naming the option as “Show Off”, “Brag”, “Gloat”, etc. It shouldn’t be a “Look at me and what I’ve got that you don’t!” kind of utility, but more of a “Let us all share in the glory of this wonderful creation!” kind.

Another way to wield our Trident more often would be protest Anet adding more weapon skill on the ground and having Trident as one of the option! (with different skills on the ground)

I really like Kraitkin trident, but feeling its a waste because 90% we’re not underwater. It is also the only high end magic weapon with “water” theme.

Just let us use water weapons on land already. This will make them alot more useful, and they won’t have to stop making skins for water weapons.
