Guild Wars 2

All of the staves are lacking IMO… but this would fit nicely with my character’s theme.

I’ll even name it for you. Call it the lightning rod.

You’re welcome.

That could be a very cool skin indeed.

There are a couple of staff skins that have lightning effects on them. The Aetherized Staff is basically an electrode that has sparks coming out of it. And both the Mystic Staff and the Peacekeeper’s Staff have some electrical particle affects on them as well.

But I assume you’re talking about a staff shaped like an actual lightning bolt and / or made out of lightning (like Bolt or the Storm Bow). Which I agree would be pretty cool, particularly because it’d be a staff that’s not just a stick with something on the tip. Which are always the best staff designs, IMO. There’s so much more space to work with when they use the whole staff for the overall design instead of just the head, like with the Dragon’s Jade Staff or The Crossing.

I would desperately love to get a staff that acts as a LIGHT SOURCE (for the Sharkmaw JP, and the couple of other totally-dark areas about the game). There are exceedingly few light sources available to Elementalists. My “Flames of Kryta” have been broken for a long time, and I couldn’t fight while carrying that anyway.

“Lightning Rod” could definitely produce a glow. So could a staff consisting entirely of flames (“Hot Rod”?)

I would highly like a staff that looks like a halberd. For thief purposes of course c:

I’d buy a lightning themed staff skin from the gem shop, especially if it worked as a light source.
Side note: repair Flames of Kryta please. -.-
