Guild Wars 2

Good day

There are soooo many absolutely beautiful spear, trident and harpoon skins in the game, it is a great shame to have them gather dust behind situational mechanical limitations and have them barely visible during underwater combat anyway.

Many of these spears, for example, look like they would make absolutely gorgeous staves, more melee oriented ones at that, and seeing as we adopted the staves for melee combat (Daredevils, Revenants) why not adopt the spear skins into staves? Perhaps tridents too, and harpoons into rifles. With the exception of legendaries ofc.

This would be purely a cosmetic change, not a mechanical one. I know weapons need to be distinct from one another, but I don’t see anyone spending so much time underwater to be upset by this.

I like this idea. I’d be more interested in trident -> staff than spear, if only because I still haven’t given up on getting a land spear weapon option. It seems unlikely enough that the trident would ever become a ground weapon that there would be nothing to lose with this change.
