Guild Wars 2

Hello GW, I love how you turned the staff into a melee with the Revenant and the Daredevil. This addition has been some of my favorite part of combat to this day. I am saying this because in all of my time with the staff there is only about 2 skins that kinda work with these two play-styles. I am begging you gw devs, please turn the underwater weapons into two part skins one for underwater and one for land.

EX: A spear that a person gets in the game is also a staff skin accessible in the wardrobe; so that you only have to modify textures not stats.

I think the textures on allot of underwater weapons are fantastic and elegant, and would be a great addition to those people who love the style of a staff with a blade on it.

Please take this under consideration, and if you also think this should be added to the game please comment saying which underwater weapon you would want to see in the real game.

Mine is the “Hero’s Spear” and its evolution the “Mistforged Hero’s Spear”

This is a really cool idea. With the addition of the staff as a melee weapon via revenant and daredevil, having the spears (and tridents) available on land as staff skins would be a great addition.

I’d pay gems to get my spear skin into my warrior on land.

Dear Anet, I would PAY for this. As a daredevil there are maybe 4 skins that seem appropriate. Only 2 that fit my theme. But if you allowed us to use spear skins as staff skins I would be spoiled for choice.
Also since it seems that you’ve turned away from underwater content it would allow you to reuse old assets.

This is definitely needs to happen. The effort to create and design the existing spear weapons is currently wasted the further we moved away from underwater combat. Doing so will be a win win situation to everyone, please consider.

Well, there is, right now, this one that has a blade (three actually – double blade on top, and one below):

I’d rather just be able to use underwater weapons on land. Seems like wasted content to me that could add some build diversity with a little work. Perhaps they could just release some new staff skins more appropriate for rev and DD

This has been suggested a number of times over the years. There was even one where Gaile Gray commented on it.

Oh well, never hurts to ask again.

Please make underwater weapons into land weapons.

• It will greatly expand the number of land weapons skins at (hopefully) a fraction of the cost of making the same number of skins new.
• It will give the underwater Legendaries a new life and value if expanded to land weapon use.
• It would increase the value of underwater weapon skins as they would have a double use, allowing matching sets of land and underwater weapons if people so desire.

There are a lot of really nice underwater skins that are rarely seen or used and this would make them both more visible and used. Tridents and spears could become staffs. Spear guns could become regular guns.

Dragonfury on land. Yes please.

In GW1 Beyond, ANet messed with our heads by mixing up skin archetypes — the ‘wrong’ weapon skin. I’d like to see more of that; it was fun.

• The People’s Resolve — Focus, using a dagger skin (“chromium shards”)
• Harmony — a focus that looks like a (tiny) scepter
• Shattered Illusion — a wand that looks like a focus (“storm artifact”)
• The People’s Will — a wand that looks like a focus (“paper fan”)
• Xun Rao’s Justice — a wand that looks like a dagger (“katana”)

use MF to convert the existing old legendary to:
harpoon gun as rifle/pistol
trident as staff/sceptor
spear as hammer/sword/dagger

Wow after going back and thinking about it a lot of fantastic skins are perfect for land Like the Kraitkin Trident… since it looks like the Caduceus staff from Greek Mythology. I kinda thought I was the only person that would actually want an underwater weapon, but it seems like everyone likes some of the underwater weapons more then most real weapons.

If my necro could have the Kraitkin as a Legendary staff, I would get that right away. There are a bunch of very nice skins that would make wonderful staffs.

Two others.

UNDERWATER WEAPONS FOR LAND!!!!!! That is all.

Im sure it would be a large undertaking but 100% yes to this!

Or make underwater content matter again xD

I guess that some spears might just be taken out of water and just make those skills usable on land. For example guardian’s abilities are designed in such manner that I see no problems with them being used out of water.

Brilliance could use some extra effects because just a single blind every 15 seconds is quite underpowered. Making it daze for 1-2 seconds could be useful.

Spear Wall might be a leap symbol with the same range as wings of resolve. You could jump and leave a symbol on the spot where you land, dealing damage on impact and over time to those who stand in it (duh), great for mobility.

Wrathful Grasp could also use something extra, perhaps pull and root for a bunch of seconds along with burn.

Zealot’s Flurry is just right, lots of stabs in a short time, nothing to take and nothing to add.

Spear of Light could be a short-mid range auto attack, working in melee and changing into thrown AA when the enemy leaves your range. Mid range seems like 600 perhaps 900 yards max.

EDIT:
But I’d love it if at least staves could be transmuted with spear skins, because there are so many lovely spear looks that it is a huge shame that we can’t show them off on dry land.

This would be really neat. Right now I’m using the Dominator staff skin for my Daredevil. Unfortunately, it’s the only one that seems to work well. I’d kill for a spear or a trident skin. I’d also like to see some new elite specializations that maybe used the underwater weapons. I think a spear-throwing warrior would be a nice addition to the game.

If I could use my Mirage skin on a Staff, then hell yes please!

So how would harpoon guns work?

As rifles?

if so… i think thieves and rangers get screwed

The Voltaic spear model from Guild Wars that’s an underwater weapon in GW2 would make a great spear on land of course, but it could also be used as a staff. A great weapon skin wasted, in my opinion.
