we need more staff skins that look like a spear for the reverent and daredevil, skins like the dragonfury, impaler, krytan spear would look great on land.
and its not like anyone fights underwater anymore, why not just make a second version of some of the spear skins as a staff.

You (and many others) would like it; I’m not convinced we need it.
I do like simple staff skins for melee — I’d also like to see more.

I’d like to encourage you to remove this part of your argument. Lots of people do fight underwater (I love aquatic WvW — it’s usually a win for me because people don’t know how to do it).
And even if WvW was super popular, there’s still good reason for cross-trope skins — weapons in GW2 are there to focus magical energy; they rarely relate directly to the skills. So why not repurpose a tiny number of skins?
Besides, we already have a scepter that looks like a staff (Emberglow), a hammer that looks like a ship’s deadweight (mecha anchor), a sling-shot skin for a pistol, a candy cane hammer, etc. (And GW1 released about half a dozen similar cross-dressing skins as part of Winds of Change .)
In other words, the skin’s current playtime is irrelevant — it’s enough to say you like simple staff skins and you have a couple existing models in mind.

Always in favor of minimalistic / realistic armor and weapons. So spears and even tridents or plain staffs would make for much better visuals when using staffs for melee purposes.
