Guild Wars 2

I want to ask the GW2 community,

what do you consider to be the top 5 Staff skins in the game that would look good as a melee staff weapon for Revenants?

we don’t even know that they’re getting staff…..but if they are then tormented or chaos.

Isnt staff a ranged weapon?

Like hammer is used as ranged weapon now by the Revenant?

Mistforged hero’s staff or Final Rest are pretty much it

I think its the 5 skins whose supply i just bought out on the TP.

considering Revenant has red/misty animations like seen in the videos/pictures

Bloody Prince Staff
Fractal Staff

The revenant cannot use a staff. Only Axe/mace and hammer. Not sure why people keep making pointless posts about stuff that has never been confirmed by the devs.

The only weapons we know about so far are Axe/mace and hammer. We’re pretty sure they can use sword too, and the rest is speculation. Was the OP poorly worded, sure, but if they get staff it’s nice to think about what would look nice.

we saw rytlock fighting with HotW staff in the trailer thats why people assume it

That could be said about your post as well. Where did the devs confirm that the revanant can only use hammers, axes and maces?

glock didnt say that revenant can ONLY use hammers, axes and maces

he just said the ONLY these weapons have been CONFIRMED yet

but glock is not right when he says that revenant cannot use a staff… he cant know it yet..
maybe revenant will use staff or maybe not…

Let’s see…

Staves without jiggly or fragile-looking things at the top should do fine.

Here are the staves I think look better for bashing stuff:

Thieves should also get a melee staff sooner or later.

I’d like to make myself an “Acrobat” thief. But for them I’d pick staves without something big at the top only.

Wanze.8410:

Isnt staff a ranged weapon?

Isn’t a hammer a melee weapon?

IF the Rev gets Staff
and IF it turns out to be Melee (over ranged) …
I will live my dream of using a spear by equipping either a Aureate Staff (kind of spear-like), Chaos Staff skin, or Tormented. Not a perfect compromise, but you work with what you are given.

Hands down my overall favourite will be the scythe skin, assuming the animation for a melee staff somewhat makes sense for that skin.

That’s not what he said. He literally said: “The revenant cannot use a staff. Only Axe/mace and hammer.”

I highly doubt the revenant can only use 3 weapons and I’m pretty confident that the staff and sword will also be added to the revenant’s kitten nal (stupid censorship filter, what I obviously meant is the revenant’s collection of weapons).

kitten…
you are right
i misread that xD

yes i think we saw sword and dagger in stream on revenant already but not sure about dagger

Having in mind the Rev theme:

1. Bloody Prince
2. Corrupted Branch
3. Fractal Staff
4. Guild Pillar
5. Modniir Quarterstaff

Depending on how the staff is held and what side of the staff is going to be hitting the enemy, I would say mistforged hero’s or the regular hero’s staff. If staves are held the same way most classes hold them, that is, the front side facing the enemy, then it would look weird imo.

well.. i already know my potential favourite…if HoT doesnt bring something in that i like more of course. The crossing with its doofy dongly lantern…

If we are going by staves, the mistforged staff seems perfect for a revenant.

Theorising stuff is hardly useless. Stop being a miserable sod.

1. zodiac
2. kasmeers
..
23. bitfrost

the wooden toy staff.

Looking forward to smacking things with Chaos Staff.

Bloody Prince, Heroes Mistforged, Delusion and the Crimson Lion staff. Just to round it out, I’ll add in the Chaos staff.

Revenant will most likely be able to use a sword due to the fact that Rytlock’s signature weapon is the fiery dragon sword.

Also why would they include a Revenant wielding a staff in the trailer, and then not include it in the game? #Conspiracy theories.

To quote myself from another topic:

BladeRain.6543:

• Aureate Staff
• Beaded Warstaff
• Dredge Pillar
• Final Rest (obviously)
• Guild Pillar
• Kodan Staff
• Krait Crook

But this is assuming that Revenants are in fact able to wield a Staff and it is used as a melee weapon. Has this been confirmed? I haven’t watched any recent gameplay videos so I’m honestly unsure.

Isnt staff a ranged weapon?

Mesmer already ranges with greatsword. Clearly Anet doesn’t mind using magic to change the nature of weapon use.

I personally think it sounds cool.

The game has no Melee Staff Skins.. the game doesn’t have even any real Melee Staffs at all, because the Weapon Type is missing, because a Melee Staff is called “Quarterstaff” and would be considered to be a completely new Weapon Type.

If ANet would simply merge Skins over to an other Weapon Type, then there would be already no need at all for having “Tridents” at all, because basically every single Staff Skin could easily work also exactly as Trident Weapon and vice versa, which is why i already suggested several times, that it would be best for the game, if ANet simply would merge both Weapon types and make out of Staffs a universal usable weapon for the Game, that can be used on land as like in water.

But so far Anet hasn’t done this simple step

I personally just hope that we will see first Melee Staves in the game in the form of an added Weapon Caterogy as Quarterstaffs, because then we could see real skins for that Weapon type, that trule look like Staffs that are made for martial arts and not such stuff with big staff heads thats just used for magic staffs only to channel the magical energy at a point of the staff to unleash it.

ANet already has shown also in the game a perfect example for a Quarterstaff Weapon Skin that is basically a must have to be in the game-skin if you ask me, and thats this one here:

http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/gw2-monkey-king-tonic.jpg

Thats a true Quarterstaff thats used to battle with it in Melee Combats in Martial Arts, that truly only a Thief could master as the acrobatical Class of this game, which already showed from begin on the most martial artistical moves from all classes, when you think on Skills, like Deathly Blossom for example.

No other Class has such body control to perform such moves, than Thieves, and thats why i think that something like a Brawler Specialization with Quarterstaffs as a New Weapon will be a 100% sure Thief Specializastion somewhen in the future, while the Staves that we have no will stay as magic focused weapons with only if at all very inferior to minor melee moves in other specializations, that don’t will feel by far as much as martial artistical, than how the Thief Specialization with a true Quarterstaff will be like I think.

I also don’t think that Revs will receive Melee Staves at all and if at all, then maybe only for their Auto Attack with very basic melee moves, but nothing over the top special, the normal 2-5 Skills surely would be more ranged “magical”/mist style designs.
