Seraph Guard and their polearms
I love spear weapons and it has always been sad that none are in the game.
It is also sad there are no great axes when the warrior image used in all product information regarding gw2 shows the image of a large armored warrior with a great axe hanging off his shoulder.
Spears are not polearms. (although some polearms may also double as a spear)
That seraph’s weapon looks more like a Halberd than a spear anyways. Halberd would make more sense with how he is using it too. You don’t chop with a spear, that ain’t how spears work.

That’s funny I created a topic about this in the living story section, I was guessing it could be a hint towards a Warrior staff wielding elite spec sort of like how Necromancer NPCs could wield greatswords before HoT released.
At the very least it is a unique staff, spear, trident, or new(grain of salt) weapon skin.
