Guild Wars 2

Hi everyone!

I just saw this amazing new weapon skin and thought it would be awesome to have it in GW2 as well and its perfect for Halloween theme too, check it out:

We already have similar skin in game, and also the reaper animation, could rework on these [img]http://i.imgur.com/Wh8r6cr.jpg[/img]

I dunno. It’s one thing to put a scythe skin on a staff, considering you’d hold the two weapons the same way, and certain necromancer skins always create a scythe illusion on staves, but a greatsword is held completely differently, swung differently, and in general doesn’t work the same way. Plus, if we make (great)swords to bendy, they become scimitars instead, and then what skins would we have for the Elona expansion?

As a mesmer, interesting idea – with the 1 great sword mesmer skill i would become a Blender!

That wouldn’t work in the least due to how the characters hold the GS and the animations.

uhmm, how you hold a scythe and how you hold a greatsword is exactly the same.
look more on how you hold it IRL instead of looking at fantasy movies…..

In real life, an actual scythe has two handles coming off of the haft. You do not hold it by the butt-end of the shaft and swing it like a blade. You don’t hold it like a staff either.

But rather than looking at IRL or fantasy movies, you need to look at how the game treats wielding. The best analogue is Hammer, which is a wide two-handed grip and similar swing. The reaper’s scythe is a Hammer skin with the appropriate animations.

In real life a scyte isn’t a weapon as well… except against real-life sylvari…

We do have the Improvised set of skins, made entirely out of non-weapon things.

Really? I had no idea greatswords had a second perpendicular handle half of the way up their length… and were principally wielded to kill grass.
