Guild Wars 2

One of the great things about the legendary weapons (and some store skins) is that they can change projectiles into special versions unique to those weapons. The Dreamer being the most outstanding of them.

It’s very possible that, like how the Bifrost changes missiles to rainbow balls, the Nevermore will change projectiles to ravens or ghostly spirit ravens.

Sounds pretty dope for a druid right? We can shoot 100% of all the birds at people.

Not so fast. Our new staff only has one projectile attack on it and the auto is a beam effect similar to the Mesmer great sword. The chances of us being able to enjoy special missile effects is slim to nil.

Just seems a shame that an ideal Druid/Ranger weapon wouldn’t have the effect it really needs.

Totally bet Staff 2 on Druid will launch a deadly spirit Raven that will constantly peck our foes.

Well I guess they could add effects to the staff 1 anyway or to 2, 3, 4, and 5 if they wanted to. Not gonna get my hopes up though.

I’d rather have a beam that’s going to be easier to use in all situations than have a harder to use, dodgeable projectile just for the sake of fancy legendary effects.

Maybe they can make #3 turn the player into a raven for its duration. That’d be pretty amazing.

I don’t necessarily see that Staff as a Druid-themed weapon, though I seem to be in the minority from most accounts. Fits Necromancers, Raven Spirit Norns, Superior Rune of the Mad King characters, “dark-themed” characters, and maybe last the Druid. Can’t say it shouldn’t be a Druid’s weapon, but more than it’s not what immediately comes to mind.

As such, I actually hope it never ever shoots “ravens”, even if it was designed with Druids in mind (feel fre to disagree, of course.)

Irenio said he was changing some animations. Maybe the AA was one of them.

Either way I just hope it looks great with bifrost. It’s the master-staff.

It still looks pretty amazing, and I personally want it. Next to kasmeers staff skin this is my absolute favorite.

The lost potential here is that we don’t get anything that shoots bears.

We need bear shooter once and for all.

Second Series Legendary Shortbow confirmed:

“Unbearable”

Fires flaming grizzly bears as arrows.

Has special +10,000 to all stats bonus when not wearing any armor, you have a pet Brown Bear equipped, and you have been on the same map for 30 minutes or more.

Honestly, The Dreamer is the most annoying and stupidly unreasonably out of place weapon I’ve ever seen.
I hope they don’t add any more like it.

No true Scotsman Ranger would ever turn down a literal Bearbow.

The staff still looks awesome and will fit my sylvari ranger, which is hard to find weapons I think would fit her.

Hmmm, so many people would be crafting this staff, and so many classes are using staff post HoT (Thief, Ranger, Revenant, Ele, Necro)

As much as how awesome this staff is in terms of design and animation, I think I’d pass.
Don’t wanna be a clone of everyone else holding the same weapon.

Only the wisp on Ranger staff is a projectile. Maybe staff 5 will convert enemy projectiles into ravens as well though.

On the last Guild Chat this came up as Rubi said her thief was her serious character and she just couldn’t craft the pistol (Quip) and short bow (the Dreamer) for it. She got the reply that they will make more serious legendary weapons now.

Kind of want to combine this with the new ascended shoulders that make bats follow you around.

While fighting you’d have a swarm of bats and ravens around you at all times.

“What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets! Enough talk- have at you!”

Ok please make the astral wisp that circles around the target one of those raven projectiles. Please make the #3 skill (astral grace) one of those ravens aswell.

This would make up for the auto being a beam. I really don’t think the 2 elite specs that have staff should both not be able to see the coolest part of it. Fix that!

Raven + Nevermore + Mad King runes + Scarecrow Finisher = Birdpocalypse!

Juvenile Raven + Nevermore + Mad King runes + Scarecrow Finisher + Miniature Raven +
Raven Mail Carrier = Ravenpocalypse

I don’t know which staff should I go for now xD. Also my only complaint is the Druid stance with the staff.

I don’t get why Druid has a “melee” stance with the staff while all of the skills are range…??

I really just don’t like the melee staff stance on Druid at all really to be honest.

Add in some Preserved Queen Bee xD

Using Warhorn4 and Ogre Pet Whistle (gryphon) for a little more birds xD
