Guild Wars 2

Jumping up some mushroom I stumble up this tengu samurai with an awesome idle animation (his fighting style is even more samurai-like and more awesome)

Why can’t we hold our staff like this Samurai bird but instead we hold it like a heavy hammer even though there have been quite a few post about wanting the idle to change.

I’m glad we got the AA changed but this idle animation still annoy me :/

We actually already have that animation. It’s the walking with staff one. Try it. They just made him use it without moving.

also, some races have different animations when walking with various weapons.

I remember my human holding the GS on his sholder,while my norn simply walks as if it was a single hander

I notice how other race hold it differently too(charr use left hand I think for staff)
And now knowing we had that staff on shoulder as a walking idle animation

The more I want to know why they don’t implement it to the running animation or just standing still animation as well
Especially when they want to distinguish it from other classes and specs

I know it doesn’t affect the game play but these little details always gets me :/

I don’t know about other classes, but as a sylvari it looks like I hold the staff as if it was a hammer when running/idle. I think it would be cool to hold the staff like the monkey king tonic does when running/standing idle instead (one hand holding it up on a shoulder).
