Guild Wars 2

So what staff skins will go well with a thief?

Chaos; so you can blind yourself and others with it’s light.

Bifrost obviously

Since bifrost looks like a rainbow tipped sperm, I will be using chaos staff.

Scythe Staff Skin. So i can decapitate myself in the twirling process.

Kasmeer so i can tickle people with my purple magic floaty feathers.

Following Staff Skins will go well in my opinion more or less:

• Adamant Guard Staff
• Bandit Spire/Invaders Staff (One reason why id like to have that spec named Bandit actually)
• Beaded Warstaff
• Bramblethorn (for sylvari)
• Ceremonial Stave
• Crude Staff
• Deathwish
• Emberspire
• Final Rest
• Gnarled Walking Staff
• Godskull Crosier
• Guild Pillar
• Imryldyeen/ The Legend
• Kodan Staff
• Lionguard Staff
• Melandru’s Gaze
• Monsoon
• Ogre Warstaff
• Pact Quarterstaff
• Pearl Quarterstaff
• Scythe Staff
• Silence
• Sovereign Pillar
• The Bifrost
• Toy Staff
• Vigils Honor Staff

and naturally the kind of bo staff skin that the elite spec will give them and that we see in the concept art

take a look at the staff skins.. thieves will be getting these.

the new makeshift staff from the hot expansion (look on wiki if you want to spoiler) – it looks simple, but very nice for a melee staff

not 100% happy with the thief staff skin – looks too much like gallant / guardian to me….

I’ll work on the new staff with the blue spirit crow on it which was datamined a while ago now

Yea the elite-spec staff for thief doesn’t seem to have a thief-ish vibe for some reason. I know it’s suppose to be different from thief core spec but the color scheme is totally different from the thief and the background seen in the teaser.

Their own staff skin looks pretty good…

Kasmeer all the way.

Guild pillar is and always will be my favorite melee staff rendition. The chain hanging off is just too sexy to pass up. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Guild_Pillar.jpg

I’d also wager that all of the new staff skins in HoT that you’d get from normal loot, dungeons, and other sources are more melee-look friendly since but us and the rev now use them as melee weapons, and there are already a large number of “heavy headed” staff skins in the game.

The Crossing staff, and its lantern on a chain at the end would be fun to whack people with.

Oh gawd, I heard we’re getting Clones… Curse you ABC!

Nephrite.6954:

Oh gawd, I heard we’re getting Clones… Curse you ABC!

last I heard that’s nothing more than a rumour.

As you say.
Currently only a guess (or hope) by many.

I suspect it’s a reaction to the Mesmer being better at Thieves than being evasive and stealthy, now… something that most Thief players I have spoken to always prided themselves on.
The sentiment… “If they steal our Stealth role, we should steal their Illusions trick!”

I feel it is unlikely, however.
