Guild Wars 2

So I just dropped some serious coin on the Scythe Staff Skin for my Daredevil and I’m pretty disappointed. The animations for the AA look like this skin wasn’t even taken into consideration and its one of maybe 4 or 5 melee looking staff skins (which is also pitiful). I mean, I tried my best to look up the animations before wasting my gold and all I could find was a youtube video with a Rev showing off theirs, which were beautiful. I thought for sure Daredevil would get the same love. Honestly all you would need to do is turn the angle of the staff a few degrees during the AA to make it look like the blade is hitting the target instead of the flat side.
Please take this into consideration. It’s such a waste for one of the very few melee staff skins to have such a weak AA animation.

Now that you own it, could you upload a video of the animations so that other players can judge the animations?

Sure thing. I’ll try and have it up by tonight.

Get a twitch streamer to complain next day they will fix it.

Yea, I’m not super confident everyone will agree with me on this but something about the AA just irks me. It just looks like the blade is doing nothing and all I’m doing is spinning the flat side around. Punishing strikes is the real culprit but the rest of the chain is also just off.

AA chain starts around 0:25

Thanks, I was actually hoping for someone to do this, so I know if I should keep or sell mine. It actually looks better than I expected, since the first swing of the auto is at least a proper scythe swing. I was expecting the third part of the auto to clip through the char model a ton, but it just looks a little silly whapping the enemy with the flat part of the scythe some. Can’t win ’em all (though it would be cool if they updated it, not even sure how it would work with that animation). The other skills (especially skill 2) look pretty awesome.

It’s not as cool as the scythe (should be) but maybe a spiky staff instead

While I can see buyers remorse given its cost… it looks pretty fantastic outside the animations. I know I would remember a thief coming at me with that thing. It might throw someone for a second thinking it is a Reaper coming at them.
