A harp would not work, believe me! I’m a (somewhat lapsed) re-enactor & Medieval Martial Artist. And a musician. And yes, I do have a medieval-size harp (horribly out of practice, though!). Just how do you think you’d use it? Just what would you do when someone tried to hit you?
You need two hands to play a harp. You can’t strum quick chord off-handedly. As a weapon, it would be extremely silly. As a slot skill it might work. And, before anyone says anything, no I don’t expect realism of GW2, but I would like to not have arrant stupidity introduced. If you want to believe Bruce Lee, Hollywood, and that those silly whirly attacks in the game are remotely feasible, that’s up to you. I will continue to smile tolerantly & enjoy it anyway. Fighting with a harp would be going too far though, I’m sorry!
You are okay with fireballs and Mesmers cloning themselves, but using a Harp as a magical weapon is too far? lolwatk.
