Reviving an old topic: Spears

Gan Xing

This is an old topic dating back to when the game launched. Players wanted spears and no-weapon combat to be a thing. I'm sure that desire is still present.

Before anyone starts saying things like: Templars already have spears, or it's difficult to create the animation, i'll say it first.

Another thing... Templar spears are made of light, so why can't we have physical spears. It would be a nice tie in to how templars started using their "light" spear abilities.
As for the animation, we can have a character hold the spear as they hold the destro staves (but they can have a shield). Their light attacks can be like the puncture ability, and the heavy attack like a slow javalin (they just don't throw it).

As for coding... well that is where we might run into difficulties.

And finally, I get it, people don't want another weapon class that is dedicated to stamina, so as a compromise, let the morphs be stam/mag like they do in some class skills.
