can we have destruction staffs held properly in first person yet?

dsalter · August 2016

when i get bored in dungeons i like to go first person to challenge myself alittle, but when i use a destruction staff it's held like a spear, can we seriously fix this already?
the third person stance is enough to tell others our weapon, so how does first person help? all it does is make destruction staff users look... challenged shall i say.

Not sure what you are asking for. Resto and destro staffs are held different. Are you asking for destro staffs to be held like resto staffs?

the March 20th has image examples of how they are held. they are held like Javelins.

So what? How else would you want them held like? They have to be different to separate them from resto staffs.

not in first person they don't. only you can see your own angle in first person.

They kind of do have to be different. Just to remind you that you have a destro equipped.

i would disagree. same logic was applied to the block indicator and they removed it from first person.

well holding it like a Javelin is defo not a way to do it at least. makes destro staffs like like they are intended for people with... issues shall i say.

I am still not sure what your problem is. Like how else would you want an offensive weapon to be held like? It is suppose to look dangerous and being held like it does makes it look like that. It is not a healing staff, as such need to look threatening. If it was held the same, it would not be threatening.

Think of it like a gun, you point the dangerous end towards the thing you want to destroy.

in skyrim, a staff was held at a / angle not a _ angle, morrowind staffs were also held in a / angle tho it was alot closer to a straight up angle due to it being held like a hammer in first person

aiming the staff straight forward would only make sense if animations were smoothed out a ton more, atm you jerk hard when you light attack or start a heavy attack using destro.

I still am having trouble with picturing what you mean, could you take or find some screenshots of exactly what you mean? In those other games I never used a staff, I played a battle mage with one hand with an axe and the other magic, so I don't know what they looked like.

Use a Lightning Staff.

Now you're happy

What they should do is bring back the old Heavy Attack animation for Ice Staves only! The one wear you cast with two hands.

for an example of destro staffs in ESO, just go grab any destro staff, almost all of them are held stupidly, fun thing is, if you walk, it goes back to the old staff held animation in first person, when you idle it is held like a Javelin
