Melee Staff

AScarlato · May 8

Something happened to my Healer in Night Market but I kinda liked this bug. Made me think he wanted to smack people with his staff. If they ever add a Monk-themed class or a weapon line for a martial staff I think I'd enjoy such a thing.

Melee staff would be fun.

are you using Maniacal Jester or Monster Hunter personality?
it looks like the staff is being held like those personalities hold their weapons.

No I was using the Happy personality. I don't have the other two but interesting they have those animations on other ones. I got knocked down by something in NM and when I stood up that was my stance.

They don't even need to add a new skill line for that. Just add 1 or 2 more skills to each weapon tree and one or both of the staff ones could be stamina costing melee skills. One single target strike and a sweeping multi target strike, maybe?

That could be a way to get the feel in quickly, but I'd prefer it being it's own line because I don't feel the passives and lore would make sense for the types of staffs we have already.

They could easily use all the existing motifs though.
