Paragon spears

shouldnt there be close combat spears in addition to throwing spears? The concept of throwing spears is a bit odd...

How is the concept of throwing spears a bit odd? It's an African setting...throwing spears are a primitive weapon, most weapons in GW are...they were really used, so how's the concept a bit odd? :/ Maybe the name "javelin" would make more sense to you? A 'melee' type spear makes no sense to me...a polearm is similar, but not nearly a spear.

I agree. There's really no need, since the damage would be the same probably. If you want to act like it, just run up to them and act like your hitting instead of throwing.

They need to quicken the speed at which they throw imo.

where do u hide all those spears you just threw? do the enemys pass back the ones they get hit with just to be helpful?
at least arrows can be backed up... tho i wish all rangers or anyone who equips a bow will have a quiver...

Not odd at all. Sounds pretty cool actually. Finally a profession that uses none magical projectils other than the ranger!

I like the idea of changing the name to a javilin, but a close combat spear would work good for some builds that may come up, but then again people could just be a P/W and use a sword... But one of the few things that did disappoint me about Nightfall was the fact there were no close combat spears. I like spears over swords, axes, and hammers in most cases. Also the concept of pulling spears out of nowhere is a bit odd. Although I do have these complaints I still think the Paragon will be a promising addition to Guild Wars.

What about the concept of talking dragons?
or unlimited fire blasty thingies coming from a wand?
or obelisks that are controlled by flags?
Or Undead?
or weierd wolvering standing up things?
Besides, rangers pull arrows out of there @$$, dont they?
also no bow-strings....

Uh...yeah, javelin would be a better name for them, and they should come in a stack (similar to diablo 2) where you can attack at a close range or have the ability to throw....

u gotta remember there based on afercian spear hunters a broad head spear does much more dmg than a javalin u need a spear to bleed the animal out to folow his trail its the same principle with arrow heads its the normal hunting stratgey a javaline would just poke and might stay stuck in the animal and not bleed at all then how would u find the aminal
lol

For the 4th installment they should really incorporate a manriki (meteor hammer) type weapon user. Also there was a big rumor about Nightfall, that some class was going to use knuckle type weapons, so that was dissapointing when it wasn't so. Personally, for Nightfall, the devs could have inserted pikes instead of replicating a pure javazon type char.
the Africean hunters didn't want to bleed the animals to death, they used poison tipped spears/javalins and followed the animals by their dung which was left behind.

Technically spears were originally made for throwing....
Also we kinda do have a polearm in the scythe...but that's a little far reaching there..

I figure a naginata or similar skin is pretty much inevitable for the Dervish class... Good enough for me.
