the hidden daggers power should have been a "greatsword boomerang"

i despise the hidden daggers power!

my identity as a great weapon fighter is detached whenever i put this power into use.

can we have a different skill that do same damage but a little bit in line with gwf?

how about:
- throwing your great sword that circles around the given aoe and coming back (while spinning)?
- trusting your great sword and piercing the ground while cracks on the ground go multiple directions to meet the aoe damage?
- swinging/slashing the air to generate a powerful gust of wind that eventually becomes small tornadoes that goes any where inside the aoe?

these are just some of the ideas and some of these exist in other games too. i know a lot of the players here have a better idea and expects more creativity from the developers.

this irks me. let's leave the "hidden daggers" to the assassins and bring back the gwf's big a$$ weapons.

    yea, maybe a big a$$ cannon. anything big will do just no small daggers.

    Such a trip that it is just a copy/paste of Blitz. But it has become BIS for sure. Maybe give us a throwing axe and keep the same tooltip.

    yea, same tooltip. i would prefer a different animation too. change those daggers to something else big like what you said, spinning axes.

    Throwing a great sword like a boomerang is actually a really cool idea.

    They planned on having a gapcloser encounter were you throw your Sword and then charge in. It never happened tho..
    Hidden Daggers visually doesn't fit the class thats for sure... and a Sword is not a boomerang, but questioning anything under a scientific aspect is pointless anyway.​​

    if you don't like the "boomerang" effect then we can do something about that. why not use the sword knot to bring back/control your great sword upon throwing it to the enemy. =)

    as long as it involves the primary weapon or anything "big", then i won't have a problem with it. for now, these blades are mocking how gw should choose their weapons into battle.

    I have an idea to change this power to, throw your Sword in an impaling manner at the enemy...rooting the enemy for the duration that your character (automaticly) lunge jumps to the impaled sword to pick it up.
    I nominate using the TR's Impact Shot overhand throw animation

    that would be even better. yea, use the animation from impact shot and pick up your great sword at the end. nice! B)

    yea, I like this skill but the animation doesn't really cut it for me. main weapon (greatsword and knot) wasn't utilized to their full potential.

    totally! if they can just change the way this skill is presented and name it BOOM-I-GOT-A BIG-SWORD-IN-YOUR-A** (j/k), it would be really nice :smiley:
