Staff option for power emanations

So those powers that let you choose where to shoot from? I suggest a staff option and let you pick a staff, could even use those flag pole or lantern sticks things don't even need to add new stuff, and animation wise, i'm sure we already have nice animations in game that could work with it, just saying would be real nice.

    We do in fact have a device that has you shooting stuff out of a staff. Wands too I think. The problem is making that work with the emanation point system, which I'm going to guess is probably not possible since emanation points don't seem to be designed to make an object appear in your hands.

    Getting hand costume parts that have you holding a staff would be neat, though I'm not sure how that would interact with the hand bones.​​

    None of which have selectable emanation points that I'm aware of. Are there any that you've observed?​​

    Yea, they could make that happen. With new powers. With new animations.
    It's not as easy as people think.

    Sure, and that sounds great, but that's a separate suggestion from the one the OP is making, which is about adding emanation points that also add models, not making new powers. That's why I responded to your comment of "Should not be any more hard than the gun animations" as I did, because those gun animations don't have emanation points. So saying that fulfilling the OP's request should be as easy as making gun animations for powers doesn't really make sense since you're talking about two very different things.​​

    Well I wouldn't mind if they did it like an aura like ID blades makes it so that you use an entirely different power but exactly the same as the normal ego blade one just with two blades.
    Or new powers could be nice too.

    With the development resources that CO seems to have, I wouldn't expect anything like this to appear. But it would be pretty sweet to use on my mage characters.
