    For a Cleric, I'm not a fan of the current staff-holding; I'm sure it will change in time, so I'm not too worried.

    The current version reminds me of the way Dargo held his big 2-Handed Sword in Farscape.


    Exactly....home run style ;)

    It looked great to me. The staff was heavy so I'm not sure how else he would hold it. Maybe with a lighter staff he could hold it a different way.

    I think Cleric shouldn't have that long staff in the beginning, it looks like a huge spear/sword thingy that he looks like a knight/guardian. I think the staff itself must be shorter.

     Also Cleric at least shall hold it like Aang does.

    Actually, yes. At first it was weird to me but then, after really thinking about it, that's how one should really hold a staff in reality.. How often would you walk around holding a Staff by your side, horizontally? Absolutely NEVER.. It would be extremely awkward to traverse that way, it makes more sense for them to hold it the way it's displayed in AoC currently.

    I don't know why it has "no" listed above for me. I voted yes.

    That doesn't make much sense, Aang uses the staff SPECIFICALLY for melee. The Clerics will not?

    I dont really like it but so far I think all the animations are a little clunky and boring.  I really hope they improve the animations and I am sure they will with time.

    To me the cleric holding that staff looks like Aragon charging the black gate yelling "For Frodo!"
    While I absolutely love that scene I don't like the staff being held that way in game.

    Clerics should have maces anyway... But if done so for this demo their silhouette might have been too close to that of the Tank... So they made them 'pop' by holding a telephone-pole.. My thoughts anyway. Monks do fighting staffs.

    It kinda reminds me of the priest carrying the cross during some sort of ritual. And it makes me think that it's way to static. It's carried like you would some sort of the banner. :/ It's pretty good, but not to my liking. :P
