[quote]Everything can change before the Beta and final release.[/quote] Everything can, but it'd be -blam!-ing stupid to do so. "Hey we have three years worth of concept art and assets with the arc hunter using a staff, but this guy on the internet thinks it should be shortswords. We'll do a full conversion in three months, no sweat."

It's just an animation change for the Super, that's it. I know it's unlikely, too.
-
It's not just an animation change. They have to change the model, change any promo art, redo trailers, change any lore/dialogue related to it being a staff, etc.
-
You do have a point. I get it, but still. Quite a few people aren't exactly happy with that change, and I get that from poking around the internet a bit. At the very least, it wouldn't be too hard to just change the model of the staff into a dual bladed sword or something. Then, you can keep the animations, dialogue, references to the staff (since it still would technically be one), and all that jazz. Think about it. Does a blunt-ish staff make sense for a sharp knife wielder to "upgrade" to?
-
I don't disagree that going knife -> staff seems really stupid. Hunters are Rogues, not Monks. If anything, Stormcaller should have gotten the Bo staff. But making a drastic change at this point would be irresponsible because it can't be done right.
-
I have to say that's pretty accurate. It probably won't happen, but if Stormcallers got the badass monk staff going for them and Hunters got more blades it would be cooler and make far more sense.
