Idle pose with tool drawn is not optimal for DoL

Hi!

Currently, DoH and DoL adopt the idle pose of gladiator with weapon drawn. However, as gladiator uses a shield, it's somewhat awkward.

Why not use the marauder pose for DoL instead? :D

Thanks!

Change it up for DoH too... *Frying pan*

But I love holding my sewing kit like a sword.

I love how my Miner rotates that big giant hammer like nobody's business, when he strikes a pose.

The twirl is the best part, for miner, botanist, and fisher.

Thing is, the pose is fine on male characters. But females hold their left arm like they were holding a shield, which makes them look retarded when the shield is absent. The pose looked fine on my male miqo'te, as he kept his left arm relatively relaxed, but my female roegadyn looks like she's holding an invisible cup of tea.

I agree. While it was clearly a time-saving effort to just give all DoL and DoH the Gladiator idle pose, the fact that the pose displays both sword and shield means that pose looks a bit silly when you're not actually wearing a shield.

Maybe we can hold out hope that, in the future, SE will give DoL and DoH specialized poses as well? I'm guessing that won't be a big priority, though...

It looks absurd that you draw and sheathe your weapon like a gladiator, too, though the weapons are on your back and not your hip.

Yup, hence the marauder one as a better replacement for now. ^^

I just enjoy having idle pose with my tool drawn. Environment doesn't matter.
