Dancer Archive

So one of the first professions I tried was Dancer. Unfortunately it just felt too fruity for me to be shaking my butt at all those guys who just want to see the ladies, so I switched to music, which I like better anyway.

When I first got started I couldn't figure out why I was falling down, till someone told me to hold a weapon to balance myself, and handed me a wooden staff.

(Let me clarify something, I think that falling down as you're dancing is a great little flavor feature, especially since it doesn't inconvenience the dancer in any way. I hope they don't get rid of it, though I would like to see some kind of change happen that prevents dancers from falling down after they've reached a certain level of skill in the profession.)

But, as cool as it might look sometimes to dance while holding a polearm, it is a big stick that you're flailing around the room, and it look dangerous. I see other dancers hold vibroknuckles or pistols or even swords, just to keep their balance, but the flaw with this is that all of these things are potentially lethal weapons, and really shouldn't be just swung around willy-nilly in a cantina.

So there should be dancing items added that allow a dancer to holda non-weaponthat helps them keep their balance. Something like a long, flowy ribbon, or a baton, or a glow stick maybe. Something that looks graceful or exciting rather than dangerous.

I would simply LOVE props! Like rythmic gymnastic things (hoops, ribbons, etc.)

Brought the issue of props up to the Devs before and they posted their thoughts on it. Basically to recap they like the idea and do want to put stuff like that in the game at some point. It will be a while tho, its pretty low on their priority list so we arent' likely to see anything like that in the near future..
