Talk:Focus

Am i the only one that thinks this looks like a laser? :P --AlbinoAce 13:41, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Most look like some kind of energy weapon, some look like electric torches, some look like small shields, but the most common design looks like a cowbell attached to a bent stick. Incredibly disappointing after the cool designs in GW1. 73.86.190.154 18:07, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Related Traits

Can traits be listed that affect skills used by the Focus even if they don't list the focus specifically? I am thinking of Blind Exposure (Guardian Radiance) which buffs applications of Blind, and one of the Focus skills applies Blind. I'm happy to do the work but don't know if it's acceptable.

Seems like the skin in the picture could be a reward from a destroyer weapon in HoM? am i the only person who sees the destroyer in it?

If youe idea of destroyer has nothing to do with rocks, and everything to do with glowing red auras, then yes. Eive Windgrace 15:23, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it looks like it is made out of steel Venom20 12:55, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Weapon Locking

Do we speculate (or perhaps have an article) that makes mention on how certain professions will be unable to use these? For instance, will a focus drop only for elementalists, or will they drop for casters? Venom20 12:57, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Weapons are no more restricted to 1 profession. If your profession is able to wield foci, you'll be able to equip any focus that drops. Chriskang 13:03, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure that answered Venom's question, but to give it my best shot; we have no idea how loot will function in GW2 yet. I would assume all weapon types drop for all professions. Eive 13:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Phoenix

Isn't Phoenix from a focus, the elementalist summons it from the focus? Shadowed Ritualist 19:51, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Looks possible, but not confirmed... ,,"Klumpeet",, 19:52, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Pluralization

What do we feel like going with? Foci or focuses? GWW uses focus items, but that doesn't fit the system used here. Venom20 17:50, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Focus for the article, Foci for the category. :) - Infinite - talk 17:52, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I was leaning towards foci myself, but apparently both pluralization terms are acceptable. Venom20 17:53, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

It helps when you take into account that focusses is not the plural of focus. - Infinite - talk 17:54, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Foci. Eive 17:56, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm going to go ahead and create it under foci, even though it is premature to cry consensus. However, according to these sources, foci and focuses are both plural forms of focus. Venom20 18:03, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Listing known foci in game?

Where can we start listing the types of foci we found in game and their cost, sell price, attributes, power etc...whatever is relevant? Yumiko ^,~ 15:11, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
