This idea would look cool and add humor to the game, but might be weak since there are so many mele options already.

Polynesian-style Cannibals who use wood, iron and burning sticks to bash their enemies to death, and then cook their flesh for an energy boost.

Grimacing in the wierdest ways (think of totem-pole faces) and doing mesmerizing war stomp chants to scare their future meals is a big part of the Polynesian fighting style, and I could see Anet making such a fight look super cool.

Historically, Polynesians bake dead people/food of all sorts in buried ovens kept hot with volcanic rocks. Isn't this concept almost Diablo-ish evil?

Since Necromancers do a similar thing, maybe the Cannibal "bake dead" skill could buff the party with more energy.

An important thing is it would look cool, and be different, which might encourage new ppl and futher deferientiate it from other MMO's.

(Polynesians are very large. They are covered with tattoos. Males and females both wear skirts. They currently also use bush knives and sling shots, along with sticks of all sorts, to kill food. They love playing with fire, and twirling burning sticks. In Fiji, some can actually walk on burning lava coals without harming their feet somehow while in a meditative trance. White tourists can't, I figured out the hard way. Perhaps this profession could resist fire damage?)

It would be quite cool to see if they got a certain amount of health for each enemy that dies in there area.
