Question about Shadow Blade - Guild Wars Forums

Dire Conseqnce · Dec 13, 2011, 06:46 PM // 18:46

I have an old Perfect Gold Req 8 Shadow Blade. I hadn't played in awhile and while playing the last few days I noticed in combat the skin on the shadow blade completely changes.

I'm not sure what causes the change but the sword gets almost double the size, and turns a lighter gray with the space between the blade now completely closed off at the end.

Is this normal? I was not aware the shadow blade ever changed while in battle.

I'm attaching a screen shot.

That happens to every sword which has been casted with splinter weapon.

It's because of the Rit's weapon spell on you. I find it a bit annoying, personally. You spend a bunch of time, money, and/or effort to get the sword you want to go with your 'look' and it gets changed to something ugly.
(Not so annoying that I won't use Splinter on my Ra/Rt hero, though)
