The platinum bow is definately cool, but the axe skins cannot compete with the chaos axe skin from GW. The chaos axe looks will always be the best

. But, if there was a crystalline axe, that would be pretty cool.

I have this nagging feeling i'm going to bankrupt myself trying to get a nicely statted amber or iridescent aegis shield next month... *sighs*

Rancour · Mar 29, 2006, 04:22 PM // 16:22

Commando, this is still GW...

Anyway, I simply can't wait to get a pair of those absolutely awesome daggers for my W/A. Plagueborn, Butterfly and Korambits are at the top of my list, but WOW. They're all awesome, except the Oni Daggers. Don't really like those.

But all in all, gorgeous work from the designers. They really outdid themselves, in my opinion. As mentioned, the bows weren't that lucky, but the rest rocks.

A huge congrats to the designers (and us, the players).

Yukito has a point as to why Warriors and to a lesser extent Rangers get the most stuff.

They need them to do their thing, casters don't

Rancour · Mar 29, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

Raxxman, if characters just needed to "do their thing", one could just reduce the number of weapons to bow, longsword, hand axe, runic hammer and wands/staves of all caster attributes.

It doesn't matter if the warriors get more stuff; they only need ONE thing to "do their thing". Warriors don't need 10 new axe skins, just hand every warrior a hand axe and BAM! Ready to go.

Saying warriors need items more than casters just isn't true. Casters need energy, warriors need to attack. None of them need more skins. Granted, if you pit a weaponless warrior against a weaponless elementalist, the elementalist will win because the warrior can't attack. But that doesn't mean warriors need more skins.

I feel casters could do with alot more cool weapons skins, even if I practically never play a caster myself.

Platinum Axe, huh? Don't suppose you could link the image itself- I looked through the thread and couldn't find it.

Actually, I also found a Bramble Flatbow, which looked exactly like the Bramble Longbow, so I didn't bother posting a pic. I wonder what the Bramble Recurve Bow will look like?

HawkofStorms · Apr 02, 2006, 01:04 AM // 01:04

I think that is the new "starter" armor for Factions mesmers.

HawkofStorms · Apr 02, 2006, 02:36 AM // 02:36

Derek, although you may consider yourself cool for your scams, I really do hope a.net doesn't.

Plazma Knight · Apr 02, 2006, 04:38 AM // 04:38

Snail From Hell · Apr 02, 2006, 05:04 AM // 05:04

Angel Develin · Apr 02, 2006, 02:23 PM // 14:23
