My Mesmer's getting to that stage where he can actually start -omg- dying items. I'm using an IW build, and once I get ahold of my last two Droks' pieces, I'm going to be in the market for cool-looking weapons. Methinks a Chaos Axe's going to be niiiiice....

What's your favorite weapon or item, based -entirely- on looks?

Starsky-sama · Apr 03, 2006, 02:22 AM // 02:22

purely on looks.

have to say fds/ids. it's animated.

Depends. Serpent axe maybe? Gotta remember, if you're running IW, the actual damage on the weapon doesn't matter. The +20% enchant mod is nice though.

Personally, IF I EVER bothered with IW (I'm a slow learner and don't know how to use illusion) I"d go for a long sword though, it suits my mesmer

Valerius · Apr 03, 2006, 02:39 AM // 02:39

Mursaat Hornbows, Mursaat Hammers, Shadow Blades, Chaos Axes

I remember... the thread's not about IW, by the bye. Just weapons in general. IW was just an example.

Mursaat bows are awesome...

Dwarven Axe, Longsword... I *love* the blade on a crystalline sword, but the hilt looks like crap. I'd do backflips for a crytalline axe. And it sure would be cool if they would add more animations like on a fellblade.

Nevin · Apr 03, 2006, 03:18 AM // 03:18

I like Flamberges, they look sweet and they're not very common amongst sword wielders.

My Mesmer sporting a Flamberge for his IW build...

Best weapon in game though... Definitly the Willcrusher, the texturing and modeling on it is just amazing. Its so evil and sinister looking.

My Mesmer with Willcrusher for his Domination build...

Big_Iron · Apr 03, 2006, 03:19 AM // 03:19

Stormbow, but I gave mine away because it was crap.

lord_shar · Apr 03, 2006, 03:33 AM // 03:33

Crystalline is my favorite for looks:

...followed by fellblades and chaos axes.

Inureface · Apr 03, 2006, 03:34 AM // 03:34

Eternal Bow, Victo's Blade, Mursatt Hammer, Chaos Axe, Willcrusher

Swampgirl Inez · Apr 03, 2006, 04:11 AM // 04:11

I personally like the hand axe/white scythe. There's just something about my little bitty warrior girl carrying a huge pointy stick almost as big as she is.

Murder In China · Apr 03, 2006, 04:27 AM // 04:27

Sword: Wingblade
Axe: Cleaver (Cantha Style)

If you're in PVP any item like that is going to scream IW mesmer. Go for something nice and discreet.

lg5000 · Apr 03, 2006, 05:00 AM // 05:00

If you're in pvp, wouldn't any weapon minus the short sword indicate IW? And personally, if you carry a short sword, are a mesmer, and have an enchant on you, I'm going to guess IW anyway, cause I'm smart and forget that the hod sword is around...

In that case, they should make a sword that looks exactly like a Wand or staff... That would be sweet.

I like my IDS because its useful(elemental dmg > warriors) and yes... animated.

I don't really have a favorite axe.

Rightious Maul. Or Twin Hammers... Or Mursaat Hammers. Hammers just look awesome.

Dead Bow (zomgwtf?)

Don't have a favorite staff or wand.. or offhand... or shield...

Ira Blinks · Apr 03, 2006, 05:15 AM // 05:15

my favorites are probably rinblade and brute sword. They look pretty similar except that rinblade is smaller and has pommel on it. Shadowblade looks pretty cool to.

xXa1 · Apr 03, 2006, 05:27 AM // 05:27

i'd personally wield an ogre-slaying knife on my IW if i had one. a small dark short blade befits the "stab in the back attitude" often exhibited by the noble aristocracy to which the mesmer supposedly belongs to.
