EpicName.4523 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 This game seems to have a huge focus on cosmetics. I try hard to match weapons and armor to the theme of a profession. For example, on a guardian, I use bluish colors especially if they can have a flame on them. Can you list a few items of each type you perceive to be great looking, while at the same time, matching the theme of a profession? For example, I really enjoy the look of elementalist-conjured weapons. They are, IMHO, better than legendaries. Greatsword Volcanus - best-looking greatsword. Looks amazing on a warrior since I connect "battle rage" to fire and anger. It fits for me. Caladbolg on any sylvari, especially rangers. Hammer Mjolnir - hands down gorgeous model that can fit guardian, scrapper, or catalyst. Devil-Rending Axe for revenant Sword Jormag's Breath - excellent for guardian or elementalist. Whispering Blade - purple and ethereal, perfect for a mesmer. Shining Blade is an honorary mention, but it is a legendary. The color palette seems to fit a mesmer particularly well, though. ....... Longbow Glacial Longbow on a guardian, Vermillion Longbow for a berserker (Rebirth looks good 2), Kudzu on a sylvari ranger Rifle The Predator on a deadeye (Blood Legion Longshot for a cheap alternative or Zafirah's Rifle from gem store), Eternal Forged Rifle for berserker, Arcane Marksman Rifle for an engineer. Staff Glacial Staff for guardian and support ele, OBLIVION, Sunscythe Staff, Suntouched Staff, Boneskinner Spire/Final Rest/ for necro, Stellar Spire for mesmer, White Tiger Staff for a daredevil...and a lot more. Honestly, if someone is actually interested I can add many, many more suggestions, but the idea was to look for ideas, not present what I consider the best.

blp.3489 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I just bought Dark Matter scepter and dagger skins for my specter, I think they are about perfect for a specter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 The profession is just one thing I might use as part of a character's theme, a lot of my character's aren't obviously associated with their profession (for example my ranger wears a lot of blue and purple). But there's some where the weapons match. My elementalist uses the Destroyer Dagger and Corrupted Shard, for a fire and ice theme, along with the Weaver's Antipodes (even though she's a tempest).

Randulf.7614 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I like my Moot for mace, but Braham’s is another one I really like Fav shield for me is the Jade Dragons shield from 2014 BL chests Fav hammer for me is the decade one Fav short bow is Champa and Champawat I love that Halloween focus which is the wriggling tentacle flesh thing. Well, not love, freaked out might be more correct… Pistols, I love the science ones. In fact the scientific BL skins are all really nice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riesz.7526 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I like elegant, sometimes simple, skins. Like: Cavalier Greatsword Cavalier Axe Privateer Rifle Privateer Scepter Privateer Greatsword Privateer Mace Glacial Sword Lord Caudecus's Sword Komalie's Sacrificial Blade True Mettle Bloodstone Pistol Bloodstone Rifle Cerulean Wand Aurous Wand ... and many more! I even continue to use some of these skins after I crafted Exordium, H.O.P.E., Astralaria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Storm.3046 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I also generally prefer the understated simplified appearance most of the time... One of the few 'over-the-top' exceptions, is a Revenant wielding dual-Firebringer swords... The fiery animations are great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggie.3184 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) Soo-Won for everything since they are the moistest. I don't care too much for the Shield/Focus/Warhorn though. Binding of Ipos and Howler. I don't have a favorite Shield that is in the game. Celestial Compass if it was a Shield Skin. For non Leggy Sword: Infused Katana, Dreamwalker Hammer: Soul River Hound Longbow: Golden Talon Shortbow: Shadow I guess. Axe: Devil-Rending Dagger: Tahkayun's Greatsword: Belinda's or Menzie's Mace: Illuminated Boreal (actually don't like many maces, wish there was an Ordinary Flail, a Kanabo or a Baseball Bat kind. Security Club would be cool if it wasn't so green.) Pistol: Any SAB Pistol Rifle: Crossbow (could have a lot more cool ones if they'd make unique sounds more often for guns) Scepter: Antonina Staff: White Tiger/Suntouched/Dreamwalker, tough choice Focus: Empowered Boneskinner Totem Torch: Spellfire or Magmatic Warhorn: All the SAB ones with Glitched probably favorite Shield: my arm Edited June 12, 2023 by Doggie.3184 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouse.7382 Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 Spoiler Axe: Astaralia Staff: Nevermore Shortbow: Dreamer Greatsword: Volcanos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Generally I pick the weapon based on what the character would look cool using. That said, I did like the Dwayna set enough that I changed my Elementalist's color scheme from teal/black to gold/blue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason.1083 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) That's a difficult question, because it's not just having weapons fitting with the profflfesion, they need to fit with the general aesthetic and color scheme of a character. Consider starting with the color scheme when you try to pick weapons and then everything else, since the color is what's more noticeable. That said, think about your theme, in my main that's inquest themed I use inquest mk II sword/shield for example. Both aesthetic and colors are perfect. You can often find weapons that way, and ofcourse always consider the weapons you get from the specialization achievements, if you use the color scheme each profflfesion suggests in it's own way.
