I myself had longed after getting a Crystalline sword,since beta but I myself personally think the Golden Phoenix Blade looks better. Not to mention the price of the Crystalline sword. (outrageous/rediculous)

People actually pay huge ammounts of real world cash to get a crystalline lol.

Well what do you think?

1.Golden Phoenix Blade skin?

2.Crystalline skin?

Just a simple little poll, stay on topic or else moderators will attack you!

GPB

but its not only bout the looks, its also about how rare it is, GPB is way less rare then a crystalline

Personally, I'm not too crazy about the Crystalline skin, I find it gaudy and unrealistic. The main reason why people want one, in my opinion, is because it's the rarest sword in the game. Phoenix Blades do look hawt, though

Rare or not, it looks like it's made of candy.

GPB all the way.

Anyone in Pre-Sear can get a crystalline blade "longsword". lol

I guess if I had to choose between just those skins then I would choose a crystalline because the blade skin is beautiful. I don't like that chicken-foot hilt on the phoenix blade... yada yada yada

Phoenix Blade.

People don't get crystallines because they look awesome. They get them because they are absurdly rare. They're a status symbol, pure and simple.

what about that longsword in presearing.. you can always pimp that- that dwarven axe is the only one seen that does'nt have a green or blue with the same skin- even the serpent axe has a green with the same skin in factions

I find a GPB is too small for a warrior. If it was longer and maybe a bit thicker, than I'd might get one. Crystalline swords are ok, but not my favourites. They have a wierd shape. My fav always has and always will be the flamberge. They're a hell of alot cheaper too.

It's true. They also deal 'blunt' damage, which a large number of monsters have a weakness to... I suppose they were trying to 'buff' hammers in PvE.

Ive never held a jite (however you spell it) It would make me feel like Elektra running around with one of those though (yeah I know she used sai's)

My Crystalline swords sit in storage while I carry a Vamp Flam and a GPB +5 and switch between the two.

I do like the looks of the flam (always have) and the long swords.

personally my favorite skin would have to be the crenellated swords




-on a side note; I got a crystalline sword from a chest in sf; but I could only get like 75k for it cause it had no natural dmg mod and no one really wanted the damn thing

Between the two, GOLDEN PHOENIX BLADE > CRYSTALLINE SWORD any day of the week.

Crystalline is just a status symbol, with its Butcher knife shape and fish scale texture.

Golden Phoenix Blade has a nice gold tint and inscriptions.

I'm not a fan of swords as long as your whole body either, so the GPB is my style

On topic; I like the Short Sword the best of all swords...I never liked things like the Crystalline Sword, Chaos Axe or Storm Bow..

If the Phoenix blade were to be larger, then I'd take it over any other sword. But because it's short, I'll have to take the Crystalline =/

Thanks to all the guru [mods]

TBH, i have enough cash for a Cristaline, but i'd never buy one, if you want a 15^50, well dont tell me the price, i mean, if i got 1 from the hoH chest then id keep it, but i prefer the GPB i have 3 of them w00t :P only 1's good though.

crystalline and gpb are the swords that look weird on warriors coz of their appearance. They look fragile, too blingy. They are better off displayed, hanged in your living room or placed inside a transparent container for everyone to see.

you want real warrior swords? Wicked blade, Fell blade, Brute sword, flamberge.
