That staff looks pretty neat.

The sword and staff look nice,don't really like look of that bow though.

Which part of the bow is supposed to be beautiful? And why call it "Darksteel" when it isn't DARK nor indestructible?

Bow looks - ok
Sword looks - Elegant, quite classy
Staff looks - not so good.

Think GW:EN heroes, here.... The Charr Ranger hero is going to look badazzz with that longbow! The staff is generic enough (kinda Frank Lloyd Wright -ish), will probably look sweet in the hands of an Asura...

Yah, the staff suits my mesmer.

He also got his 1 year birthday gift too just now. lol

My bow already has a +30 grip and a place in my rangers inventory, but i do wish that you could swap out the string. The sword is awesome - puts the IDS to shame many times over, but I'm not a fan of while enchanted. The staff is pretty much a hero weapon filler for all caster heroes, but it does look rather interesting.

I would so use the bow if it wasn't sundering

the bow and staff can be dyed
and the longbow is kicking ass in presearing

kickassery staff i must say(im playing a rit)

Complaining about the 15^enchanted damage mod on your brand new awesome sword? I've got the solution to your problem!

In all seriousness, I'm somewhat disappointed that they used that skin on a pre-order... I mean, if it's going to drop as a gold in GW:EN, I'll be as happy as the next guy, but right now, they only way you can get it is as a 15^enchanted. And I know that you can use it as a Conjure Frost warrior, but still...

Are these like the GOTY items in terms of being able to access them? That is, you can call them up for each of your characters but cannot sell, trade, or give them away? Or can you only request them one time?

as many times as you like. And the staff has a hidden bonus on it as well. XD its completely kick-arse

hidden bonus? o.O

I love the look of the bow, so much so that all my non-rangers will have it for pulling. I'm not too crazy about the mods tho, I'm more of a zealous barrager.

That staff is one of the most interesting animations I have seen in awhile in this game with the hour glass spinning around. They could have made it better though with it spinning in all directions instead of just a plain circle.

And I hope too that that skin for the sword drops because I would like to add a +5 energy sword of that type to my collection. That efect of glowing is what they should have done on the elemental sword for the fiery and icy sides.

The bow is ok.

I highly doubt you'll find any of those skins drop...none of the other preorder or game of the year pack weapons drop as loot.

I like the bow skin more now that I've seen it in game...and I agree it should look excellent on the Charr hero..

The animation for the hour glass staff is nice and the staff itself will be very useful for all of my casters I don't have greens for.

The glacial blade looks good with that glow animation and it'll be nice to have a sword for Koss...for some reason I just can't make him a hammer hero with the Rhino's Charge (which can have a hammer grip added now)...I don't know why I just don't like hammers...

Loving the staff. have put it on all my heroes that had dodgy staffs. Did the changes to the weapons to allow mods not affect these new ones?

OK, I've ordered the Prerelease package and entered the key. My question is after reading the posts here is: are the weapons available now and if so how do I get them? I've tried the /bonus but when I do that I get the weapons from the Nightfall upgrade.

EDIT: Please disregard. I see now that they've activated the new weapons along with the ones from Nightfall. Too bad they put the negative energy on the bow. Doubt if I will have much use for it.
