Seriously, they say its not jealousy, but it is. There is a difference between just hating the look and thinking its overrated

Crystalline IS overrated.....the skin sucks imo.

But I think Guardian of the Hunt is underrated.

I recently started a new prophecies character, and, damn, I'd forgotten that nearly all prophecies caster weapons are animated. Some were very nice looking indeed - I've a weak spot for air and water wands, for instance - and all are basically ignored as they're all low-level.

Butterfly Sword and Split Chakrams.

These two weapons should be the ones that are overrated. They are just simply amazing in appearence.

Swords, personally i like the Tattooed Scimitar, because of the prismatic sheen on the blade changes color by the viewing angle. along with the adamantine falchion, which i like because it reminds of the swords from 300. Ive never seen a Fanged Sword, though.

Scythes, i think one of the most overlooked ones is the Elegant Scythe, its the only scythe that actually looks natural. I didnt like alot of the scythes they came out with for EotN, with the exception of the Saurian and Clockwork Scythe.

For Bows, i think my heart would go for an Azure or Jade Bow.

Some Spears i think are greatly underrated. due to the Voltiac Spear, i think the Demoncrest, Greater Guardian, and Serrated Spear are still pretty cool skins.

I like alot of the daggers, but i will say this, Storm Daggers are overrated.

I would have to say spiked club, just because it looks like the physical manifestation of painful.

Platinum broadsword is, regardless of how unrealistic it is, an absolutely beautiful blade.

And I think that split chakrams are also very underrated. Sure, they look a little grim with their natural dye but put some shine into it with a silver or, if you prefer, some life with another colour, then it really does look good. Plus, it's one of the more unusual weapons in the game. Technically, it isn't even a dagger.

I would have to agree, the longsword (Tyrian) is one of my favorite skins in the game.

I think its a little bit rainbow coalition(ish), but maybe thats why you like it.

I prefer just a regular tyrian sickle or longsword. Plain and simple.

Is the coolest hammer. Just look like one of those huge clubs japanese onis use.

Underrated items.
I.E something that doesn't go for +ectos when its R9.
Speaking of R9, I have a twin hammer R9.
I likes it =D
Oh, also the most underrated skin that I like that I can think of is the cane skin.
It looks nice but it drops so much nobody pays any attention to it >.>

Longsword: classy classic
Aegis (tactics - same as Malinon's Shield) : great looking shield, like something out of the movie Gladiator!

I like everything to be bright and vibrant. Guild Wars is a game where everyone is drab gray by default or black by pride. I'm the guy you notice. =)

The white Reaver is underrated? They (and Tyrian Hand Axes) sell like hotcakes!

Greater Glyphic Maul - cheap and common as dirt - but by far one of the best looking hammers out there

I love the Elegant Scythe. It's just so simple and, well, elegant.

Lotus staff is also very nice, my Necromancer uses a Curses one. It's very pretty.

I love my Kaolin Wand, don't think I've seen much desire for it in game.

Also, Aureate Aegis. My Paragon has a collector one and I think it just looks great, and it dyes amazingly well, too. I matched it almost perfectly to her armor.

Also, the good old-fashioned Domination Cane. It's just nice, sleek, and elegant. The very definition of a perfect Mesmer weapon.

I'll say the Dusk Blade and the original Tall Shield, the one you get from the first quest Devona gives you in pre.

Long Sword
Aegis/Shield of Wing
Runic Blade

All listed make for a perfect holy warrior, granted an appropriate armor set. Ah, those days when Wammos were good representations of that concept. Now that Anet introduced Paragons and Dervs that threw pala-wammos down the water...

I've always been partial to The Vengeance Seeker:

I love the detailing of the scales and teeth. The electric blue/green color is nice too.
