Coolness is relevant to the individual user. I know for a fact that a lot of people find the crystalline to be atrocious, while others love it.

Well, really if I had either, I would sell them, but if that is out of the question, I would take the spear (pulling maybe?)

Go with whatever weapon you can get with the mods, don't need to be fancy.

Go with whichever matches your armor. I personally favor the voltaic spear over the sword.

I think you should choose something that matches your armor. An image would be helpful, but there are additional ideas in the armor or weapons threads (screenshot).

That's pretty much what I think too. I don't like the crystalline at all (overpriced plastic weapons FTL) and the voltaic doesn't look too good with MY monk. Between both, however, I'd go for the spear.

My main monk's weapons:
- Gothic sword
- Chaos Axe
- Platinum Broadsword
- Greater Guardian Spear

My other caster weapons:
- Celestial Sword (necro)
- FDS (ele)
- Greater Sage Blade (ritualist)
- Greater Dark Scimitar (mesmer)
- Shadow Axe (female monk)

My fav ever:
- Gothic/Legendary sword.

voltaic. ranged weapons are good. throwing a spear every once in a while lets your heroes know what to do

My elementalist is quite partial to a Fiery Gladius which is what an ele sword should have looked like, but she's got a spear as well. Different weapons for different purposes, and as said take whatever fits your style.

Tip #3: Questioning about moderator action in public = deleted post, next time PM a moderator.

and to those with post's which have been deleted, and you know who you are, I direct you to the following page:

Best Sword in the game imho.

But if you really want to spend money, buy an old school req7 weapon

a req 7 is something no one in the party will know. a crystalline can be copied out at the pre searing long sword reward. but a voltaic spear dyed black, there's no faking that.

I don't like crystallines, so I'd have to go with the voltaic.

If I had both, I'd probably sell them and buy a Runic blade, since they look pretty cool. Or Greater Guardian Spear, as Witchblade said. But that's just me.

If you are heart-set on one of the two 1337 skins, then I would say go for Voltaic.

However, I might suggest skins such as katana, broadsword, runic blade, gothic dual, Violet, Cerulean, and Emerald Edges. The new obsidian blade looks quite nice. So many choices, so few character slots...

Well, my current Monk Caster is a Greater Dark Scimitar modded, 20%, +5e, etc etc.

My Dervish's running gear is a Fiery Gladus +5e 20%, and a fancy pantsy shield.

I would really like a caster Katana, or a caster Broadsword. (Hah, I have expensive tastes. D: )

Course, I also dig the Chaos Axe (who doesn't??), and the Runic Axe. But really, no other skin I really fancy as a caster weapon.

In my opinion a Shinobi Blade is the best looking caster weapon.
But from the choices given; Voltaic. Unless you can get your hands on that uninscribable +5e r13 Crystalline :P

I agree, the only caster sword my Ele really uses is a Fiery Gladius, my favourite since ive seen it. For other chars i then use others, so basically use which you prefer, if i were to advise i'd say Voltaic, since Crystalline looks like the produce of a poor glassmaker.

I like spears really on casters you have ranged attacks to interupt pesky trappers and what you lose in [skill]deadly riposte[/skill] you can make up for in [skill]shield bash[/skill] so I would go with voltaic too I guess if it really is a choice between the two.
