Never been able to get a max one with the modifier I need, or inscribable for that matter, but Broadswords have always been one of ym favorites. Right now I use the Tengu Sword and Shield of the Lion.

I have to admit, I LOVE the look of the Voltaic Spear and even though some people might think its stupid, if I ever get one, I'll make a Paragon (I plan on making one anyway, the spear will just speed up my making process lol)

One of my favorites is a Shadow Blade that my necromancer uses.

My ranger has a collection of bows but I can't really pick a winner.
She's quite some rare skins but I prefersome common skins.

...Am I supposed to be connecting any dots here? If so, you haven't given me any. Unless you're putting GW into that catagory, which is entirely false since ANet are the creators of everything in there.

I'm calling it "Korean MMO art" because it seriously all looks the same. Look at Lineage, Requiem: Bloodmare, Aion, Silkroad, then compare all of the armors and weapons. You'll see little variation.

To each his own. But Lineage, like WoW, is largely mocked not because the "weapons are so awesome" but that some consider them so extravagant to a point of ridiculousness. A bow that has a guider as big as your torso? Personally, I'm out. This is why I play casters in WoW.

I always liked Turai Ossa's Blade. Eternal Sword, but less eternal and more steel. I even +5E / +30HP'd one just for my Mes.

Turai's Sword, my current caster weapon of choice when 55hp'ing with my Necro.

Also the Tall Shield and Long Sword are just nice, Hand Axes as well. I'm just a fan of big, durable-looking weaponry. My armour however...

My complete list of favourites is a bit too long to post, but I love the Violet/Cerulean/Emerald Edges, and Chaos is my favourite axe skin. My favourite shields are Outcast and Gothic.

As for bows, Stormbow, Zodiac and Celestial > all.

I still like the Long Sword. So simple. But fricken HUGE big. Looks sweet in the hands of a female monk at the shortest height.

Eternal Bow. Elegant lines to it, classy look, without the jazz that's all over the Storm Bow (which I do like, though...)

As soon as I saw the thread title, the idea popped in my head, and I scroll down 3 posts and THERE IT IS!

Enameled Shield ftw.

Although, the nicest looking weapon in the game, imo, is the Emerald Edge.

Tengu weapons are pretty. I'm also fond of the Tattooed Scimitar and Cerulean Edge.

Shields? Umm.. Iridesent and Equine Aegises.

Also partial to Clockwork Scythes, and many of the Factions end-game skins. Prettiest endgame items in my opinion.

Tormented Recurve, Silverwing Recurve & Rotwing Recurve Bow
Draconic Spear

Droknar's Knives

Nicest looking weapon imo:
Ornate Scimitar, not very special or rare but looks awesome dyed black

Jade Sword & Shield of the Lion look nice together.

I also like Greater Guardian Spears, one of the more exotic looking spears in the game.

My personal favourite though is Shadow Bows.

That's why I think Shadow Bows are among the nicest looking weapons. No protruding spikes, filigrane or other useless additions. Just a simple looking weapon, where you would actually be able to fire an arrow with. (yes I know there are no bowstrings..)

That, and they go well with my Obsidian Armor.




But in the end, it's all a matter of opinion
