Now I just want to make things clear here, I don't want to change the skill (it's not my best expertise lol) but the icon rather.
Maybe make it have some fangs or something? The icon has no relevance to the skill's effects whatsoever. It also has some rather disguisting "comedian builds" going on where it involves some biological fluids and such (to keep the younger minds guessing what it is lol).
Now before you criticize me, I want you to think about Whirlwind attack.
There was no reason to change the skill, it was perfectly fine before, if not better, so why NOT change this skill icon?
As mentioned by many others before:
"This icon is just dumb, it doesn't match the consice description".

To me, it looks like it fits. It sort of looks like blood flying through the air. Not really worth an update. I guess if you spend that much time looking at the skills instead of using them, it's fine, though.
EDIT: Now that I look at it, I just realized that it doesn't fit in with other Ritualist skills, but in my honest opinion, not really a priority update. Lets fix Signet of Spirits first, please.

They changed that, and they didnt even have a good reason to, because it looked almost the same when they were done.
But I also dont want to change the skills functionality, just the artwork, mkay?

I love the skill icon for Vampirism...

So kids making jokes about ejaculating means the icon should be changed? If so, there are a few skill names that need to be changed as well (Wild Blow, On Your Knees, Final Thrust, etc.).
I see nothing wrong with the icon, and as mentioned by Pony, it looks like blood splatter, which fits with Vampirism. Find something that NEEDS to be changed and maybe we can suggest it to Anet. I'd rather they work on bug fixes, skill balances, and if graphical issues, armor clipping.

I know people have been commenting on this for a while. But seriously... not A.net's fault people's Freudian minds go straight there. It's blood (vampires, get it). Rt skill icons are that bluish/white color.
People will always be able to make inappropriate comments. It's not A.net job to try to prevent that behavior from happening. It's A.net job to punish (ban) inappropriate behavior.

Yea, I know, but it doesn't relate to the skill, either.
It looks NOTHING like the skill's description.

Let's take a skill at random "Dodge This!" For instance
It shows a male warrior in glad armor standing there
Judging by what it does, it should most likely have someone attacking someone, no? Or at least his mouth open assuming like he is saying it.
Get over it, it's a symbol
Helix Dreadlock
It is a symbol, but if players are busy keeping an eye over the battlefield, they wish to use a skill on the dot, not taking the time to look around for a few seconds when it's an intense fight-or-wipe moment. What I mean is it should look REMOTELY like the skill, not random paint splattered on a box.

Or or or try this, memorize what vampirism looks like, the ONLY skills i've ever mixed up are "I am the strongest!" and Feel no Pain.
I sincerely doubt any high number of people actually have the kind of memory where they can't find a skill on their bar in time just because it's name doesn't look like the picture (Which vampirism is, Blood)

Then answer my question:
Why was whirlwind attack changed when the updated icon looked shittier?

The Air Revenger
They need to change Golden Fox Strike icon also (lazer nips)
but then they could change my favorite combo, final thrust -> eruption
also
Quick Shot -> "I ment to do that"
Quivering Blade -> "There's Nothing to Fear!"
"On Your Knees!" -> Drunken Blow -> Blackout !!!!!

It's like people are running out of things to suggest so they're picking at every single little thing.

I definitely agree with the camp that thinks that changing this particular icon is low priority. Having played the game for a while now, I tend to be familiar with what the skills on my skill bar will accomplish rather than what they look like. Changing that icon is not nearly as important as fixing bugs.
1. Signet of Binding can't do what it is said to do.
2. Signet of Spirits has spirits that sometimes just watch the fight.
3. ...and a couple of others.

icon changes are a joke, 0% need for that.
Theres lots of other stuff that needs to be fixed, instead of wasting time on icons people don't like.

The cumshot icon?
No issues with it here.

I dont think they really care about icons anymore , 0 need for that to be changed tho.

Look closely.
There ARE two fangs. The spurt of white stuff is jetting between them.
Icon changes are an issue under the bottom of the list.
