What are some of the coolest/best looking skill icons you've seen?

I personally like the one in my avatar and Mesmer's Channeling!

After looking at the icon pages, these are the ones that I found most appealing.

Well I hope you can clearly make out the man's left arm and head. Then just above the man's head is his right hand with which he is trying to hold shut the jaws of the tiger.

Kind of this position but with the body angled upwards:

I still can't really see it, DZ! I see the man's whole body (back of head, arms) but the tiger's face or w/e it is just looks deformed to me...

Yeah the Kurzick ones look wayyy better than the Luxon ones, but I still like Luxons better! Turtles ftw!

Especially the Avatar ones.

I have that as a keychain, in fact.

I also like those ones a lot.

Most of the Dervish, Mesmer, and Monk skill icons are very nicely done, in fact.

I only realised a little while back that the guy in the Ancestor's Rage icon has a little moustache.

I'm extremely fond of most of the mesmer ones, the whole manipulation thing with lots of light effects. I don't think anyone is going to mention Eremite's Zeal, so I'll just leave this here.

I've always liked the icon for Eremite's Zeal - looks epic. The flash of bright blue in the world of muddy grey/brown was always quite striking. Shame it took this long for it to be changed into a good skill!

I personally like the Dwayna's Sorrow icon, but I'm not sure what my favourite would be...

Edit: It's only when you look at these icons in some detail that you realise how amazing they all are
