I'm just curious what your opinions are of the best looking spears. I need some help deciding on what to get next.

Demoncrest!

The most common one, the Voltaic, doesn't look like a spear at all, makes no sense that it has the ability to fly

HYAHHHHH!

VS. Some people doesn't like cause they cannot afford it and some people doesn't like it cause they're in love with oldschool melee stuff. Hats off the best looking spear in game.

Serrated Spear or Draconic Spear are the best looking in my opinion.

http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/5164/spearsg.jpg Because the old school prophecies/factions art puts anything from NF and eotn to shame. Theres a lack of decent spear skins because of rarity and artwork, VS was good but its old news and demoncrest is too plain looking. Im gonna go out on a limb here and say Imperial bc last time I looked at it I thought it was pretty good looking. Draconic gets second because I think its neat lookin.

VS isn't bad; I've given Mow the honour of using that spear, but I've grown to like Suntouched spear. It looks real, dynamic and, dyed black, is a pretty damned sexyspear.

Tormented Spear... followed by Serrated and Undead spears...

And VS is just plain ugly, and has no aerodynamics whatsoever.... although, many of the Guild Wars' "spear skins" are just Halberds that characters throw (??!).... no logic...

Most spears look pretty damn ridiculous.
The best ones are some of the more sane looking ones; the Tormentor's and Brass Spears are probably at the top.

All questions like this should be banned !!!
Seriously tho - these questions dont actually help , if you asked 100 ppl their views on armor/weapons etc you will get many diff answers and if they had to give reasons you`d get 100 diff reasons.
The most common reply is - regardless of what others say , in the end you will only choose what You like.
When in battle does anyone give a toss what weapon someone else has in the team ?
It wouldnt matter to me if someone had a naff skin weapon as long as the weapon did its job.
The only real and correct answer would be to look up the type of weapon on wiki and go through its skins.

I remember one guildie who loved the gladiator armor but to the rest of us it sort of looked a bit gay ( no offence intended ) and the sort of thing worn in bondage films , but regardless of our views ( and manbra comments ) he stayed with it because he liked it.Yes he liked it , even tho we hated it so as an example given - you will have to choose yourself.
Now im bk off to get therapy after recalling that incident .

I'm currently using a voltaic spear but I have really begun to not like it at all. Its just way too big and flashy/shiny . I'm thinking about switching to something that looks more like an actual spear (like the banded spear), but i payed so much money for my VS and I don't want to have wasted it...

My favorites are the Tormented Spear and Draconic Spear, I still use Hidesplitter's Spear which dropped for me the first time I went through Rragar's Menagerie. It's pretty rare too as Rragar's is not easily farmable. I'd also like to give a shout out to the Mursaat Spear... it's held together by magic, how cool is that?

Dislike the Voltaic Spear and other far-too-large spears as others have already mentioned. I have one that has never been used.

For more common skins I'd suggest the Brass Spear and Crenellated Spear, they look nice and are similar to real-world spears... also the Banded Spear, it looks like a harpoon.

Oh yes, I've spent a good portion of the game with a nice pronged spear and moved onto Oppressor, which is very nice. (fu Cuil)

Also, a good looking spear is the Mallyx's Cruelty

What the heck does an "Imperial Spear" look like? I found images of sword, axe, and sheild, but was unable to locate any others.

1st choice would be the Draconic...I love the look of it as a dragon. 2nd would probably be the Destroyer Spear. The Serrated Spear just looks dangerous, would hate to have a run in with that one.

I think spear skins are fairly poor in comparison to most weapons and would go with the more functional looking ones being best

Draconic and Serrated, hands down. Undead (from the BMP) is a good runner up. Asuran's not too bad for a caster.
If I wanted something that actually looks like a spear, you know a weapon you kill things with, I'd pick a Brass Spear. (Or Windblade, but that's ugly.)

VS is too gaudy to have ever looked even acceptable.

It may be just my imagination, but the Undead spear seems like the only non-flat-headed spear which is why I picked it as 1st choice (along with it's smaller size).

VS is kinda ok.... too sparkly imho, and too mainstream, and it also looks like a pike, or a halberd more then a spear.

My avatar on forums is purely artistic show, if you ever meet my monk in game; you'd see she uses a Tormented Spear

Guild Wars' Spears' include many skins that actually resemble Pikes or Halberds

Halberd vs. Pike vs. Spear:

So what were the typical uses of these three types of long weapons?

Spear - Throwing weapon. Knife onna stick. Used in war & hunting. May be fitted with a crossbar at the top, to keep enemies from forcing their bodies up the shaft and (possibly) doing nasty things to you.

Pike - similar to a spear, but longer. No throwing. War weapon only. May have a hook attached for yanking knights off their horses.

Halberd - Hybrid between a Pike and a Battleaxe. War only. Very nasty in a fight. Most commonly has a hook.

Also: Lance - long spear-like Pike, used from the saddle of a horse.

So when I said spear, I actually mean skins that actually closely represent spears.


EDIT: I might as well make a new picture... glorifying her's Tormented Spear and a mini MOX.
