My Mesmer's getting to that stage where he can actually start -omg- dying items. I'm using an IW build, and once I get ahold of my last two Droks' pieces, I'm going to be in the market for cool-looking weapons. Methinks a Chaos Axe's going to be niiiiice....
What's your favorite weapon or item, based -entirely- on looks?

Depends. Serpent axe maybe? Gotta remember, if you're running IW, the actual damage on the weapon doesn't matter. The +20% enchant mod is nice though.
Personally, IF I EVER bothered with IW (I'm a slow learner and don't know how to use illusion) I"d go for a long sword though, it suits my mesmer

Mursaat bows are awesome...
Mournblade
Dwarven Axe, Longsword... I *love* the blade on a crystalline sword, but the hilt looks like crap. I'd do backflips for a crytalline axe. And it sure would be cool if they would add more animations like on a fellblade.

I like Flamberges, they look sweet and they're not very common amongst sword wielders.
My Mesmer sporting a Flamberge for his IW build...
Best weapon in game though... Definitly the Willcrusher, the texturing and modeling on it is just amazing. Its so evil and sinister looking.
My Mesmer with Willcrusher for his Domination build...

I personally like the hand axe/white scythe. There's just something about my little bitty warrior girl carrying a huge pointy stick almost as big as she is.

If you're in pvp, wouldn't any weapon minus the short sword indicate IW? And personally, if you carry a short sword, are a mesmer, and have an enchant on you, I'm going to guess IW anyway, cause I'm smart and forget that the hod sword is around...

I like my IDS because its useful(elemental dmg > warriors) and yes... animated.
I don't really have a favorite axe.
Rightious Maul. Or Twin Hammers... Or Mursaat Hammers. Hammers just look awesome.
Dead Bow (zomgwtf?)
Don't have a favorite staff or wand.. or offhand... or shield...

my favorites are probably rinblade and brute sword. They look pretty similar except that rinblade is smaller and has pommel on it. Shadowblade looks pretty cool to.

i'd personally wield an ogre-slaying knife on my IW if i had one. a small dark short blade befits the "stab in the back attitude" often exhibited by the noble aristocracy to which the mesmer supposedly belongs to.
Cherno
While not specifically about IW, I knew on my mesmer that I would be using that build at least to try at some point. All through the game, I kept the low leveled rare skinned quest rewards to use for the build: There is a crystaline skinned longsword, a serpent axe skinned, a dwarven axe skinned item and I got a low level tribal axe dropped that I kept. Ooooh, ^^^ ogre slaying knife another nice suggestion.
My favorite thematic weapon is a firey dragon skinned hornbow that I use on my ranger. It has an enchants mode for conjure flame when I wear my drakescale.

I just wish they would do a bit more with caster items, (rods and staffs). I just can’t really get excited about any of them.
I mostly use Wenslauss Faith staff, which, being kind just looks like a brown stick.
Favourite looking sword is the Fellblade.
