Swords have all the sweet skins...
rizzes
Swords have a bunch of sweet skins like fellblade, fiery dragon sword, crytalline sword (just to name a few) while axe has only 1 (chaos axe) and hammer doesnt have any. i mean they all have cool skins, but sword seems liek the only weapon with special skins
UndeadRoadkill
Don't like the serpent axe or mursaat hammer?
Zaxan Razor
Nope, so not true. Feat your eyes on this:
Ado
Gothic dualaxe to name another one.
sinisters chaos
i kind of have to agree, i mean there are a few nice looking axes, and like 2 or 3 nice hammers, but swords have MANY nice looking skins, i think this has changed in ch2
big papi
the above axe would be cool if it was bigger
i agree i think swords are best looking but its just and opinion question

dam zaxan, that is pretty sick. but what im saying is that its just metal, while swords are made of crystal and fire.
UndeadRoadkill
Throughout history, haven't swords always been the elegant, ornamental, ceremonial weapons, anyway?

I think Anet favors swords. It seems like there are a few better sword skills than axe and/or hammer. Now I haven't read through all the new Factions skills, so don't jump down my throat. I'm coming from the Tyrian point of view. Some examples are riposte and deadly riposte, and besides desperation blow why can't axes or hammers cause bleeding.
I can show any non-believers (in real life) that a hammer can cause bleeding.

IMHO, the Sephis Axe is, was and always will be the most beautiful axe.
arcanemacabre
Ahh yes, the Sephis Axe.... quite nice. I am really liking some of the Factions axes, but other than the Spiked Hammer (a personal favorite, which most definately would cause bleeding, IMO), I haven't seen any really nice looking hammers in Cantha.
I am still lost on a lot of people's infatuation with Serpent Axes. I mean really, it's not that great.

Wing's Axe (green item) is pretty nice.
unienaule
Glowing Runic Hammer anyone?
Raif Bahlaan
The 'spikey' War hammer looks pretty cool. I get asked what it is every time I go into a mission.
I love some of the new factions skins BTW.

I never liked the crystal and glowing stuff, my favorite Axe has always been the Summit Axe. Now with Factions I'm using swords, as the Gothic Sword is the best looking ever.

Uhh, casters have it good too man! Factions added some awesome skins! I got a zodiac skin the other day in an elite mission with my friends, and WOW, it looks cool. The new staff skins are cool.
Thallandor
@ Sidra, i dont have any of those, you can find them selling on the "high end" fourms:

Staves have plenty of skins, wands they added quite a few, and trucheons, yeah you right about that, barely any for those. Oh well.

Gemstone staff 
I don't remember from which collector i get it, but it's a 20/20 inspiration staff, and i saw a 20/20 domination one at another collector. I can show you in game, if someone want to see.

Celestial weapons are ugly. The Phoenix sword is nice.

I found this Wolf Hammer today... looks pretty nifty for a femme hammer warrior/ bunny thumper:

Although I did finally replace my monk wand with an +5 energy katana with hp mod and a perfect divine fav gold paper fan! Took only about 3 months for my monk to get a "new" look >_>;
Hunter Sharparrow
I would agree if factions wasn't out but now that it is, there are some awsome skins out now. What would be nice is some new weapon types like two handed swords and axes as well as one handed hammers. The damage and attack speeds would be different of course. Also why can't cains and wands have upgrades? Swords and axes are one handed, can be used with any offhand and can be upgraded but the wands and cains can't.
Cirian
I like the new necro wands and staves, there seems to be quite a few.
outferno
Whoa... I want the Celestial Sword and Pheonix Blade. Ridiculous.

Omnidragon42
Lets just put it this way: Factions gave us some beautiful skins for all weapon types, and I have to say that the Gothic Dual Axe, Golden Phoenix Blade, and Celestial Sword are absolutely amazing... I want them now.
TheShadowedBlade
It's not that the skins for swords are "better", it's just that most people like swords more in general. To most people, swords are just cooler than axes or hammers, thus the skins are thought to be cooler. In reality, both axes and swords (I guess hammer too) have well-desgined skins that someone put a lot of work into.
Gorla
I love the zodiac skin really much, in the PvP weekend they were available as ritualist staffs, wands. But without a good alliance i will never have a chance to get those by myself.

Look at my new Phoenix...Excuse my 1st grader handwriting, can't write w/ online pencils for shit, lol.
Yeah, the Phoenix I *HEAR* is quite rare. Wiki doesn't even have any info on it *yet*, but I do believe they aren't from Elite Missions or HA. The seller just told me that it's not from chests, but he didn't want to reveal where he got it. *silently thinks the guy is a jackass, but would probably do the same thing as well
P.S. The Merchant doesn't seem to think it's that valuable...lol.
