Have you seen the [Crystalline Dragon Wings](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crystalline_Dragon_Wings_Backpack_Glider_Combo "Crystalline Dragon Wings")? I think they'd work with a full radiant/chaos set.

A realistic (or accurate to biblical descriptions anyway) depiction of some archangels could be difficult in GW2, or most games for that matter. For example the Seraphim, which some traditions consider one of the highest ranks of angels, apparently have 3 pairs of wings - one on their head, one on their torso and one on their legs/feet and according to some descriptions are covered in eyes, even under their wings. (Renaissance painters apparently decided to tone it down a bit, sometimes even just giving them winged helmets and shoes instead of actual wings, because apparently accuracy was less important than not freaking people out.)

Thanks for the advice but I'm looking for wings that match the Chaos theme if you know any?

 

Sort of a celestial glow vibe to it... Those wings you offered may have that glow but I run an extremely low end PC and wouldn't know if they did.

I came to the conclusion that those and the PvP legendary were the closest I was going to find at this point of time

I agree. Wings are not only unoriginal but I cringe so hard when I see a huge Greatsword or Staff clipping right through them. :/ Yuck.

There's nothing "original" about any accessories in this game. Everything created has been done in other games or other forms of media. Just because you like something not as popular doesn't mean it's better or "unique".

Please no! I have so many chaos skins unlocked, but I won't use any of them, because they are awfully bright. Now imagining someone in front of my eyes, burning my eyeballs to ashes, is not a pleasant thought. There are too many big, bright, blinding, sight-blocking back items (and gliders) already that truly impair other players' vision - I don't need any more of these.

I like something not as popular? False. I like the Wild Magic backpack and it's crazy popular. I see it on nearly half of the people in Mistlock but I still wear it because it's small, has no clipping issues with my weapons, doesn't cover up my character's back and it's something I haven't seen in other MMOs. -shrugs-

Still collecting statuettes for this one. For pretty much the same reason. Finally my Ad Infinitum will cease to be hidden.

Shield looks pretty good as a back skin but would really love Chaos wings to complete the look and commit to a new Norn character

And as for the wings looking a little dull in comparison... Might be best to drop the back skin altogether I think until / if we ever get the wings/back skin to complete the look..
