Fav Black Lion Weapon Skin?

[Jevati.4328]

I know they're expensive and not everyone has the gold to buy them off the TP or the currency to get them via tickets, etc.

 

BUT -- whether you've bought one, or several, or none... what's your fave Black Lion weapon skin?

 

I personally go back and forth about which one I like the best. I have to say, the current Equinox skins are super cool. I really like how the moon on the staff actually turns, so you can see a full moon and a new moon and the phases between. <3

 

Edited: Here's a pic:


 

[Thelgar.7214]

I'm old school. I really like the Sclerite weapons. I'm especially fond of the rifle.

 



 

[Rhyse.8179]

Gallant Longbow.

 

It's literally the ONLY high-res longbow skin in the game that looks like it could actually be a bow and not a piece of post-modern art with a curve in it.

[Eloc Freidon.5692]

Gallant skins are very consistently through the entire set.

 

Inquest Mark II weapons I can't decide which I like more. Except since you can't color them they're very limited.

[Ashantara.8731]

**Zodiac Longbow** without a doubt <3 (but only on males, as it is ridiculously scaled on females, like most weapon skins). [&AgEtrwAA]

[Blood Red Arachnid.2493]

There's only two of them that I've ever bought. The Lyssa skins have the same theme colors as my elementalist. The Inquest Mark II skins have a small, transparent shield that doesn't obstruct the view of my new holosmith.

[Dagger.2035]


I've always liked the Sclerite Sword skin.

[Ashen.2907]

The Stormbow.

 

Love it. An example of a GW1 to GW2 port done right IMO.

[Mea.5491]

None, I love the [Phantasm weapons](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Phantasm_weapons "Phantasm weapons") the most and I always use them when I can, I wish we had a full set. :( I would sell my soul for a semi-transparent and simple BL set like the Phantasm stuff (but in different color, maybe yellow/orange or whatever).

[Haleydawn.3764]

The entire Equinox set is stunning imo.

But to pick *one* fave skin, it’s got to be the Improvised Sceptre. There’s something daunting about that little dolls face, makes me think it’s ex-voodoo, it looked great on my voodoo themed necro at one point.

[Witch of Doom.5739]

I agree that the entire Equinox set is stunning. Wish I could afford them all, but I'm happy with the one I have so far.

Usually I like flashy weapons, but when I'm overtaken by a sense of extreme minimalism, the Jailbroken focus fits the bill.

[StinVec.3621]

Mine has been the **Pact Fleet** set - the greatsword in particular.

I also like the **Merciless** and **Glacial** sets.

Honestly, I like almost all of the weapon sets that are not:

* yet another gold colored set (partially or fully)

* yet another bone/bone-based set

* yet another set that would be very nice in all ways except it has silly ribbons hanging off of all the weapons

 

It is just a shame for me that so many of the sets are plagued with the aspects I noted above, so I have zero interest in at least a dozen weapon sets.

[Just a flesh wound.3589]

Since 1 have 18 chars I play with a different look for each that means there are multiple skins I like and use depending on the char.

 

Both some that come especially to mind.

[improvised dagger](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Improvised_Dagger.jpg): looks like a broken bottle. Great for a barbarian look.

[Glacial staff](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Glacial_Staff.jpg): looks like it’s made of ice and is a great staff for an Elementalist

[Fused Greatsword](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Fused_Greatsword.jpg): one of the first cosmetics weapon sets to be released, back in 2013.

And the whole [Dominator](http://dulfy.net/2016/03/08/gw2-dominator-weapon-skins-gallery/) weapon set, which I have 5 of.

[Danikat.8537]

If I had to pick a set it's probably the Improvised weapons, for the creativity and sheer strangeness of them. I don't use any of them because they don't suit my characters, but I love showing them to people.

 

In terms of ones I actually have my favourite is probably the Glacial Sword, or the Tempest Torch which IMO are both really pretty. Yes they're flashy, unrealistic skins but I like them and I have fun using them.

[Cragga the Eighty Third.60]

I like the glacial staff. For the most part, though, I had been stockpiling my black lion ticket scraps because there was nothing I liked much--which meant I was able to get 4 or 5 of those cool equinox skins. The Equinox Torch is particularly nice, though I rarely use a torch on any character.

This! Though I don't really use bows often right now.

 

Also, I'm really liking the equinox set overall!

Almost forgot to mention the Equinox set. I have picked up several.

[Tommo Chocolate.5870]

For me, it has to be the [Dragon's Jade Blunderbuss](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dragon%27s_Jade_Blunderbuss_Skin "Dragon's Jade Blunderbuss"). I was slightly amazed to discover that it's based on [a real 18th-century Burmese cannon](https://collections.royalarmouries.org/object/rac-object-33892.html "a real 18th-century Burmese cannon")!

I love the Phantasm swords (great and long) a lot as well. :+1:

 

[Linebreaker.7904]

Gallant greatsword (although I wish it was just a tad smaller).

Phoenix hammer.

Equinox shield.

Dragon King sword.

 

My favourite weapon in the game is probably the pirate needler/crescent though. Bows with a ship's figurehead? Yes, please. Plus the shortbow is the same length as the longbow.

Wait, really? That's so cool! I can see the resemblance from your link. =D

[Eekasqueak.7850]

The inquest MKII stuff pretty neat, I use the rifle on my deadeye. All the equinox skins but the axe are great and I currently use the staff. Hmm it'd be easier to name ones I don't like honestly.

[Edgy McEdgelord.4790]

Bloodstone Axe and Torch are honestly the most badass looking weapon combo for a A/T Firebrand. Period.

 

edit: wow, forum. that censor tho, I was just stating it looked really awesome.

[Ardid.7203]

MKII Rifle is that engie main weapon that looks good on asura that I was waiting for years.

Plasma Greatsword is just perfect for my necro. I love the wield/unwield animation.

Many shields look very good, but sadly I don't really use them on any character.

[Edelweiss.4261]

I like the glacial and equinox skins the most. I managed to get a single equinox skin. I ended up going with the hammer. From certain angles, it looks sort of like a great axe or scythe, so I love it! Most hammer skins do absolutely nothing for me.
