The Cutting Edge

[Rikimaru.7890]

The Cutting Edge is the Ascended specialization weapon of the Holosmith. Thing is doesn't it actually look worse than the exotic Holosmith's Sword? I mean it only differs from it by having a hilt, but if you ask me it looks better without a hilt. I mean ANET could have just changed the color or something, not to mention a metal hilt would not really protect you against a blade made of plasma.

 

Here are the links to both versions:

What do others think?

I think the hilt is cool, wish we could color the light though that would be a good differentiation between the ascended version and exotic and I could have a blue lightsaber huehue.

I'm still waiting for the cosmic knife from NV: Dead Money.

Meh. Not a big fan of either, personally.

[leviathan.2148]

I also like it more without the hilt but it's a matter of personal taste. I'll definitely use the basic skin with my main.

[Kaizoku.1298]

I absolutely hate the hilt and it's the reason I'm going to keep the normal one.

[Toolbox.9375]

Too many people will be using that skin and its non-hilted version, so I cannot in good conscience utilize either of them.

The upgraded version looks kinda dissapointing regarding its differentiation to the standard one, but the standard one is already pretty cool. So I'll go with the standard one and don't need to do the collection. B)
