why nobody talking about that new Dagger skin?

Dreamwalker Dagger Skin


man this looks awesome

[LucianDK.8615]

I am wondering if it supresses class swing animations like most legendary weapons and replacing it with a legendary specific one or not. Since it have a visible trail in the preview window.

Fractal Weapons have a trail of their own, but they still display the class animation below it.

[Jackson.9307]

Because Capes!!!!

 

I do agree though, it's a sick dagger that is glowy and has a cool design, has a cool unsheathe animation (broken blade emites light blade and hilt guard enveloped by light) and has a trail! Instant purchase from me. Glad it wasnt in the BLC otherwise I would've never bought it.

[Nilkemia.8507]

Good looking dagger. I'm considering getting it, but I don't use daggers enough to really justify it.

[Khisanth.2948]

It's not bad but it looks like someone accidentally put a sword into their box of daggers.

[Fueki.4753]

To me, it's rather ugly.

Also, it's too long for a **dagger**.

Oh look, another sword skin! Maybe it won't be oversized this time.

 

_it's a dagger._

[NanoEliteSixSixSix.8935]

That's not a dagger; that's a sword being held backwards (or upside down, I dunno how it works). It does look nice, though.

[MrForz.1953]

Well, it's a bright dagger. You know, stare at all those eyesores stacking auras/infusions and calling it fashion and that kind of style becomes mundane afterwards.

[HardRider.2980]

Legendary weapons now on the gemstore.

[LucianDK.8615]

But can you still see the class weapon trail under the swing animation?

[Teratus.2859]

Tbh it's a shame it's not a legendary..

 

It would make a very nice legendary dagger skin, specially since we've only got one ok skin (Claw of the Khan-Ur) and one ugly piece of scrap metal that imo qualifies as one of the worst and ugliest dagger skins in the entire game (Incinerator)

 

This Dagger/Shortsword skin is far more legendary like in design than both of the existing ones.. though Claw of the Khan-Ur does win out over having actual significant ingame lore and justification for being a legendary weapon, something that only a very small minority of legendary weapons can also claim.

 

Most other Legends either reference real world stuff that has nothing to do with Guildwars at all or they are just legends for the sake of being legends without any lore behind them at all.. and of course then we have the worst offenders that smear the very title of legendary imo... The legendary joke weapons.. of which the afore mentioned Incinerator belongs to imo along with Quip, HMS Divinity, The Dreamer, Moot and a few others.

[TheQuickFox.3826]

Never noticed it, probably because I'm not looking for weapon skin as I already got an incinerator to incinerate things. *Trogdor mode on*

[Game of Bones.8975]

Most GW2 weapons are overly large to show their details.

That's the problem I have with it, hence I am not going to purchase it. This game suffers enough already from too many ridiculously oversized skins. At some point enough is enough.

 

P.S. That skin would have made a _fabulous_ **sword**, though! So pretty and a prefect size for a sword.

The funny thing is, I went and looked at it again in the preview window instead of just in the gem store, and when holstered you can see that the thing actually has a much smaller blade bit that the big glowy part comes out of, so the realistically could have made the glowing blade more appropriately dagger-sized instead of the sword-length thig they went with. Oh well.

[Trise.2865]

It's a Sunsword. Neat.

[Eramonster.2718]

From what I can see. It has a nice lighting, faint aura like effect and a hint of trailing but not obvious enough to be noticed while running/walking. Personally, I don't like the hilt design.

[Sir Alric.5078]

I bought it right away. I wanted a cool dagger to use in combo with the Shining Blade, and this is better than what i was using before.

[Udolpho.1209]

It's an amazing dagger. Too bad there isn't an identical sword for sword/dagger combo. Also too bad it's not part of a BL weapon set.

[Coelho Nat.4697]

The dagger is beautiful. It is more beautiful than the legendary dagger 2nd gen.

It is sad that some sold gem weapons are more beautiful than the legendaries weapons. Another example are the gem rifles; they are far far far more beautiful than that ugly hms thing legendary (so ugly that nobody crafted it or, at least, I have never seen in the game).

[Gryphon.2875]

It's sword-sized, and the sword skin from the new map is dagger-sized. It's a mad world.

This soo much. It's a short sword not a dagger. Much like almost all the greatswords are surfboards.

[LucianDK.8615]

Just like Guts' Dragon Slayer sword from Berserk.
