Guild Wars 2

I am starting to pull towards the torch but they all seem to be just sticks on fire. Maybe a bit different at the tip but nothing really changes. Anyone know of any torches that are fun looking?

The HoM torch is kind of cool.

That is neat looking but I only have 20 HoM

Maybe take a look at the Aureate Sconce?

Berkut.2837:

Maybe take a look at the Aureate Sconce?

Does that one look different once equipped? It looks a bit like most of the torches on wiki.

What are you looking for, exactly? Something besides “a stick on fire” obviously, but do you have any ideas more specific than that? Something with a mystical flame (instead of a normal colored flame)? A mechanical “torch”? Are you fine with a normal torch as long as its decorated beyond just a stick?

I tend to prefer the mechanical torches personally. Steam Brand is my favorite low-level torch, and I recently picked up a Dredge Lamp which is pretty nice.

If it’s the fire you’re uninterested in, then I’d go with the Steam Brand or Dredge Lamp, as Electro suggested. The Verdant Torch and Warden Torch (and Nightmare Torch?) appear to have a sort of glow to them, rather than a flame. They’re also made of plant, which is pretty cool, I suppose. The Glyphic Brand and Pirate Brazier (skull on a stick!) are also worth a look.

Aww I forgot about the verdant! I will check out the other ones as well. It just seemed every torch I picked up was fire on a stick lol I am not sure what I am looking for just something more interesting?

This torch is pretty cool, and is unique looking.

That one is pretty cool.

I looked at that one.. a bit out of my reach atm lol but it is neat.

Interesting, huh?

Hmm… the Lionguard Brand is kind of neat. The head of it is a candle encased in glass, and the glass is actually transparent (and also doesn’t preview properly, have to actually equip it or look at screenshots). The only problem is that the flame is kind of wierd and at certain angles doesn’t appear to actually be on the candle, but rather will appear off to the side. Probably not really noticable in actual use, but if you do a lot of rotating around your character at close range for screenshots or just to look at your character it might bug you.

The Ebon Vanguard torch is similar, with the candle in glass, but the flame on it is even worse at appearing off to the side (and its pretty difficult to see at all most of the time, really). Kind of looks more like a glass on a stick because of how hard the flame is to see.

Both of those also have the normal torch sound effect to them, which is kind of silly. Hearing a roaring flame from a little candle. Again, something that may or may not bug you.

Ok ty I will look at those as well

The torch that the Pirate weapon karma vendor sells is tight! I can’t remember the name off hand…. it is a flaming skull.

I’m using the Pearl one at the momentent, because unlike most of the pearl weapons, its actually kinda cool.

I also am eyeing the ebonhawke torch, but then again I like most of that set .

Tastes differ, so your best bet is really just a tour through the Gallery of Torches on the wiki.

Fractal torch has a white/blue flame with a white glow around the entire torch I would put it as the second best looking torch under the legendary imo.

wiki has galleries of most skins. Here is the torch page: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gallery_of_Torches
then there is the reddit page of preview codes for named weapons (some on wiki, some not); copy code in browser, paste in game chat (guild chat, to not bother too many random players) and click the link in chat, then pick preview from drop down option. http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/10weip/list_of_named_exotic_weapons/ in the comments below is a gallery of named exotics too. particle effects are not often shown in images, but with searching a specific weapon name, you may get lucky to find other images with effects showing.
