Guild Wars 2

I’ve recently reached level 80 with my Elementalist and was really looking forward towards sinking hours upon hours on obtaining different sets of gear.

But once there, I’ve almost no desire in obtaining any of the items that’s currently in game – except for the Citadel of Flame (which seems to be a very commonly bought set) gloves and shouders. Why’s that? Every piece of armor that I’ve seen is a work of art, why am I only happy with these 2 items? The answer is simple and childishly so.

They’re on fire! Spell effects in general is “What I miss in the Cosmetic Gear.” What would one rather want as a reward after hours spent on obtaining it – The Ghastly Greatsword as it looks at day or at night? I’d rather have a level 1 dagger with a spell effect on it than any of the daggers gained from Dungeon tokens.

Just thought I’d share this idea and see if people might agree, or disagree.

Opinions?

I would like to say i disagree, but the ghastly grinning shield on my back is by far the only one for me. And i’m using an orian pistol for the drops of water effect. So yeah, i do like effects. I think weapons with no effects need to stand out allot more tbh to make their worth.
