Guild Wars 2

I am not fun of snakes myself but I got this idea and well here it is, please excuse me for bad drawing, I am not a good artist.

Viper
A dagger with a snake on its hilt that connects to blade.

Graphics
When equipped snake moves on your arm and leaves the blade pure silver
Dagger has a trail which is poison, whenever you swing it you leave poison behind
You leave poison as you run, this is the footfall effect
All dagger projectiles are now Viper instead of basic skill effect

Why not have the snake head as the blade point? Then it can bite the foes.

Doesn’t look very legendary. Not to be rude, but I would hope to see way more interesting things on them.

I agree. Still, good job, and thx for sharing it to us! Don’t stop and keep the good work!

Perhaps green slithering aura?

Thats something I want to see in GW2

With a blade as long as these http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Centaur_Dagger
Currently my most favorite daggers, as they are by far the most longets one of all currently and kind of look more like “Short Swords” basically due to their length (as thiefs are crrently sadly missing the option of dual wieldign swords what they hopefully get one day together with some kind of elegant looking martial artistic fast paced sword dance skill)

But also daggers similar to these would be awesome a legendary dagger inspirations

^ or this for example for an Ascendant Dagger, as it looks very stylish with its long blade

These would be also awesome as daggers (especially when dual wielded in a pair)

Its really time that Anet makes some kind of large scaled Design a Weapon Contest again so that we can show ANet again, how good designed weapons look like that really look awesome, cool and in a kind of way epic from artist that know how to hit the taste of the people which like to see epic looking weapons that make your jaws fall down only out of their epicness when you just look at them…

Yes I know, there are also alot of people, which like all of these basically plain simple (and boring looking normal daggers with no effects and no extra vagancy in their blade designs ect), but for the sake of god, Anet, give those weapon fanatist that love unique looking epic unique weapons something that fullfills also this favorings of weapon design

There are so many ways of how you can make weapons look really interesting and special, be more creative please.
When just alot of artists out of the world can create such cool looking weapon designs like those examples I’m postign here, I’m 100% sure, that Anets art team should be able to do something like this too…

and if really not (what I just don’t want to believe), then give at least all of us creative people out there the chance with weapon design contests to show you what we like and would love to see ingame by sharing over that contest our arts with you so that some of them might find their ways into the game, just like you did several times for GW1…

It really astonishes me that we haven’t seen over the first year not already some kind of community contest, where you did incorporate your community alot more oftenly with such mini projects in forms of contests together with weekend events ect.
These community contests are a real great way of how anet could let their community become a bigger part that could influence how the game changes over time.

That being said, I’d also like to see all of the missing GW1 contest weapons/items…
Being implemented into GW2 (for example in the shop or as special rewards for living story’s meta events)

This I’d also like to see as daggers

Why is it that we see so often alot of very cool dagger skins just only in like Offline RPG’s and very oftenly compared to MMO’s there they just suck and do look much less epicly, than for example swords or greatswords like here in the case of GW2.
I’m just wondering myself.

I hope GW2 will see in future more flashier animated dagger skins with for example elemental effects.
As example like daggers that are ensouled with wind spirits and have some kind of wind aura around them similar to that of the windcatcher back item or one that is ensouled with lightnings like the lightningcatcher..

we have already this lightnign legendary sword… should be hard to make something similar looking for daggers that also looks like a dagger and not liek the sword liek some kind of high tech something that just looks total crazy and weird

However, sometimes I start to believe also, that just my expectations of cool weapon designs seem to be just too high for GW2 or just my personal taste xD

Yeah totally agree with you, and some kitten nice skins you have there. As a legendary i would love to see a dagger out of shadows moving like a flame. Would be probably more flashy than an incinerator you can only spot by the flame trace. Only “spottable” dagger atm is the jormag ice thing or whatever it is called.

Great concept, good for an exotic 300g dagger but not a legendary
