Guild Wars 2

I was running around doing my own thing one day when I encountered this beaut. Does anyone have more screen shots? For instance wielding the weapon in the shadows? It is a bit expensive, but man this thing looks good!

Can’t say I’m crazy about how it looks. Which one is this exactly?

It is the Ley-Line Axe

One of the ley line weapons.

Thanks. http://dulfy.net/2014/07/15/gw2-ley-line-weapons-gallery/

Code is: [&AgEG+gAA] if you want a better preview in-game.

I think he knows the skin name, the name of the file he added is “Ley_Line_Axe_Skin.jpg” haha

OP is asking for more detailed pictures, since the wardrobe preview isn’t perfect.

Yeah I’m looking for in-game screen shots in different environments if you have one

I know not everyone will agree but my favourite is the Sylvari racial t3.

I own Frostfang, so I am of course biased. I love its on-hit FX; makes it feel really devastating. I’m also partial to the Mistforged Axe and the Corrupted Axe.

Its not ingame yet but..

sharp looking, functional looking AND without annoying particle effects yet still with a hue of magic to it? Colour me impressed…seems a-net can do that stuff afterall… 10\10 will get

Thank you for the images! Those are awesome too. But I have to admit that the ley line is just so much better imo. I don’t understand what it is really, maybe it’s the nature aspect of it or the mesmerizing color of the glow. I’m just hoping to see it in action.

I think frostfang is amazing despite not owning it, but then again I’m pretty biased when weapons involve one of these things:

- Elementally attuned(lighting/fire/ice to name some)
- I love anything dragon themed

Though saying this it’s weird that i’m not interested in Bolt or the jade weapon skins XD

Finally anet is not coming up with creepy crawlie plant skins… that axe and mace look amazing like daedric

I mostly love em for black-red colors. Also dat hammer..Juggernaut “staff” looks like a joke in comprasion.

Can’t w8 to see all new skins coming with HoT

Derailed, but those images are amazing! Wow!

Seriously though does anyone actually own this axe?

I’m a fan of ol’ “faithful” myself. Cause you know, its actually an axe

This is and has always been my fav axe lol

Scoobaniec.9561:

I have my eye on this axe the moment I watched the PoE.
It is one of the best looking axes they’ve yet to create.

And I’m pretty darn sure these series will be on bl weapon store for 1 ticket on the release on HoT.

Scoobaniec.9561:

the backside of the axe looks a bit too big, but otherwise it’s a very good skin. i hope the other skins of that set look similar and arent gonig to be random, huge chunks of black matter.

Would love to see the dagger/scepter/whorn of that set.

Same thing here.

Did anyone want to upload a picture of Frostfang?

Here you go. And a bonus Howler.

It’s difficult to see in the first screenshot, but the arm that holds Frostfang is encased in ice.

Personally i dislike frostfang as every other ice weapon, not olny in this game but in general. Ice weapons looks silly in places like a desert.

A lot of things look silly. Like a bow that shoots friggin unicorns. I don’t really care, as long as I personally enjoy the way something looks. Desert or not.

Different opinions, diffrent tastes I am more into fire stuff in general and actually..it fits charr unlike ice ones that are created for norns.

Of course. I like to run a sort of “frost knight” look with my Sylvari (glint’s gaze mask and matching blue glow) so Frostfang is a perfect fit for me.

How about lightning and fire weapons in the rain? XD

I prefer the fractal, frostfang or mistforged hero’s axe. The fractal skin and effects are subtle, but the mistforged just looks so sleek. And only in-game skins so they do require some effort to get.

All these pictures are real nice. Anyone have any more pictures of the Ley-Line one?

Frostfang is my fav Axe. Woulda crafted it if my Thief could use it.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Aetherized_Axe_Skin This Axe is cool too. XD

The Blade Spins like a Saw.

Elegant, sharp-looking, stylish, I like this one the most http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Dreadwing

Phoenix axe looks pretty awesome.

Not sure about lightning weapons. Never used one personally. As for the fire weapons in the rain;

I think the silence on that may be indicative of its unpopularity.

Chaos axe, best axe.

I’ve always been an admirer of the Chaos Axe myself, along with the Stygian Axe and the Primordus Axe (close resemblance to the Destroyer Axe of GW1).

The Chaos Axe is (unfortunately) bought, either with gems —> gold —> TP, or by getting enough BL tickets. The Stygian Axe is a freebie skin from the Hall of Monuments, provided you acquired 28 HoM points in GW1. The Primordus Axe is crafted (T6 mats, Destroyer lodes).

Basically anything that is out-of-the-ordinary in appearance and really stands out in effect is what gets my vote. I know others aren’t that particular with their tastes and prefer their’s a bit more hum-drum. Skins are very subjective, but in a game all about skins, why not go for something ‘good’?

I really like the Tormented Axe skin…not only because I already loved those in GW1.

two-handed axe looks best

before anyone asks: the two-handed axe is just a toy axe from the Executioner outfit and not usable in combat

Huh interesting…

Wintersday axe and fractal axe are my current faves

Others that are pretty good, for their simplicity
Truth, Tribal, Legionnaire’s, Zojja’s reaver, Flame cleaver, Guild broad axe

Best axe skin hands down

So anyone have updates?

Always been a bit of an axe-man with warrior mains in both GW and GW2.

My favourite has been the Fused axe skin along with the greatsword – but Chaos, Tormented and Mistforged axes have come a close second. I also quite like the Ambrite skins from Dry Top.

No disrespect to those who like it, but I’ve never been a fan of Frostfang. I do like an axe to look like an axe.

The new skins for HoT look excellent.

any fractal weapon

cos they are the rarest and hardest to obtain.

o and super rifle on asura engineer = win

Love the AC axe. Nice design, and i absolutely love the slow blue smoke. Probably Mistforged for my second pick.
