It’s all about preference. I decided to pick all of the water weapon skins. They’ll be usable by any and all characters, and I don’t really know any particularily good water weapon skins. And I get to look at water weapons rarely enough that I’m not likely to get bored of them very fast. Plus they look pretty good. It’s win-win-win-win for me.. but might not be for you.
For fourth and sixth skin I’ll probably go with pistol and rifle – simply because I don’t like firearms very much in fantasy setting. It’ll give me an option to use non-firearm appearance for any of the characters I may use firearms with, plus it seems pretty fitting both for mesmer – who uses the pistol more like a focus of sorts – and for engineer who is asura.
Sixth and seventh (if I ever get that far) skins I’m not really sure of. I don’t like zenith look very well for melee weapons, so those are probably out for me.
I have access to every HoM reward, so aside from water weapons I already have one reusable skin available for every weapon type. I might go with shield (it seems fitting for both engineer (with zenith pistol) and guardian. HoM scepter already looks good, and HoM focus is somewhat similar in style (sort of blue crystal theme). I might go with staff – it looks good, and a lot of classes use it. Another possibility would be longbow or shortbow. Torch looks pretty nice too, but I only really use torch on sylvari ranger, and the plant theme torch (verdant, was it?) fits better. Organic shortbow from HoM is better suited too, so most likely the last skin would be longbow.
