Best staff skin?
dominator or merciless
My goodness…. It really depends on your tastes. Within your budget and “shiny”, my favorite would be:
- zodiac staff (original and elegant)
- tempest staff (love the design)
- ley line staff (mystic look)
Or HoT weapons you can have for really cheap if you have the currency/mats:
- auric staff (looks rich and classy)
Edit: ley line staff is actually not a staff you can have with HoT currency/mats

Dominator Staff
The Crossing
Azimuth
Berserker’s Lightward’s Battlestaff (might cost over 350)
The Bloody Prince Staff skin is pretty cool. It has a branched top and glows red when you use it. It’s currently 250 gold, less if you use a buy order. The Krytan staff glows yellow when you use it.
There’s a couple of karma staffs also. The Peacemaker has a pink particle effect coming off it and there is a karma Modinir staff that glows pink/red when you hold it. That one is sold by Forward Scout Greta in the Harathi Hinterlands.
I’d go look through the Wardrobe in-game for staff skins I like; just go to a bank/crafting station, click on the Wardrobe tab, and then select Weapons > Two Handed weapons to find the Staff skins. Preview some, and then /wiki the skin name or google it to find out where to get it.
Thelgar mentioned Azimuth. That is very shiny and gold and has a glow when wielded. Once the Forge recipe was learned for it it came down a lot in price, so you can buy it well within your budget or make it yourself for even less if you have mats.
I currently am using it on my sylvari reaper, as she is wearing the wedding dress outfit in deep sapphire and the gold of Azimuth stands out beautifully against it in an ancient Egyptian way.
High, highly subjective as to which ones look the best.
But my personal favorite staff skins are the Dragon’s Jade Staff and The Crossing, simply because they’re more then just a stick with a fancy head on them. There’s actual details and stuff on the shaft and not just the top. There are a couple other staffs with more to them as well, but those are the two I can think of off the top of my head.
If you want to shop for a skin on a budget, one of my favorite staff skins is Final Rest. I also love the Pact staff, which has a skull that glows. It says it was designed by Tybalt Leftpaw, as well, which made me like it even more. Some of the specialization staffs are really pretty, as well. The Druid Staff is very attractive, for example. It is also ascended
The best is always the one you personally like. Easy enough to go to the wardrobe and pick which you like. Then find out how to get it either by making it yourself, doing collections or buying it off the TP.
Chaos skin is also kinda nice. Gives that “holding a staff made of pure energy” look.
I did the bloody prince on any non-melee staff user. Works with most classes and looks nice.
But what is “best” really depends on the player, the class and the race.
Like LazyDad suggests, it also depends upon the use to which you intend to put the staff. Casting staves can get frilly and ornate, but melee staves usually look better if they are sturdy and simpler, or suggestive of blades.
