Guild Wars 2

I don’t know maybe I’m having a graphical bug but it seems they replace DS 1 as projectiles can anyone else confirm? Hope it’s supposed to be this way because it’s pretty awesome watching the Axe tumble and the dagger seems to dart.

I’ve heard this is the case for other skills as well. This could be intended, as it is how certain weapons (Incinerator) work. Not sure though.

I know legendary’s do that, I was just surprised something so easy to obtain would have the same effect. (Not complaining though it looks really fitting for Necro.)

Well, its a gem-shop skin, so I imagine they want it to be a bit above normal quality. Which has been the case with almost every gem store skin, they are really, really well done.

I’ve certainly never been disappointed with them, and the second I saw these ones I knew my Necro needed them.

Your projectiles in DS are replaced by tiny snakes when you have the dagger in your main hand, haven’t looked at it with offhand daggers.

can someone post a vid ?

I just tried recording a video of the dagger and the spell effect is very small, smaller than the actual dagger model as a Charr necromancer. It’s pretty hard to see under normal circumstances, and harder to see when I had to turn my video settings down to record on my laptop.

The effect itself is just a very small snake that sort of swims it’s way to your target in place of the usual green and black blob, once it reaches the target it sort of curls its tail under itself and disappears in a puff of green and black spell effects; beyond that there are no other spell effects that I could tell.

Also it doesn’t work as an offhand dagger, main hand only for the DS effect.

Edit: Some of the animations as well as the idle animations for the dagger clip right through my charr’s leg, but I guess that’s no surprise with all the other clipping issues charr have.

Dagger offhand projectiles also get replaced.

:/
Replacing life blast is something id like to turn off. It looks stupid on legendaries and it looks stupid on these. Normal life blast looks way better.

I actually like the Life Blast effect with Frostfang – kind of icy bullets get shot at the target – looks awesome.

I don’t think I care for the graphic on the axe, although, I don’t even know what it is because it’s so small I can barely see it. So far I much prefer the standard DS 1 graphic. Maybe I just need to give it time.
