I like the 3D art for Sire of Shards, but not how it interacts with weapon effects.

I'm actually currently using a regular serpentine staff skin for my Sire of Shards because it greatly minimizes the flashiness of any weapon effect I've thrown at it causing it to only be noticeable at the top of the staff.

With the regular serpentine staff skin my eternal weapon effect glows throughout the entire staff and is much more pleasing to look at.
