Oh man, I was so expecting this to be a bot spam post. Made my day by being so much cooler.

skin transfer for straight mtx? One trick I like to do is put sword skins on sceptres, especially when actually playing melee; my last Elemental Hit witch did that and looked roughly 1000% more badass than she would have with the sceptres.

As for skin transfer, I find most of the sceptres pretty vanilla.

Oh, and as for weapon effects, other than your current celestial, Sin weapon effect is *really* good at making the weapon look enchanted with glowing runes and shit. Some skins even look like they're broken into shards with that weapon effect. I very much love it.

No worries, and fair enough. I still stick swords on casters if I can, because...swords are cool.

Anyway, when I say I find the sceptre skins bland, I'm not kidding:

Even the unique ones are kinda meh. And you can't always tell which will have a 3d skin and which won't. I expected Balefire to, since it has a unique skill effect, but it seems to use the base quartz/crystal/opal sceptre skin.

And ideally you want to use a proper mtx rather than a transfer simply because if you do change weapons, you'll save yourself a few transfers. Those can add up, trust me.

Casting sceptres get the short end of the stick here: since they're technically the same 'skin class' as hammers ('mace'), they don't get much in the way of caster mtxes. Wands, on the other hand, get some pretty good ones. And I say technically, because just to complicate things further, while you can apply a generic 'sword, mace, axe' mtx to a sceptre, you CANNOT transfer a non-caster mace weapon skin to a sceptre, just as you can apply a sword/axe/mace skin to both a thrusting and a slashing 1 handed sword, but you can't switch between those two transfer-wise.

It's. Such. A. Mess!
