I didn't say I cared about the glowing effect. I implied that it might make it look better, but something more exotic would have been preferred.. All that work and it is rather mundane. Look at the intricacy of the MNK weapon or the sheer impact the DRG weapon has on first glance, that is what I expected.. It's a great weapon and it will get a large amount of use, but I am a bit let down.
