Guild Wars 2

Hello guys,
i started yesterday my female norn hunter (now i’m level 59 and soon i’ll hit lvl 80) and i need your help because this is my first female char (i’m not a women <.< so it’s better to explain fastly my situation )

I want to have exactly 5 chars, 1 per race, and since i created an human warrior and a charr guardian (the only 2 classes which fits norn male mole, for me) no i was forced to create a female norn ranger (due to their small skin, compared to the male’s one).
The problem is that this is my first female char and i don’t want to wear an “hot”… or too reduced armor but i want to wear something of cool and like (or similar) to male’s armors…
the problem is that i can’t find a really good armor :< can you help me? For now the only one which is nearly to what i’m asking for seems to be magitech medium armor from shop…
Do you know a good armor set? or maybe a combination of sets which can suit to what i’m asking for?

thank you all

The information you provided is a big vague to be honest. While I may not be the best person to answer your questions (I went for cultural t3, which shows quite a bit of skin, but I wanted to keep my Norn as close to her cultural roots as I could and provide a way to show the extensive tatoo pattern I chose for her during character creation), but I’ll try.

We’re talking about a Ranger, therefore we’re talking about medium armor, and you want armor that is not too revealing, so cultural armor is not the way to go. That leaves us at one key question – how do you feel about trench coats? Because if you like them, you have plenty of choices. If you don’t, then your choices are much more limited.

thank you for help,
what do you exactly mean with “trench coats”? can you post a picture of a “trench coat”? also i quite like the magitech medium from shop… there is something like this one? I especially like pants and chest from this one…

What I meant by the trench coats is that essentially vast majority of medium armor sets are various kind of coats. And people usually either love this style or hate it, as this type of clothing may cause several problems in the graphics department: clipping issues with weapons on the character’s back, clipping issues with with weapons on character’s hip (back at the beginning with some chest pieces 1-handed weapons were almost invisible when not drawn. They tried to fix it by moving the weapons further away from the body, but the result is now that if a character is wearing a coat, the weapon is sort of floating mid-air and clipping with character’s hands), clipping issues with parts of character’s body, and so on.

Personally, while I don’t really have anything against coats as such, I feel that they look awkward on my female Norn, because Norn women, despite being humanoid, actually have slightly different body proportions than their human counterparts (unless you make a short female with the thinest body, but what is the point in that when she is a Norn…), and it doesn’t go well with large number of armor models. But that is simply my opinion and many people won’t even notice such issue.

Judging by the fact that you like the Magitech set however you probably don’t have any problems with coats. If you like the style of the Magitech set you can check the armor you can get through Honour of the Waves exploration mode. It’s Norn-themed too, and the chest piece itself is quite easy to mix-match with other armor sets. Same goes for any piece of that particular set really. Pants are a bigger problem, as there aren’t too many pants that are not, well, typical pants. You may try the Norn cultural t2. It is probably too revealing though. And unfortunately, those pants are difficult to use for mix-matching.

If you like the pants though… Not many armors with similar

As always, Go to pvp and the pvp locker. Preview to your hearts desire and use the internet to find out what they’re called in pve and how to obtain them.
The basic flow of armor in pvp locker is:

• Random Loot
• Craftable
• Dungeon
• Order
• WvW
• Cash Shop

Cultural in it’s own tab.

helpyfull stufs

hey man … i made something what do you think? i can do better?
this is the mix:
headh: nothing
shoulder: CM
chest: HotW
hands: CM
legs: CM
boots: AC

do you know some good piece i can exchange? thank you anyway for help ^^

Revealing medium armor pieces are quite rare. The vast majority of medium armor sets is composed of Long Pants and Long Coats.
As Zorby stated, use your PvP locker to find out what set best suits your tastes.
You could always go to www.gw2armor.com and take a quick look at a few sets

AS a girl, that’s something youll have to figure out, since alot of actual female players go with TA med armor bc of the way it looks Or the BLT skins. But pay attention to the stats as well.

Hey, i’ve done with my equip ^^ thank you for help.
I’ll post it here so if someone else is looking for a such kind of equip can find it interesting.

helm: none
shoulders: CoF medium
chest: WvW medium
hands: WvW medium
legs: WvW medium
boots: WvW medium

I’m sorry I wasn’t more of assistance lately, but I rarely have time to log into the game recently, so I couldn’t check the set you came up with.

The current one looks very good. Nice choice of colors too. The WvW armor was always one of my favorite mediums due to the amount of details on it. Flaming shoulders were never my kind of thing, but the model itself fits the rest of the armor pretty well.
