Guild Wars 2

i’m not 80 yet but I will be probably tomorrow. I was looking on the TP for excotic gear just really to see what it looked like. Not a huge fan of the looks of the knights draconic set. I see so many people running around is sweet looking crazy gear. I’m not sure how to go about getting some good stat’s and good looking gear. I’m a war and I’d like to look like a crazy beast warrior. Any advice on what gear would be good and how to go about getting it?

Thanks in advance.

Transmutation stones.
You can use a lot of equipment, like cultural, dungeon equipment, and even some special sets you can find via karma sellers / wvw vendors.
One pretty good set for a warrior is the pit fighter set (you can find it in the TP).
You can go check all the dungeon vendors in lion’s arch and see if you like one of the sets…

Hope this helps. Remember to check the karma vendors @ orr temples as well.

edit: statswise, it’s very build dependent and i’d advise you to go look at the warrior forum for more info.

If you want to look like a beast, then its Plated all the way. On a male Norn it look like he can walk through a reinforced gate.

BUT the best looking armor IMO is still the Vigil one. Tough luck if you didnt pick it :/

there you can also see where to get the pieces. Transmute anything below exotic of course.

Yes plate I think is where it’s at. I like the look of the dark set. But I’m not 100% sure where to get that from. Is that purchased with karma? And the gear that just say’s karma, where are the vendors. Is there a site out there that explains were exactly to go to get these peices that are purchased through karma?

Also thanks for the link and advice so far.

Hope that helps, have fun.

Edit: Did you do your personal story? You have to join an order, the vigil would be the one for the armour you like and you can purchase it at their headquarters in gendarran fields for gold. If not you can level a second character, join the vigil with that one and transmute the pieces on to low level white armour. Never did that myself but apparently that works.

I have been doing my story. Tbh I forget what I joined. I’ll have to go look!

Thank you also for the links! Very helpful!

The dark armor is purchased with 180 badges of honor from WvWvW. Check out named exotic sets such as Rurik’s armor for a more savage/barbarian look, and preview the dungeon sets from the set vendors in fort mariner. If you find one you like, start running the dungeon daily to get it.

Also, this site is kittening amazing: http://argos-soft.net/GW2ArmorGallery/index.php?sex=0&weight=3&race=3&color=10.

Lets you preview all the heavy armor sets.
