Guild Wars 2

Since all the women started a thread on female armor, I figured why not do one for masculine armor – I mean seriously, I scoured the whole world (at a huge cost of teleports) looking for heavy leg armor for a male that wasn’t either a skirt or shorts – still yet to find any!

We want pants, kittenit!

Judging from a screenshotsite there are quite some more armors with hanging stuff looking to get in the way all the time than there are really practical looking armors.
I didn’t (yet) look for heavy armor for my male character, but I saw 4 pants, and no shorts. So I still have hope to combine something with nice shoulders and helmet.
One of those pants I saw on the south-east corner of blazeridge steppe at a heart vendor where you have to help seraph(lionguard? some humans and charrs) against ogres or stop infighting.
Also, durmand priory (strange silhouette though) or order of whispers (don’t look at the backside or the helmet though) have pants too. And the story reward skin (might make you look fat though) has pants too although I think you dont get the pants from the story.

If the ones you are referring to are the ones I think you are referring to they are either all shorts or have pants + skirt. I just want pants.

I remember a few sets not having dangling bits, like the heart vendor heavy armour. Will take a look in a few hours.

Had a look – AC, WvW, heavy plated, plated, and the order armour seem to have decent choices for “no dangle” armour.

PvP light armor on the other hand is a complete disaster for pants… only student’s pants, country pants, and embroidered pants look like pants without too much stuff on them, and even the student’s and country pants have partial skirt things on them. not to mention the male sylvari racial light armor… As a dude playing a sylvari mesmer in PvP, I wanna look masculine… cause the laser beams and butterflies can quickly tilt it either way.
