Guild Wars 2

Love the new Radiant and Hellfire skins, the gloves look great with heavy armor, however they look very out of place with light and medium armors. My ranger is begging you, he loves the Radiant skins, but he rather annoyed the massive awkard metal gloves make firing his bow difficult, and dont even get me started on the choice words my elementalist had to say about them 0.0 Any chance we might see an updated version with a skin for each armor style?

My Elementalist just rolled his eyes and decided to stay Fashionable and wear his Heritage gear…
+1, I’m quite disappointed that they completely ignored the fact that Light, Medium and Heavy all have different appearances and use different materials.
The Hellfire skins are a joke for Light armour wearers, there isn’t a single thing they actually look good with. You can put them with CoF gear dyed red and black but even then the hellfire skins look shockingly out of place -_-

+1, I agree.

That being said, when I unwrapped my armour skin this morning, it did actually say “this armour type is unusable by your profession”, so it looks to me like the gloves don’t just LOOK heavy, they ARE heavy armour only. So you would’t be able to use them on your elementalist/ranger even if you wanted.

That being said, I didn’t try it. So I don’t know whether it is possible to apply this heady armour skin to a medium or light pair of gloves despite the warning.

A nice set of glowing leather gloves or woollen mittens would be an improvement for my light and medium armour characters.

+1. Medium/Light should be a bit lighter, thats true.

The skin you get off the hero panel can be applied to any type of armor. I applied it to all three types to check. (And promptly put my HoM skins back on to the medium and light gloves).

Thanks for the clarification!

Then the message on the item is wrong.

Idk. The ones I used, I pulled off the reward achievement panel. It sounds like the one you are talking about is the one from the chest. Maybe they are different.

It is possible. I destroyed my item, but I can pull one from the achievement panel later and check that.

I don’t know, I like how it looks on my mesmer with heritage set (norn male, though, might look different on female).

I wasn’t planning on using it on my mesmer (they look great on my guardian, specially with the wind zephyr helmet), expecting all sorts of clipping between the radiant gloves and the heritage coat’s long sleeves, but so far no clipping that I’ve seen so the metalling parts of the armor are hidden and it just looks like his hands are glowing. Now if I could only dye the glow purple, but I know it’s not gonna happen.
