I want a sylvari thief and want him to look cool but the issue is that the cultural med armor for sylvari isnt really attractive and the full TA set doesnt strike me as very thief like. What combos of armor (with some of the cultural sets not the full thing) do you medium armor sylvari wear or use? if you could post pictures too that’d be awesome!
I think T2 set was made with assassins in mind but it is hard to get a good look due to the way it responds to dyes. It works best with dark dyes and some highlights.
This is a screenshot of my ranger where I tried to mix T1 and T2 ( was a pain):
I got 3 mix and match sets at the moment that I use.
#1, Mix of TA and T2 armor.
#2, T2 with the Thief hood.
#3, T3 with the whispers hood.
The T3 cultural armor has an awesome glow and metallic sheen to it that doesn’t show up in the preview. It’s pretty awesome, but you have to play with the dyes a bit before you get something that looks good. It’s also a gajillion dollars.
Also the whispers gear is pretty sweet and there is a mid-tier crafting armor (leather I think) that looks cool as well. If you want the whispers armor but aren’t in the order, you can do the transmutation trick to get it (google it).

1- T3 cultural (it glows!)
2- leather
3- whispers

I also have a Sylvari thief, though I’m not sure her look is very thiefy. Her armor is a mix of cultural tier 3, the commando pants, and the aetherblade boots.
