Guild Wars 2

Yeah i don’t really like light armors but the only class i like is the elementalist.
So if i unlock heavy armor skins can i put it on? If yes how?
And what class is “better” thief or engineer? I’d like to try something new.

No, sadly. That is what outfits are for.

The pirate outfit is very medium armor looking. and works with all characters.

As you stated above, Elementalists can only wear Light armor.

As a Human Ele main myself I am not a big fan of frilly lingerie/reveling armor so it can be quite a challenge finding some armor that actually looks like it would protect you in a fight.

I personally went with the Light Ascended armor but here are some other options that you might fancy that aren’t necessarily the classic light armor look.

(Country, Seer, Light Illustrious, Devout, Light Priory’s Historical or Trickster’s)

Good luck

While you cannot wear heavy armor on your Ele you can try to work around it.

Here is my “heavy” armor look for my Necro in preparation of Reaper.

Headpiece: I am using the crimson glowing eyes but you can use anything you want.
Shoulders: Sorcerer’s (Human T3)
Chest: Sorrow’s Embrace
Gloves: Sorrow’s Embrace
Legs: Citadel of Flame
Boots: Sorrow’s Embrace

That’s too bad… maybe i’ll try the thief or an engineer.
Binks your armor looks amazing! maybe i’ll follow your example…
Yalora i care only about the looks the best-looking(at least for me) armors i’ve seen are in Vindictus the problem is the game requires too much farming…
thanks for the info as for the outfits i’m not gonna spend money on a game i’ve already spent money on…

Another use for it is to actually give a medium-armor character something that is not another coat.

I would LOVE for every armor class to be able to use any armor skin I have unlocked for that part on the body. We already have that for weapons.

We could preview mix and match armor parts before. It caused the game sometimes to bug hard. It seems the way ANet made the different armor parts, they made them incompatible.

That is interesting. Maybe they made light a pattern, heavy a mesh and who-knows-what for medium (maybe something like a scuptie ala second life)? Still though, I can not think of why those processes should be incompatible, even if the join parts were at different points.

I think it’s more like the shader and utility textures used to render a player are setup differently between light, medium and heavy. And a player is probably rendered as a single operation.

Yes, you can

Balthazar’s Regalia Outfit

Totally agree @Yalora – the light armour is aweful. I’m an elementalist, wielder of the very forces of nature, not one of the Village People. I don’t want to wear a dress or bare my mid-riff.

There’s quite a few covered light armors already, just use them :o

And then you can’t tell what class you are tryj g to fight in WvW. The QQing about hacks and what not would be extremely annoying.
