Guild Wars 2

As I always look around the outfit section and realize that certain pieces would go nicely to each other. Heck, I noticed some people in map chat wished that there was skins out there that would give their light and medium armor skins look heavy and even vise versa for heavy armor users. Why not have every outfit in the gem store turned to armor skin pieces with their auras as separate wardrobe slots? Of course the cost would be a transmutation charge like the normal fashion of every other armor piece and one way to expand an individual’s wardrobe selection as there isn’t that many new armor skins out there at this time. The Aura Skin Slot would be a separate wardrobe slot that is specific to which aura can be placed on a person’s character. Some auras may not work this way (Mad King Outfit for example) so it would be only certain animations that can be placed within this slot. To help mitigate around this, it would also be a perfect opportunity to have new auras as well whether it be from crafting, the Mystic Forge, dungeons, raids, events and/or Black Lion Chests. What one good way to make your hero stand out more among the others than a shiny new aura. Skritts may be jealous of your new shiny!

I understand that certain stuff has this (Legendary Weapons) but why not for the entire character? Certain auras can have certain level of grades like how armor does as it shows the level of rarity they can be found by. Maybe some auras can help a person see in the dark like how the Fiery Dragon Sword skin for swords lets off a small area around the character to see. Could be too bright as that idea might need work but its something to definitely think about.

I’m not sure what you’re asking. If you’re asking that outfits become armor with six mix and match pieces, please see the numerous threads requesting this that contain refutations of the feasibility. If you’re asking that the aura effects on those outfits that have auras be applicable to armor, then please see the threads asking for slottable auras.

Though the outfit auras in particular are designed in. I’m not terribly sanguine about making Balthazar or Sentinel flames fit onto Masquerade armor …

Are you asking that Armor sets be added to the Gem Store as seldom as they are in-game? Because, since it takes 10 times the effort to create Armor Sets, that’s probably what would happen.

Why would I want to pay for something I can just earn in-game, and would show up as seldom?

As for Aura slots, I guess those would be cool, but only (for me) if the slot was account-wide. (My auras are on trinkets.)
