What is a great looking heavy armor?
My two personal favorites are the Draconic (exotic crafted) and Vigil sets.
The Vigil set has a very classic Roman/Spartan soldier look. The Draconic set definitely fits the “exotic” label, but without going too over-the-top (I’m not a big fan of having flames, ice, lightning, rainbows or disco laser lights on my gear).
This is my current look. The pieces for the set are:
-Bladed helmet
-Inquest pauldrons
-Flame Legion breastplate
-Inquest gauntlet
-Body of Koda
-Vigil’s Honor greaves
And my backpiece is the Crusader’s Pack, eventually the Warmaster’s Pack.
The dyes for the rightmost set (the one I currently wear) are even cheap too, it’s Blue Ice + Cherry. The best would be Celestial + Cherry, though. I also made a look that was reminiscent of the Paladin Tier 2 in WoW. I believe the dyes for this one are Black, Golden Lion and Imperial Red.
