Guild Wars 2

Question 1: Im sure other class’s can use the revanent’s armor skins, but it seems as if it was designed specifically for there class, can we assume that other class’s will get the same treatement ?

Question 2: I watched a guy create a revanent can we assume that they start out in that armor ? or is it aquired in some other way.

classes on creation have thangs. mez gets dem masks, necros too i think. guards some shoulder/helm. perhaps the rev gets tha blindfold and rest of that armor is not class spec

yes yes I know, What im saying is, the new armor all seems to be designed specifically for Rev. Now im sure I can use it on my gaurdian and all but what im asking is if rev’s get there own class armor will the old class’s also get a set of there own specific armor which I think would be a good addition to the game. it would be like final fantasy XI and XIV’s Artifact armor.

And yeah I do think the armor is THEMED for the new class.

1. There are already armors ingmae that are themed more towards certin profession, like the dry bones armor being more necro themed. No different with the revenant.

2. You’ll start out with the same armor all newly created heavy armor users start out with. The reason why that guy started in that armor was because it was a demo and they were immediately up’d to lvl 80 to show of the new area. The armor will be available throuhgh some way just as all other armors are, be it through crafting, karma or loot.

I can say with some confidence, no. Why?

Because once upon a time each profession had 3 or 4 armour skins unique to them and it was only through a quirk / bug that other professions could use them. Then they were all changed to be just like normal armour skins.

It seems very unlikely to me they’d reverse this and take it even further like you suggest.

There’s also the not insignificant issue of ascended armour being account bound. If they introduced profession specific armour skins and you applied them to ascended armour then it couldn’t be used by alts of other professions. We already have this problem with racial armours.

Ascended armour is not easy, quick or cheap to make. Few players would apply skins to it which make it unusable for their alts.

The only way I could see this working would be as a single outfit which has a different appearance based on your profession – like how the cook’s outfit looks completely different on a Sylvari.

I guess it wont happen then, It just seemed like it might based on what I saw aw well close the thread.
