Guild Wars 2

Right, trying to put together the look for my character, and this is the point I have arrived at so far:

However, as you can see, the gauntlets are a problem. Not the model itself, that is fine, but the problem is that they are on fire, which ends up looking out of place. However, I have been unable to locate a set of gauntlets suitable for the set; Most of them are too short and thus leave a huge patch of arm open, which looks odd in a set that otherwise represents full armour. The only other gauntlets that maybe could work, are the AC explorable ones, however they bulge out unnaturally and again look out of place on a set that otherwise focuses more on angles. The draconic ones came close, but they also suffered from being too short, and so far it seems these are the only long plated gauntlets I can find. Any suggestions?

Also, I am not convinced about which colour to put on the cloth parts, thoughts? Prefer something that would not be too aggressive or vivid.

Oh, and on a sidenote; do you think we will ever get the option of transmuting across armour types so I can make this set come true? XD http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m17/Thuran/gw022-1.jpg

That second set is awesome. However, for the sake of WvW I doubt they’ll ever let you mix armor in that way.

Anyway, have you considered the “dark” breastplate? It’s what I ended up using with those pants. It also has a bit of cloth around the waist, for continuity, and it covers your arms completely, allowing you to use your choice of gauntlets. On its own, it’s not quite as cool as the HotW chest, but because there really aren’t any good gloves to match the look it worked better as part of my larger set. Your shoulders cover a lot of the breastplate anyway.

For colors, I settled on Oxblood. It’s basically a very deep red. Sometimes I switch it up with black. I don’t think anything too dark (like midnight fire or abyss) works very well, since in my opinion the tattered state of the cloth demands something at least a little faded. A color that’s too dark also means you can’t see the little frieze pattern around the hem of the kilt.

This page is great for seeing how ur character might look in different sets. Hope you find some gauntlets there!

gw2armorgallery.com is another great site with most of the in-game armors. Search by race and gender.

someone needs to come up with a pvp locker type website so we can mix/match all possible armor combinations online if we arent in game

Now that would be cool!
