Need wardrobe advice!!
If you go to a dungeon using rifle as your main weapon you will be kicked.
If you go to PvP using rifle as your main weapon you will be stomped.
Just wanted to give you a warning… If you want to play with rifle as main weapon, go engineer. Will also solve your sniper attire problem.
Well no one is going to stop you from mixing and matching armor . Less noise would probably mean things like pit fighter Duelist or Kodan since they primarily seem to be leather based .
As Tom said, a warrior who is afraid of melee is a warrior who has little to offer in game. Riffle is very nice on a warrior as a secondary weapon. So in those cases melee range is too dangerous, but melee attack are so much more powerfull, if you can stand the heat stay in the kitchen
Off course, using a riffle in your main slot and having that up at idle times and changing to you melee weapon when needed is perfectly ok.
For armor, also consider top hide your head piece. I dislike heavy armor helmets, but I don’t feel im missing it when im hiding mine.
Arise, opressed of Tyria!
Maybe have a look in this short thread, not sure how well these would look on human armour. Just food for thought.
