Worth Keeping Guardian Pauldrons?
The skins for the pauldrons are unique, so if you were really wanting to transmute them, you’ll need to get another set. Personally, I saved my pauldrons until level 40 or so, then scraped them. I decided that I’m going to transmute the Vigil armor onto my final set, so I had no use for them anymore.
That being said, I’ve heard mention of ways to get starter armor to other characters. Its usually done to get armor from other professions, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t in this case. Unfortunately, I don’t know the method (and it may have been fixed), so you’ll have to do a little searching.

What is vigil armor?
If you choose Vigil for your faction, you can eventually buy their style of armor from the vendor at their HQ, for gold.
Leveling is super easy in this game. What I would do in your place is look at all the gear in the game and decide what you want your 80 to look like. If you don’t see any shoulder pieces better than the ones you deleted then remake your char. I saved my Ele’s starter head piece for the longest time, but I decided that I didn’t need them anymore.

I don’t understand what you mean by if you choose vigil for your faction?
Basically, around level 30, you have to join one of three factions. It’s mainly a story decision, but it does affect which set of armor you can buy and which lower level zone lets you access a portal to the end game continent. And you get an achievement for each one.
do know that there is a method you can try for this. so you don’t have to reroll your character. if you really want, you can start an alt Guardian, go for the shoulders that you want and then transmutate them to a white/blue level shoulders. after transmutating them, it says it’s still soulbound, but it will in fact be account bound. then you can throw it in the bank, and your current lvl 23 Guard can pick ’em up and transmutate the skin onto your desired shoulders with the stats.
the same method should work for all the other Orders (factions) as well. i went for Order of Whispers and i plan to get Vigil armour. recently i have a low level engi (so hasn’t joined any orders yet) and i got him the whispers hood (helmet) using the method i described above so it technically, should still work.
good luck!

Hmm, I think I´ll try this trick to get a matching set of Fanatic´s Pauldrons to my Visionary Helm.
Went for the Priory and don´t know what to think of those shoulders. They look like McGuyvered rain-pipes or something.
Hopefully it won´t clip like crazy.
