site that allows u to try dif armors
This one is always helpful for looking at stats from different items: http://www.gw2db.com/
When looking at armor stats the most important thing is to keep track of the prefix. It tells you what focus the stats will have. I.e. Berserker means a primary focus on power, secondary on precision and crit dmg.
You can find a nice overview of the different prefixes here:

And while I’m at it, if you want to find some nice skins for your stats, just go here:

PvP armors are PvE armors as far as skins go.
And if you want stats, well, you just have to do the math in your head really.
So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

What I’m doing is making armor to the stats I want, then transmuting it to the look I want. So either use Trading Post to browse the armor for the stats you want, or look at http://www.gw2db.com and chose your prefered stats. Then use the armor gallery link above to chose the look you want, and you can mix and match pieces from different armors for a more unique look. My ele will have pieces from 4 different armors atleast.
