Guild Wars 2

Finally sorted out all my armor/weapons for my Asura Engineer. Now to sort out the skins. I am lost and can’t decide. Thinking Rascal’s Chest, Legs and Boots, Leather Mask(the eye patch) and Sorrow’s Embrace Shoulders and Hands. Still can’t decide on the rifle. What’s everyone’s favorite Engineer armor and weapon skin?

Now that I hit level 80 I have full Orr medium armor (the karma set, not the dungeon set).

I freaking love the hat.

CoE set minus the head and shoulder slot. The fro needs some fresh air. Shoulders are the Orr karma set. For the rifle have a look at the Spectral Wave Modulator.

I wanted to have an armor skin for each aspect of the game.
So I have
Character Creation Goggles
CoF Dungeon Coat
Asura T2 Gloves
WvW Shoulders (cant see them)
Exotic World Drop Pants (Aidens)
Mad King Slippers from Halloween

Then Ruinmaker as my Pew-Pew Pistol & Brandt as my lil Flamethrower.

Elixir Colors of course!

These are the 3 most used outfits for me.
:3

^ Fall out of the closet blind?

Duelist + whisper + armaggedon + noble on the left for a proper yet bulky look, something like a rather steampunk-related royal agent; packed with two legionnaire pistols.

Krytan + charr cultural armor and invader’s hat for something that looks rather… vanguard watcher, best used with ogre weapons.

Both of these outfits are okay with any other race than charr.

Must say I’m liking the looks, I’ve been looking for some armor that would look good with a metallic dye. So I could get a slightly more ‘Engineer’ effect. After all I’ve named my build The Mad Mechanic. =P

I like the Ascalonian armor set you get from the AC dungeon tokens. It’s more soldier-like and less ranger or thief oriented. It actually has a proper helmet too instead of some hat, mask, or goggles. Sits well with me when using pistol and shield.

I think the karma exotics are also a good fit for engineer. Or the Asura cultural selections… the other cultural selections don’t really fit well with engineer IMO.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to mention the Sorrow’s Embrace dungeon armor. The medium one looks pretty good. I’m planning on using it for a FT-oriented build, with the helmet substituted out for goggles. Putting a metallic dye in the first colour slot looks quite good on it.

For my Asura I went with the T3 Cultural set. The only non-T3 items that I used are the gloves (Outlaw) and the starter eyepiece. I really like the result

(picture is not up to date and still shows my old pants instead of the T3 ones)

Here is my char.

mending jacket from personal story
invaders pants from wvw
the rest is just noble lvl 80 craftable rares cuz i was too lazy to find something better haha
starter backpack

weapons are cultural t3 human pistol and t3 asura shield.
i also have the ac rifle that i quite like.

edit: @mr forz: i like the look of the set you have on the left! @crispeh: ruinmaker looks pretty cool :o i might replace my pistol now haha

I hate how the Orr set looks like on Asura, considering making a sword/pistol or pistol/pistol thief just for that.

Well, I just had finished leveling my engineer to 80 and was looking at ways to get the armor stats I wanted. Rather limited ways since crafting was out. I had the choice between some very ugly dungeon skins or a full karma set. And then I noticed I had 1000 WvW tokens around I didn’t need and that many stat sets were added in WvW so now my Charr engineer is the happy owner if a mean looking hat with a blue feather and some very stylish coat to go with it. That way I just got the trinkets with the karma I saved.

As for weapons, I got crafted ones and promptly reskined them to anything that was butt ugly without costing me fine transmutation stones. Which ended up with WvW (again) glyphic pistol skins which cost only a few tokens :p

Now all that’s left is the underwater weapon but all of them look ugly :/

Hmmmn Rascal Chest, Legs, Feet, Leather Mask, Whispers hands and shoulders could also work.

both armors are a mix of T1 and Duelist

went for Megaman X full armor on 1st set and Megaman X standard for 2nd considering my Asuran’s name is Megaman ZX lol

A lot of Whisper’s gear.
For an odd reason actually:
The set from Order of Whispers allows me to create the illusion of a robot arm. With the right coloring and all.

This combined with the fact that this set has all those tiny daggers, and the rounds with daggers on your side… also gives the illusion of wheels an pins and other mechanical devices.

Throw in a monocle and a steam shield, and I’m set.

The overall result is the closest I can get to a more steampunkish engineer look.
And the furthest ways from the regular longcoats…

It’s still ‘just Whispers’ gear, but it makes me look a bit mechanical at least.

In my opinion that´s the only armor-set which really deserves beeing called medium armor, all the other stuff (including all other posts) just looks like cloth-armor on the main-parts – very poor choices and design according to my taste.

So far I’m sticking to orr karma gear. AC and SE sets actually looks like armor. Most of the stuff I see for medium looks like it’s designed for a ninja/thief. Cultural armor is just awful.

I’m a dual pistol build so I wanted a sleek look while keeping the Engineering aesthetic. Falconeer’s set with Noble’s Mask.

Invaders gear with the T1 charr helm.

Rascal Jacket & Gloves.

Karma Shoulders & Pants.

Basic Leather Mask & Boots.

Orangespring & Pottery. I’m a Browns fan…

Decided to spend some of my legendary savings on t3 armor since I wanted it anyways.

Charcoal, Matte, and Adobe Sunset. I’m an Anaheim Ducks fan

I’m not really sure how my current outfit looks on an Asura, but this is what my Human Engineer character is wearing right now:

Head: Leather Mask, Level 40~50 mask crafted by Leatherworkers
Shoulders: Sorrow’s Embrace
Chest: Caudecus’ Manor
Gloves: Sorrow’s Embrace
Pants: Vigil
Boots: Vigil

I currently use Deep Glacial Sky, White, and Oxblood. However, I originally used Iron on the shoulders and gloves, which is obviously way cheaper than Deep Glacial Sky.

Here are the chat-codes so you can preview them without having to hunt them down at the vendor: [&AgGILQAA] [&AgEGRAAA] [&AgGTQwAA] [&AgEDRAAA] [&AgHSFAAA] [&AgHOFAAA]

I guess the only thing I’d be really jelly about would be the T3 Asura Medium head piece— I wish I could wear that on my Human. For now, I’ll settle with this monocle.

As far as weapons go, I currently have The Flameseeker Prophecies in that screenshot, but for RP purposes, I use the Crucible of Eternity Shield (like the Mystic Barricade but red) and the Sorrow’s Embrace Pistol. I also have the Sorrow’s Embrace Rifle in my bag for times I could use more immobilization abilities.

I dont understand why every engineer isnt using the SE set.

I use the full WvW invader’s armor set with corrupted pistols and ghastly shield.

Temple Exotic without the helm showing. I’ve looked through the armor sets a lot, and I don’t see any that I enjoy more on my Engineer. I don’t care if the tail clips.

That set is my favorite, especially the helm. Fallout FTW! Too bad the rest looks weird on an Asura. I used it up until I got my cultural.

Well, since you’re playing asura, I wouldn’t be against just getting cultural armor. Tier 2 medium asura has always been a personal favorite of mine. Since I play a charr, though, I wanted to go for something that actually looked like clothing an Engineer would wear.

I ended up going AC dungeon helm, Seeker coat, CoE dungeon gloves and Temple armor for the legs and boots. My shoulders are charr cultural t1. I’m sorry that you’ll never have a backpack shoulder sling with a medal pinned on it.

Charr engi. CoF shoulders, boots, and gloves. Hotw mask, coat, and leggings. It looks rather kitten imo. Perfect for an engineer.

Spracket.9604:

Honestly, I wouldn’t mind wearing the helmet of the SE set if it’s just a gas-mask instead of a full fledged helmet. I just like to see my pink hair if I want to wear a head piece.

Cultural T3 Hands/T2 Shoulders + Rascal Coat + Starter Eye Piece

Dual Peacemaker Pistols

That’s T2 shoulders, which look better than T3 would IMO. Cool outfit I like those Peacemaker pistols (also name reminds of a Colt Peacemaker which is awesome). I appreciate a good mix up of different armor sets to make a unique look.

Here goes my heavy artificer. I wanted a functional, efficient armor.

Most of the set comes from SE of course, while the pant is the duelist one, and the boots being the part I am actually the most proud of, AKA tier 3 cultural.

I am actually glad that not all engineers are using the SE set, since it allows more diversity in our skins, and I saw alot of good ones back there.
