More Mesmer Themed Armor
if what you are looking for is a good mask and frilly laced up corset type outfits, then I would think that the Hall of Monuments Light Armor Skins would be perfect. Heck, the Hall of Monument Light Armor Body is the definition of a Corset with an Overcoat. And the Heritage Masque is probably the closest thing I have ever seen to this famous mask in the game… Though your right, things like the Light Baroque Mask are kind of “Meh” in my opinion.

You know, I’ve been trying to think of what makes up a “mesmer theme”… and almost everything I see them point us towards in game make us look like stage magicians. That does fit, to an extent… its just… not enough for me personally.
What I would like to see is something more elemental… something that embraces chaos and illusion within the context of themes (good/newt/evil)… to that end, I’d offer this as reference… (some of these are debatable as to where they fit, but you get the idea).
Chaotic good – http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChaoticGood
- Batman – a hero suit (w/ actual pants), possible muscle definition. Cape (probably not doable right now, but w/e, its BA)
- Barbarian hero – overly manly meme + Norn male = welcome to the gun show
- Gambit – basically a step between whats already in game…and batman. (why don’t mesmers do anything with playing cards or dice again?)
Chaotic neutral – http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChaoticNeutral
- Pirate – because leather armor classes shouldn’t have all the kitten ed fun
- Ninjas – because human only ninja armor is racist… and f* pirates…
Chaotic evil – http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ChaoticEvil
- Joker – formal suit that can be dyed to mis-matched colors + warpaint
- Anarchists – the tattered resistance figher, wide brim hat, overcoat/straps/pockets
- Harlequin – Dark jester tights w/ jester hat
Also, realize when I’m using batman or something as a reference, I’m not expecting ANet to actually do that… just a kitten hero costume that avoids copyright infringement Even if you disapprove of my examples, I’d like to hear other’s ideas for what counts for a good mesmer look.
They had to SPAWN MORE OVERFLOWS!
