Guild Wars 2

Guild wars 2 has a variety of skins available across all armor types, each flavour of armor theme seems to be represented but sadly some less than others. I’m having a hard time finding armor to fit the theme of a death crazed berserker that perfectly fits with how i see my character. Of course this is all personal preference, many of you reading this will say there is enough or even that the death themed necro is over-played, such as the flame theme necro.

A majority of the light armor in the game seems more fitting to an elementalist or a mesmer more so than it does a necromancer. I may have a darker view of what a necromancer should look like than the rest of you, as i can see from the “So whats everyones Reaper gonna look like?” thread, from my long love of the warhammer 40k universe. If Anet could find a way to introduce more skull, body part, chain themed armor it would be greatly appreciated.

I main a human female necromancer and would like more less revealing, bulkier armor. Its all too elegant looking as it stand now, in my opinion. I made a male necromancer to see how the armor differs and i think you can see what i’m talking about, the male one looks so much better. It’s sad that i’m considering changing the gender of a character i’ve played for a long time just so i can get the better looking version of armor. Something my wife is adamantly against me doing haha. So i once again plea for bulkier ( but form fitting armor, as you can see from the attachment, the male legs actuaally follow his form while the female makes her look pregnant), less elegant, more deathly armor.

The same goes for the face and hair style choices we have. None of it fits what id like for my character. The hair is too perfect, the faces are all too baby faced, young looking girls/women.

Where are the crazy faces? the bloody and bruised faces for every race?
Where are the crazy unkempt hair styles?

I get really disappointed by it sometimes. If i wanted to play something like the ones we have now then id just play a mesmer, none of it fits my idea of a necromancer.

They look the same to me, only difference is how big the characters are.

Also make your character the way you want it. It’s just a game. I’ve changed my character multiple times and I’m expecting to change it again for HoT.

I always said that profession-specific armor sets should exist in game.

But I don’t think we will get much more sets like you described. Most of armors are modeled for human female. And people in general don’t want to dress these to look intimidating, but cute or even though it’s weird, sexy.

As long as there’s such demand, armor styles won’t change much.
