Guild Wars 2

I saw a player running around with this armor set and I recall it’s the set you first see when you start a warrior at character creation. It looks a bit like PVP Gladiator armor, but it’s not. Anyone know?

Crafted lvl 70 (or 75, bad memory -.-) blue set.

(Edit: Apparently I got the name wrong, so it is not pit fighter. Original post as follows, but others have since corrected my mistake.)

I believe you’ll find that as “pit fighter” gear in the 70s on the trading post, but I’m not completely sure because you can’t preview off of there.

In the PvP lockers that is the first set called “PvP Knights” gear I believe. I got the full set by completing the story, pieces are rewarded during the storyline.

The 4 pieces I have sat in my bank are called “Commando” but are soulbound, you can also find the same looks on the trading post if you search for “Barbaric”.

It’s “barbaric” armor, has crafted variants for level 70, 75 and 80.

@Corian: pit fighter is a different set, though it too sports a bare chest (even more so on males than barbaric), pit fighter is drop/reward only exotic and has variants from 70 or so till 80 as well.

Pit fighter is the ugly set with the hammerhead shark helmet.
If you want this set, then the easiest way is to buy a blue barbaric from TP or have a friend craft it. Using the female version helm of it for it’s pure kitten looks myself.

The helmet of this set is really cool looking. However the rest is questionable, especially the shoulder piece with it’s ribbon that clips through my shoulder when I run…

This is the best screenshot I could find of it online, I’ll have to remember to take some when I get home.

edit: just the helmet in this pic is from the barbaric set, not sure about the rest.

There is also Pit Fighter armor from the Fields of Ruin Karma Rewards. It doesn’t look the same but very similar. At lower levels in the snowy areas of Gendarren Fields and Lornar’s pass there is a set of armor that looks identical to the “pit fighter” armor from Fields of Ruin, but it doesn’t have the same name. It’s also a karma reward set.

Oh god…you could get pit fighters from Karma…..I spent a lot of $ buying the exotics for the skin. I hate myself now. The woes of an incomplete wiki.

No, No you can’t. The Pit Fighter from the vendors is more of a roman legion look and not the image the OP posted. That armor is crafted and is Tier 5 (mithril – skill 300+) and is called Barbaric. It is also called Knight in the PvP locker or used to be.

The PvP lockers have all sorts if name issues now on various armor pieces.

Yeah I was saying that the armor from Karma has the name pit fighter, but it doesn’t look quite the same. It’s open chested with a skirt type of legging and a single chunky shoulder pad. It’s not the same, just shares the same name.

There are like 3 different PvP sets of pit fighers / gladiator’s armor.

There is the:
Pit fighers – Free tourneyment reward
Pit fighters – Rank 20 Reward
Gladiators – Rank 30 Reward

I get them mixed up a lot.

Where are the shoulders and hands from in this picture? And what dyes are used? I know about out Abyss and Midnight Red, but not the rest that looks kind of “icy”.

@main character: Your shoulders are the 70+ Exotic set called Pit Fighter. I actually love those shoulders except for one thing, they do not fit my character at all. (See attached). It floats above the shoulder, which looks fine from the front but when you are in combat with a 2h weapon your characters face is completely obscured.

I actually had an intent of going for Cultural/Barbaric/Pit Fighters mix but over the time it has taken to accumulate the cash for the cultural set, I’ve grown more attached to my current look and now I cannot decide, I would want to use the shoulders either way except for this bug.
