Guild Wars 2

Is the new melee staff combat stance (idle) really just the recycled hammer stance? Come on ArenaNet…

Species: Asura
Gender: Male
Class: Guardian
Item: Electromagnetic Helm (Asura Cultural Tier 3 Heavy Helm)
Issue: Item clips with the Asura ears.
Description:
I know my Asura has big ears, but it’s disappointing to spend 119g on this armor set only to see the ears clip through the helmet.

Species: Asura
Gender: Male and Female
Class: Elementalist
Item: Savant Epaulets (Asura Cultural Tier 3 Light Shoulders)
Issue: Item does not show up on females.
Description:
The shoulder armor for the Savant armor set only appears for male Asura characters. However, when only the shoulder armor is equipped (either by itself or with another armor set), it seems to display correctly. Also, when the Savant Coat is previewed on the male without the Epaulets, the Epaulets are displayed.

Notes: This armor shows up correctly in Zojja’s concept art, but in the game, they are not present on her. Also, it may be noteworthy that when the epaulets are worn alone in the male screenshot, the color scheme is different than when they are worn with the armor (last screenshot). I did not alter the dye scheme while taking these screenshots for the male.

When I had previously previewed the Savant Armor, I was playing on my female asura elementalist. I thought I’d try a male asura. Lo and behold, the preview works for male asura, so apparently it doesn’t work properly for females only. Also, when I previewed it for a male, the shoulders didn’t make the difference, the chest piece did. In other words, the shoulder armor appeared on the character when the chest piece was previewed, then no change occurred when the shoulder armor was previewed with it.

I am also interested in this armor set, and when I preview it, the shoulder armor does not show up. Hopefully this gets fixed because I don’t want to spend a bunch of gold on an armor piece that doesn’t show up. Strangely, Kudu’s shoulder armor for this set seems to be displayed properly.
