Back piece items coloring with dyes

Wouldn’t it be awesome if it were possible change the colors of the back piece items in GW2?

See our latest back piece item, the Day Dreamer.
Beautiful! And lovely on my character BUT she wears lots of pinks and whites to match the lovestruck weapons.
The new day dreamers outfit is really awesome especially in pinks and whites, but yha then the back piece, and your back to the original color settings. Kinda sad as it breaks the whole overall look.

So would it be possible in the future to change the color or glow of certain back piece items? I can understand that not all would be applicable to this.
But just like with armors, some have 4 colors, some only have 1.

I for one would love for this to be an option with some items.

Guardian Shout/Support Build

I have been playing my guardian basically since I started GW2.
Its true that you can die very easy but also if you play well, dodge at the right times you can survive very long ^^
That said I should point out 2 things. I usually play with a friend, while on skype, so I’m nearly always with some one in a party. secondly I mostly play pve and dungeons so my build is not really for wvw or pvp.

I have been looking at different support build for a while now, trying to figure out what works and what doesnt. For one, I really love the combi of scepter/shield for long range in parties as guardians are not the fastest to walk from one enemy to an other and its easier to doge. second I use a great sword, just to get that extra damage in pve or boss battles. I dont like to use a hammer for this as the attacks charge rather slow. The combinations you can make with the knock back, root and skill2+F1 is really nice after which they usually come to and switch over to gs to blind them with 3 and really do some damage ^^ anyways just know when to switch between weapons and know all your skills.

In WvW/PvP (note: I dont really do pvp) I prefer my hammer, scepter/shield combo. You will have 2 rooting skills and 2 knock back skills, and well thats just handy when you try to catch some enemy or when some are after you XD
———-
For my traits, I have been running around with a ‘commander build’ for a while which I adapted to suit me more:
30 Valor: V, IX, XI (for some reason I dont have much crit so I’m not using Retributive Armor)
30 Honnor: II, IX, XI-this skill kind of affects you too
and this is where I go kind of 2 ways, and this will depend on what skills you want to use.
10 Zeal (to get a bit extra power as for the skill I didnt agree with the guy who featured this build so I just kinda randomly took a skill) I or V

I love using sanctuary, downside of it thakittens rather short and a long cooldown.
So I saw this ‘undying support build’ and I for one they used a mace and an other close range weapon… dont like… if your low on health and jump out of the battle, you cant do a thing ! and in all likely hood the enemy is on your tail… unless some one ells (warrior?) is pulling it.. so only too one trait from that build. switched my zeal to virtues:

Virtues 10: VI – concentrations skills last longer. meaning I can use 2 shields a lot longer, combined with my rooting and knockback that basically means i nearly have my sanctuary back !!!
I’ma call it the cocoon build !!!~ Muwahahaha XD joke XD anyways been playing this now for a while as well, and I do miss the power. but thats also because i have been switching armors.
———-
The skills I’m running (6-0) are:
6 signet of resolve
7 save yourself
8 retreat/ hold the line/ wall of reflection
9 sanctuary/ sword of justice
0 hounds of balthazar/ renewed focus

depending on what i’m doing, whos in my team and what the boss or mobs require i change my skills. so when quickly zerking through maps i use my sword and my 2 shouts with running skills. on cof i always make sure to have one running shout, sanctuary and which ever one the party requires. so yes thats my skills
———-
As for armor most support classes go cleric or sentinel armor.
though I like the reasoning from the commander build. so i’m going half sentinel half knights armor. so I do have my bit more vitality but yha your never gonna get a high health pool so I dont focus too much on it. The knights armor, gives me more precision and my toughness and power, which is nice cause then your enemies die a bit quicker XD
I mean you can only hold out for a certain time limit, if the boss is not dead your dead… its about the timing ^^
———-
for sigls and those runes. i’m still looking into that. though think i’ll stick the the commander build idea and use the runes of the dolyak. reason. nearly every shout removes a condition or gives you healing, every 10s a condition is removed, and i got my shield attack which removes conditions, and if you have shield of retaliation, that removes conditions too. so why not XD down side it that this rune cost like 3g70s. so yha the rune of the soldier is a nice alternative. atm i’m saving up for the rune of dolyak. (I used to mindlessly spend money on un-important stuff == I’m a girl thats what we do XP)
————
Also save up all your laurels,dont buy unidentified dyes !!! =
= meaning I’m still saving up now for the legendary rings etc. I will be taking the all stats that the undying support build advice’s and mix it with 1 or 2 power, toughness, vitality ones.
———-
anyways this is my build so far. I know its not the best one out there most likely XD got an other member in my guild who keeps on pestering me about my weapons hahaha but ok, this is how I like to play and play best ^^

any tips are always welcome !!!~ I mean my build is not perfect ^^ hehehe
