Wyvern armor dyed black still looks better than most 15k armors IMO. I "whoa'd" the first time i saw it, never knew 1k could look so awesome :P

mini ghostly, on a lvl 10 mesmer wearing FoW armor and a gimp mask made me go "whoa"

I didn't know you had to wear FoW or 15k armor with "nice" weapons...

Nothing seems to *whoa* me anymore unless its noob armor dyed black + elite weaps......

Nowadays, even fow armor is gone common.....

I would still wanna see emerald blade skin in person...

I'd say the vast majority of people buy armor they think look good (for some proof, just check the screenshot forum :P). I also think you're reading way too much into it. If they're obnoxiously pinging their weapon sets or yelling about how they're wearing FoW/Vabbian/whatever, yeah, that I would consider "flaunting". But just standing AFK in town or doing a mission wearing pretty armor? No.

I saw a male Ranger the other night that made me stop and take a second look because I didn’t recognize his armor. Turns out it was a combination of 1k pieces - not dyed black - and it looked terrific.

I saw a female Dervish recently with armor dyed pale yellow and a female Elementalist with armor dyed peach. I always wonder what dye combinations they used to get those shades because they look so pretty.

I’ve seen more unusual looking characters lately too. Like the Nightfall Necro that spawned next to mine at Kaineng the other night. I swear it looked like an killer clown with DayGlo tufts of hair.

Someone mentioned getting exited about drops in an earlier post - I still do about some. The other night my Necro had two black dyes drop for him - one during the Ice Caves of Sorrow mission and the second when he was exploring Snake Dance. One to drop is rare, but two? Wow! The catapults should have stayed messed up.

Agreed, that is just a truley wicked scythe.

Another weapon that made me go "woah" when I first saw it was an Amethyst Aegis, beautiful shield that one.

Otherwise the first times I saw some armors (can't think of any offhand)

our monk said his infuse got 3times powerblocked from "the stupid" mesmer on one match make us "woah!"
the mesmer ping must be 1ms and got nice brain to reflex his finger and predicted it

no joke

Ages ago couple months after i started playing i was in an alliance guilds hall before we went to go cap skills in mineral springs.

This warrior decided to show me all his collection of weps, he had loads of these perfect tyrian weps, req 8's and all that.

I'd never even heard of req 8's and it made me "woah" in my head a bit, thinking of all the money they were worth lol.

psycore · Jun 14, 2008, 11:42 AM // 11:42

the people bidding 4000+ ecto on the unded panda in high end.

THAT makes me go woah. Well actually mostly WTF and then HAX.

naughteblonde · Jun 14, 2008, 11:57 AM // 11:57

I'd been playing maybe 3 months and was invited to do a FOW run with my guild. One of my guildmates was wielding a zodiac bow. First time I'd ever seen that skin and it was like 'woah'.
Saw a screenshot not long ago of a monk using an Aureate Aegis dyed a stunning reddish purple colour. It was so 'woah' and would match my armor dye so well I farmed my butt off to get one on my ele.
Also a few days ago in Kamadan Am1 I saw a polar bear mini for the first time. Its the ultimate precious impossible dream in GW for me. No way I'll ever be able to afford one, not in a year of 24/7 ecto farming.

When people don't use D-Shot on a Ranger bar.

Related to that:1500e+250a+mini-whatever make me go whoa... followed by "fake bid..."

Another thing that made me go whoa:

I was bored, loaded ToA on my monk and there was a forge run group looking for one. I thought I'd tag along. The warrior - who was getting armor - had a crappy bar and whatnot, but the rest of the team had stuff that made sense, so I went in anyways. Then he started asking questions about quests, how long did it take, what was FoW like... /facepalm. He had been playing for a decent time too IIRC, and I don't think he replied to me when I asked him if he had EBayed his money...

Nothing else has made me "woah" like that.

QFT.

I used to go woah at nice weps, but now every random person in RA has FoW armor, torm shield, chaos gloves, blindfold/mo zing, and a voltaic spear, so, just no.

Actually, monk could have had Guardian powerblocked. It's almost impossible to interrupt 1/4 cast with a 1/4 cast spell. Or it could be...Shame.

I went Woah only two times.

1) First time I used Splinter Barrage, when all arrows had hit enemies.
2) When on Hard Mode Deep I noticed how damn many minions has Kanaxai.

I've interrupted Power Drain with Web Of Disruption when skill capping, as well as Glimmer of Light with Power Spike, and RoF. It all depends on timing and luck. Although I always "woah" at it.

You have to finish the interrupt cast at the exact moment they start casting theirs.

It's mostly a twitch reflex, I just happen to be lucky.

And Infuse is Healing Prayers, Guardian is Protection Prayers.

Edit: *cough* Missed the 'almost.' :'s

I was in a PuG with someone who had a near perfect Jitte; I was very jealous.

I never knew about the Shinobi Blade until you mentioned it. Thanks for sharing.
