I'm probably in the minority, but my favorite for both looks and functionality is assassin Vabbi armor dyed black. I don't care so much for the big blades, but insignias give it a distinct edge over old world canthan armors.

You're not a minority.

I love vabbian armour and i love it even more because i payed only like 1/5 of what it costs now. When rubies and saphires were 2.5k i bought like 200 of em and spent all my money and items buying them but now I have 3 vabbi masks and full vabbi armour dyed white and I had enough rubies and saphires left to sell about a week ago.

assassins are my favorite class, and I like them to be more ninjaish than anything, so my favorite armor is a mix of FoW and Vabbian armor that shows them as clean, spikeless killers (which in my opinion looks way more deadly than a headbanded porcupine)

the mix is:

All Black
-Ancient Mask
-Vabbian Chest
-Vabbian Pants
-FoW Gloves
-FoW Boots

looks so uber to kill someone like that

I also like the Luxon 15k dyed silver (cuz white makes it look like cream ><)

I hate exotic x_X The open sides just don't fit assassins at all, and imo the colors suck. The only time I ever used it was the gloves on one of my PvP chars, then I switched to a mix of Canthan and Imperial...

Hmmm...well, I use full 1.5k Canthan. Shing Jea looks too simple, and anything else has too many spikes for my taste.

Never seen it dyed white but ive seen it black and I thought it was preety sweet. Although i have to go for Vabbians overall because its nightfall armor which means better for insignias.

yeah, that's why I'm changing to Vabbi, much slimmer around the shoulders, dying it in a mix of Blue and purple, to make a darkish purple (my fav of all colours) And the Spikes are not yellow, they looks more of a metallic goldish grey (or whatever)
dish
@Ghostcell.

Here are some pics for ya.



I personally think it looks a lot better on the female. I love the contrast of Black and white, even if it's not very assassiny. @^_^@

That kind of statement is as grossly incorrect as the "all tanks rush in and aggro too much" or "all sins think they're tanks". At this point you should quite frankly know better, many stereotypes in the game were blanket statements when a profession first came out that are simply inaccurate. Some sins with cheap armour aren't good at playing as a sin, some are great. Some using 15k armor play well, some don't. In the case of armour, its really all about the aesthetics. What looks good to one person doesn't on another. I went with basic Canthan armour throughout the game and if it wasn't for the 15k Canthan set for female assassins (which I love), I would have kept that basic Canthan armour and been one of the automatic noob sins simply because I wouldn't have had any 15k set.
