Which elite warrior armor to get! - Guild Wars Forums

drey2k · Mar 22, 2008, 11:46 PM // 23:46

Hey I got around 150k and I need some elite warrior amor for my warrior.

I've been going in between a couple choices, I really can't decide.

Elite Luxon is pretty badass
Elite Templar is cool looking
Elite Kuzrick looks slick
Elite Sunspear looks pretty nice too

I can't really decide. I'm leaning towards Elite Templar.

Is there maybe a nice combo I can do or something?

Also does anyone know how elite templar looks dyed in black?

Thnx

i have a friend that has ancient. it looks so kewl dyed yellow. maybe black..either way it looks awesome. my friend has it

[Morkai] · Mar 22, 2008, 11:53 PM // 23:53

Tbh I'd get both Kurzick and Luxon.

I Have 15k Kurzick and i loved it until i got my FoW. (Still do mind)

Considered buying the Luxon 15k Earlier cos i saw someone in RA with it on and it inspired me.

Go for Luxon tbh.

Im a sucker for the Templar myself ~ looks like a genuine Knights style of armour.

Tall sheild + Templar dyed yellow + Longsword <3 <3 <3

Ye templar has like a knight of the round table sorta look, pretty cool.

I might get that and get elite luxon/kuz later on or something.

I myself am thinking of getting both the elite kurzick and luxon, but atm I'm poor as #%!&... Anyway, elite Luxon first. That armor is badass like hell

You are wide thanks to the big shoulderpads and the leggings. You look scary, personally, which armor is the most scary of these, elite Luxon takes them all down.

Elite Kurz, this has got a more "sophisticated" look. Kinda slim, cool shape of the helmet and stuff. This fits well in with a sword warrior (the Luxon is more of the axe type, and not small Forgotten Axes, now we talk big time axes

)

I only wrote bout those 2 cause those are my favs of those you listed. I agree that templar armor looks awesome to, with it's more realistic look and such.
I like sunspear too, it's cool. But not even close lux or kurz

I myself got the Monument armor, as it's primeval, luxon, elite luxon, elite sunspear and elite templar all in one

But now to the finals. I'd go for the Elite Luxon.

Black dyes horribly (well.. not that bad) on Templar armor. It dyes a "faded" black instead of a nice solid one.

Anyways, Its preference really. Get whatever suits your tastes/weapon set.

Get anything but the Luxon armour. It's quite possible the ugliest armour next to the Elite Male Canthan for Mesmers.

I agree that the 1k i horrible. But the 15k atleast got some sort of coolness into it

drey2k · Mar 23, 2008, 02:36 AM // 02:36

I currently have a set of regular luxon (minus the ugly helm, I use a bandana) and a platemail.

lol it's so dam hard to decide .. I thought the elite templar would dye well with black but if it isn't pure black then that sucks eh..

I'm thinking of elite sunspear with a elite templar helm would look cool. Anyone know?

Murmel · Mar 23, 2008, 02:44 AM // 02:44

Hmm, not sure really, it's probably going to be like slightly (not much but slightly) different color on the helm amd the rest of the elite sunspear in that case. For example; I had the elite gladiator hauberk (or whatever it's named) and a 1k platemail helmet. The platemail helm had a slightly lighter gray than the hauberk so it looked very strange... I'm afraid thats whats going to happen with your mix plan. Also, I don't really know how the Templars more curvy curve things on the helmet and the more spiky curves on the sunspear will come together. Only way to know if it will look any good really, is to try it out.
I myself don't think it will look that good but you never know... If anyone tries it out it would be cool if they posted a screenshot or something of it

drey2k · Mar 23, 2008, 02:46 AM // 02:46

Hmm you are right about the color thing..

beregond · Mar 23, 2008, 04:45 AM // 04:45

My favorite is Elite Kurzick.

RavagerOfDreams · Mar 23, 2008, 04:49 AM // 04:49

elite kurz + gloom shield + runic blade = awesomeness

Richardt · Mar 23, 2008, 04:55 AM // 04:55

Elite Sunspear I love-but tbh it's not much different from 1k Sunspear.

Elite Kurzick is pretty sweet, and Templar is always a good choice-and I have seen in black and I have to admit it looks pretty good.

Neo Nugget · Mar 23, 2008, 04:56 AM // 04:56

15k kurzick is my favorite, 2nd is 15k plaitmail.

15k kurzick looks awesome and is definitely worth the big price tag.

Oh i have knights ( Templar, whatever) dyed black, and it looks pretty cool, just make sure your warriors face isn't ugly like mine -.-

beregond · Mar 23, 2008, 04:58 AM // 04:58

haha just like me. I have elite kurz, and elite platemail. Elite Kurz bein my favorite.
