For a while, I maintained several sets of armor on 1 character, but I found them to just take up space, so I reduced it down to an extra set of gloved and headgear to switch between attribute lines. A better example would be on my necro, whom I hadn't played in over a year - she had some runes I wanted to keep, and 15k armor, so I didn't want to run the risk of anything breaking. As a result, I got a perfect salvage kit in GWEN, and just rearranged stuff as I needed it...

yep, I use all my armors fully. Don't use any "just for show".

Oh, side note about runes/insignias, regarding Heroes.

Nice thing about them is any runes or insignias you put on their armor, you have a 100% chance to get back with an Expert salvage kit. So heroes make for handy rune storage, and it means you don't have to overwrite their runes/insignias...also you don't have to waste perfect kits on them.

Yes. I have Full Black Primeval and the only other armour I have is the gloves and boots of ancient armour. My Black Primeval is the armour I always use.

I have 3 sets of elite armor and each has different insiginias just so I don't have to keep changing them for different builds.

Runes are about the same on all armor, save I have 7 different helms.

I currently have 9 sets of elite armor for my mesmer, and working on the 10th as we speak. All sets are fully runed up and combat ready; the first thing I do when building a set of elite armor is buy all the runes/insignias so they can go onto the new gear as soon as it's crafted. Lets me take the new gear for a proper test drive immediately in the Iron Mines where I can get it infused before adding it to my HoM
