female warr weap/armor combo - Guild Wars Forums

X morzan the fearless X · Jul 29, 2010, 06:21 PM // 18:21

heey everyone! okay so i wasn't really sure where to go on the forums with this question, so if it turns out to be on the wrong place: MODS: please move this to the correct sub-forum, or close it.

so here's the question then: i just got elite templar and ancient(without headpice) for my female warrior(^^). Main reason was to fill up my HoM with elite sets, but i really like them now.

now,i was wondering if any of you had any intakes on this: what shield/sword combo would go best with elite templar, to make her look very knighty? and what axe/shield combo would go best with the ancient to make her look er.........egyptiany?

Thanks for reading this, and i hope i get some great ideas

For Sword and Shield and a knight look I would go for a Tall Shield and a Runic Blade.

yep..tall shield looks awesomely knightly, only problem is that i will only be running builds that require strenght shields..and tall's only seem to be available in tactics

any other intakes on this?

ps:thanks for the quick response nubaru, runic blade is a great suggestion, i will surely take it into consideration

Deldrimor Shield and Kournan Defender. Those are what I use hence, those skins are boss.

Agree with the two shields mentioned above. Perhaps also a Gothic Defender. The Carapace Shield looks like it might go with the armour, but not sure that you'd call "knightly".

Swords: Greater Highlander Blade, Runic (as mentioned), Longsword appear to be the most "knightly" types.

Cheers.

For an Egyptian look I think a shield of the lion would be great. Maybe with a crescent axe dual winged axe or serpentine reaver?

And a darkwing defender also seems kinda knightly. I think it'll good together with a runic blade, gothic sword, longsword or wingblade sword.

Iorek Valr · Jul 30, 2010, 02:14 PM // 14:14

Longsword is the classic Knight-type-sword, but Butterfly, Short, Gladius, Highlander, Runic would all work.

As for shield, something like Aegis (Shield of the Wing), Equine, Oppressor's, Tall.

If you can afford one, the draconic is pretty sweet looking on any of the platemail looking armor. Big too. Normally i don't go for the prestigy stuff but that shield is an exception. I got a R12 one relatively cheap(60kish iirc), goes great when I use sentinel's stickers, which is almost always.

For the sword, I concur withthe above, though I tend to avoid the short swords and gladius types in favor of scimitars and the longer swords.

For the Ancient armor, you have to get a serpentine reaver. It's huge, gold and shiny. There's also the serpent axe, a cheap one shouldn't be that hard to come by since they started dropping in eotn. The Sun and Moon shields are cool looking also. The militia shield(the one the henchmen carry) is pretty decent looking on a player too, though may be too "savage" for what you're looking for. The Lotus shield, Lion shield and ebonhand Aegis are sweet too. The shield of the wing looks pretty too.
