I had the money for FoW and was about to get the ectos and such so i could buy it, but then i realised... it does not look good in its full set. i do not PERSONALLY like what it looks like... you own it and have spent alot of money and effort on it, so it is understandable you will get defensive when people put it down.

but with the release of factions i really do think FoW armor has been beaten on looks by 2 sets of armor...

15k Canthan Without the stupid Helm

15k Kurzick

the FoW armor makes people think 1 of 3 things when they see it.

(new gamer) Wow whats that ive never seen that before. it looks ok.

(experienced gamer) FoW Armor... oh... cool... waste of money tho.

(idiot gamer) i want fissure just because it costs the most and every1 will know i have the money.

For the money you will waste on this it is not worth it when there are armors out there that look superiour. so if you come and quote me with some desperate attempt to defend fissure armor please dont bother. what i am telling you is true.

you may be a nice guy you may be a fantastic gamer you may have had stupid amounts of money and just decided to get it. FAIR enough. and it is a really nice set of armor

But by no means the best looking.

I myself as i said before think Canthan 15k With a Granite Citadel Helm Looks the best. along side kurzick 15k and a fissure helmet.

Then followed by (Luxon 15k, FoW and Gladz 15k With Ascalon or FoW Helm.)

dont agree thats cool...

no need to moan and say people are jealous just accept it. and say you like your FoW and you think kurzick is over rated.

Caaaaaaaaaaaaalm Down! lol xD

But have you noticed that all Canthan armours look better in their down-sampled forms than the Tyrian armours? ANet must have changed the algorithm, but not updated the Tyrian textures yet.

^Axe armor, combo of 1.5k kurzick with 15k glads chest (knights all)


^Hammer armor (100 al with 13 str, great for tanking and what not) and i also use this armor for running.


^Sword armor, just because i love the dye + ids =P

/Enjoy.

Hmmm ... in terms of FOW armor, obviously taste plays a large part. So does character gender. I do find 15k Kurzick looks good on males, but rather bleh on female warriors. FOW on the other hand I find looks better on females than males.

At the present, I'm wearing 15k Glad, which I love as it matches a look I'm trying to cultivate ... but I would looooove to get full FOW because nothing makes female warriors look like a wall of pain like FOW given that most full plate style armors look ugly as sin on the "fairer" sex.

The leggings look quite good if you have the whole kit.

It looks like pure blue to me. There really isn't much of a difference between yellow + blue and just blue.

I really want to know myself. I don't want silver because it's too common.. and I don't want to spend the money for black. I want to find some good looking combo...

@shada: That looks pretty cool. What color dyes are they? Pure Blue?
