Here's my latest (probably last): "Ruler of the Skies" Paragon outfit.

Why it looks like it does:
a) The paragon is supposed to be a "commander" of sorts. For that reason, I decided to give him a crown as headgear (since the released screenshots didn't give a clue to what headgear they'll be using, if any), and a scepter as a secondary weapon (since they are backline casters, it didn't seem right to give them shields, even tho it would have been a good complement to javelins; besides, shields are all based on either tactics or strength, which means they'll probably remain warrior-only).
b)The scepter is a mix of the two scepters usually associated with pharaoh burial masks (the flail and the curved-top rod).
c) Once again, the egyptian look. The skirt is inspired on the usual ancient egyptian male skirt model, but using the stylized feather design seen on the released paragon screenshot. And there's the scepter, of course. The linked metal plates hanging from the breastplate give the armor a kind-of "bronze age" feel.
d) Again, the sun worshipping theme, found on the breastplate centerpiece, greaves, and in the belt (btw, the titular "ruler of the skies" is the sun, not the paragon himself). Oh, and the belt is like a champion boxer's belt. don't ask :P
e) Ivory and mother of pearl... meh. I just imagined it made of metal (the breastplate, hanging plates, greaves, crown, and some armor details) and leather covered with linen for the rest.
f) The guy is bald, no eyebrows, no pupils. Increases the whole supernatural, holier-than-thou feel.
g) Possible in-game effect: +10 armor against dark and unholy damage (the "sun" theme), +5 armor vs physical damage (the metal breastplate).

Under the advice of others I'm copying this here

Well I got to thinking a while back about designs and I finally worked on one.
Have a gander at these.... all the same just color variations for the moment and see if you like

In white:

In black:

In blue:

Green:

Purple:

Red:

Yellow:

Spent a few hours hard at work using my monky as model (of course) I have some more ideas up my sleeves which I'll work on.

Wonder if I could get into Game design??? *hint hint ANET*

So yeah this concept is based on wanting nice flowing skirts instead of looking frumpy all the time. I like my 15k kurzick (best 2nd to FoW monk imho) but nothing really has major appeal and accentuation like the other char designs. So I went for flowing graceful skirts and some classy moonstones :lol:

I have some more design ideas up my sleeves so when they're done I'll post em up for you to oggle.

watch this space

Haha, I would love too see some norse professions. They could give the barbarians much higher health than any other class but have lower defensive armors. They could also deal insane physical damage but would have a slow attack speed to balance. Also, dual wielding could be done.

Aww heck, just turn them into the barbarians from Diablo II LOD. I wanna do whirl wind allready.

Tamwyn · Jul 24, 2006, 06:58 AM // 06:58

I think they should have something elvish like. I think that would be really cool. Sleek.

i Was Think More Along Lines Of
Attributes Bein

1.Club Mastery
2.???????
3.???????
4.Health Storage(Primary Only)

Actually we already have a barbarian class, all we need is some armor. Just consider the following skills:

- Battle Rage
- Frenzy
- Endure Pain
- Defy Pain
- Berserker Stance
- Bull Strike
- Bull Charge
- I will survive
- Signet of Strength
- Wild Blow
- Skull Crack

So a barbarian is a mix of an endurance Tank and a Massive damage dealer. Since they need more energy, glads armor is approriate. So less Armor vs anything other than physical, cuz they like physical, Magic scares them

. They have massive Health due to defy and endure pain. Any attack skill suits them. Probably most barbarian like armor we have now is either luxon or ascalon.

Maybe one day...

I was thinking Elonian Ranger, then some Shredder got into there, and whatever else, lawl.

Martian · Jul 27, 2006, 04:39 PM // 16:39

Thats NICE! I love the bagy sleeves and sandals, very african/nomady, and we definately need quivers included on the ranger armours

Jumping Is Uselss · Jul 29, 2006, 02:48 PM // 14:48

Cool ranger drawing Artedux, Ya i agree with martian rangers definitely need quivers they just cant pull arrows out of their arse.
