Why no "Corinthian Helmet" people proposed day for day? There are more important things but this is dissapointing.

It would look pretty cool if they got rid of those flaps/side visors/whatever they are, but it's not *too* bad...

Well, since the whole set is quite "meh", that helmet is only fitting, isn't it? :P

It does look a bit odd in that picture, though I'd like to see another picture from a different angle.

Personally I would have rathered something like This.

The resemblence to the actual 15k Armor is striking,no?

I'm gonna withhold judgement until I can get a better look at it from more angles, but that doesn't look too promising.

It looks like a power plug. Gladiator Helm, 120V for use in the United States - 15k obo

I do rather like the scrollwork and the shape of the helmet itself. I hope the designer has thick skin and can take all of these comments in stride. :P

Without the Flaps, it would look pretty cool...

or if the flaps matched the notched shoulder blade more.

Meh, I'll still probably buy it!

Yeah, a Corinthian helm would have been awesome, especially after seeing 300.

By looking at those pics it doesn't really look like it matches the rest of the set all that good. I'd either have to see more pics, or look at it in game. Either way, it doesn't matter as I've never been a fan of that armour set anyway...

It looks pretty much exactly like the concept art in the Prophecies art book. All this time people were saying they wanted the helm and even the one from the concept art would be fine.

I'd say the female version looks all right. As far as the male one, the helm isn't going to make you look any more ridiculous when you're running around in a bra anyway.

LOL!! I totally agree with the people who said it looks like Optimus Prime or a power plug. Without the prongs on top it would be a really cool helmet

Makes me kinda worried about the art style of armors that we'll get with GW:EN, hopefully there won't be any armor sets with power plug prongs everywhere like the "Abaddon gave me a rash" infected spikey armor sets in NF

I said male in the same sentence. It would be pretty hard not to understand the sentence...

*desperately farming to get the 15K back*

Ohh well, at least I got some of my Iron Ignots back when salvaging...

My poor warrior got nightmares from the helm

(btw the helm gives +1 to tactics, just like the other Gladiator helms)
