Petition: Helms for our Paras!
Elisa
Who else agrees that a new helmet or two would not look bad on our Paragons? I'm thinking ancient-greek (Corinthian) styled, as per their armour?
Don't get me wrong, I see why they have the whole Ele-thing going about their wee little heads and all, but I think that (for at least the Fissure of Woe and one or two additional armours) some combat headgear should be included. Examples below.
Your thoughts? /Signed, /Not signed?

Should have been implemented in the 1st place as opposed to a elemental floating jem rip-off.

So long as we can get a pair of trousers too them i'm all for it.

heh..Ele's should also get better headgear.. something more visible because at the moment if we want 15k headpiece we have to get vabian (which I have and really.. they could make something better).
Anyway, /signed for the paragon helms.. it just makes sense for them to have a helmet.

I'd love to see a little more variation in paragon headgear. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think paragons have any prestige headgear at all, right? Maybe they could add some flashy helms in as prestige stuff, like the 15k glad's helm that was added in an update a while back.

Frankly, this has been suggested multiple times. Get on it already a.net.

Imo a helm wouldn't fit very well with the Paragon's current availible armors. A good portion of the arms and legs are visible and I just can't see a covered head fitting in with that concept. Maybe a helm would look good with future armor sets. We'll have to wait and see.
Seeing how long it took them to get a 15k glad's helm I wouldn't get my hopes up.

The battle kilts rule, and a centurion's helm would be incredibly awesome. Heck, it's not like it doesn't already fit with the class, the Centurion's Insignia has a little helmet icon on it.
The floating gem seems a bit lazy.
Kind of related, I'm hoping that GWEN has some more para sets that don't show off the midriff on the males. I mean, it's not like I'm uncomfortable with my sexuality or anything, but I'm a bit tired of fighting while dressed like a Chippendale's dancer.
You know what would be totally rad, ANet? Full Legionaire style, helmets and all.

On my last holiday I picked up a statuette of Athena which looks like the perfect paragon imo.

Wonderful idea....Paragons right now are just eles with different armor and skills...and a little more beefcake on the males. Give them helmets like they're supposed to have. I was actually surprised to see them WITHOUT centurion style helmets when I first saw them.
haggus71
nice pics. Athena was the 'paragon' of the Greek warrior. If you read the Illiad, she even kicked Aries' ass.
So /signed on a helm. You can always not show it or still get the third eye on your forehead.

The Sunspear recruits in Chahbek village have helms and even Kormir has something so why shouldn't we have some.

Paragons do not have helms.
They have those weird stones.
It would be like giving healms to Elementalists, Necromancers or Monks.

What I mean is that now it's too late to add different type of headgear for them.

Funny, I actually thought the same thing when I saw paragons. I was expecting helms just like that; imagine my surprise when they showed up with the same weird floating forehead jewel that elementalists have.
/signed because they're more warriorlike than magical, and it fits their armor scheme.

Agreed. It fits the rest of the armour style, the NPCs get it, Paragons are at heart martial rather than spellcasters, and it wouldn't be the first time they've introduced new headgear.

You 300 nerds, the Corinthian helmet is overrated and just looks "badass". It limited vision and hearing and it doesn't fit in the "North African" Theme anyway - not to forget that no skirmisher would wear such a thing at all.
Next thing we lack is thrustable spears and slow-motion PvP.

/Signed they'd look much more ferocious running into battle with a helm. At the mo my paragon has full black ancient and then a puny gem on his head which sucks.

Another massive advantage of these helmets was that you could actually push it back so the rear bit of it would rest on your shoulders so you wouldn't have to take it off all the time, you could just "hinge" it back like medieval-era helmet visors.
