if at least the rock was installed on a nice crown it would be ok, but the suggested para helms look good.

the North Africa argument blows. If you are using that, it would be Zulu themed, for the short broad headed Sunburst spear. The only Bronze-age North African warriors were Phoenicians(Carthage) and Egyptians, who wore similar armor, with helmets. If you want to use that sub-Saharan argument, however, why aren't they wearing loincloths? The Zulu even fought the British in those.
The armor is Mediterranean in design, very much stylized after the Spartan/Corinthian style mentioned before. The helm makes much more sense.
As to the Angel argument....the only portrayal I've seen of Angels is naked or in flowing robes. A few of the archangel Michael were similar to the paragon......but with a HELM.
And Anet? Big, poofie, tied-back dreadlocks aren't a helm.

Also while we are on it... How do 6-8 floating glowing stones giving me 80 base armor.... also how the hell are the crests that give Paragons 80 armor only giving Elementalists 60 armor... I can tank as well as a warrior or a dervish... give me a helmet.

No, Paragons resemble more skirmishers than Hoplites/Phalangites, that's why a Corinthian Helmet seems retarded while a pilos seems more appropriate (while it outclassed the Corinthian helmet by miles anyway - thus marking its decline). |
Yes, I get your point entirely. They would, in real life, be much better suited to wearing helmets similar to Roman Velites, but then the rest of your argument doesn't stand either, because javelin throwers were never as heavily armoured as our Paragons in-game are.
To keep in line with the rest of their armoured appearance, a Corinthian-style helmet would be awesome.

It'd make our Paragons look that much more awesome, and seeing as hardly anyone plays them, they need a small boost in their popularity.

I want to see Roman Legionnaire-style Paragons wandering around Guild Wars...
So that I can outfit my Warrior to look like one of the Vandals and sack Rome.
In all seriousness, though, it is a really good idea.

In terms of giving paragon a helmet, I hope it leaves the option out for those who choose to stick with the crest instead.
I personally don't like helmets unless it has wings on them (pretty ones with nice designs of course)... otherwise, gems are normally a girl's best friend

Some of you were saying helms do not fit paragon armors then what about a bandana? a bandana does not fit for any armors, actually it doesn't even belong to the time of Guild Wars. Most stand-alone headgears do not fit with most armors anyway, so I don't see any reason paragon do not have helms due to that matter.

Bandana's are just for fun. I'm against giving Paragons helmets, hell, I'm against them existing, though if the helmet has wings then I think it would be cool.

The pictures in the OP are interesting. Not sure if I'm 100% sold on the poncy feathery bits though. I still like the Crests Paragons wear, but "/signed" because variety in playing the game is always good.

Inside the game story, the Sunspears use helms, thats a fact.
But i wouldnt use a full-helm with someone who is shouting and singing at the battle, it might block the sound-wave? So i see no point of using it with a character that is BASED on it.
But also, i find stupid to wear a little gem to protect my head if i am going to the middle of the battle and see arrows and enemies pass by me.
At the end... i really dont care, i play as a mesmer anyways =]

Yeah, we saw Sunspear NPCs wearing helms so Sunspear armor for paragon should have helm as well as it should goes the same for the Monument armor.
