I just wanted to know what armors Destroyer Gaunlets actually fit with, because I've seen a few Warriors with FoW and DG...it looks plain retarded.

I noticed on most ele armor's that the sleeve from the body robe goes farther than the elbow so it might work out nicely...

Does anyone know if Destroyer gaunlets work with ele armor, or any other armor?

It stops and leaves a gap between the gauntlet and the robes on most of them, including Ancient Robes. That's the only reason I'm not getting them.

I imagion they'd work with most female armours since the chest peice doesn't really connect to the arm peice. Most are just slip-on gloves.

But guys? I have no idea. I don't play guy toons very often. D:

I've see the chaos gloves on a female toon (Ele or Mesmer, not sure which) and the long sleeves of the chest piece went over the top of the gloves and just left the hands of the chaos gloves showing, so it looked quite neat. I imagine that the destroyer version would behave in the same way.
I was thinking of getting the destroyer gauntlets for my Ranger to go with his primeval armor but having seen them on other characters I strongly suspect they would leave a band of bare skin and not join up very well with the chest piece, confirmation anyone?.

Ranger Rog you must've seen a mesmer. I saw a FEMALE Ele with fow and destroyer and there was a little bit of skin (compared to the HUGE lot of skin ele's like to show)

I used them with a black assassin canthan guise. Since the guise is a vest style and leaves the whole arm bare it works very well - the whole glove shows and it doesn't look like an accident that some skin is showing as well.

I use Ancient Armor with them on my Warrior and it doesn't look that bad, mostly due to the fact that the chest for it has short sleeves, so you don't get the ridiculous look of armor ending at the elbow.

Ever seen the screenshot before GW:EN came out of the lady dervish with the dread mask and destroyer gauntlets? thats a great combo o.o

I think the chaos/glacial/destroyer gauntlet things would look great on dervishes, though I am trying to save for glacial right now ^.^ Since dervishes wear "gloves" and the gauntlets are not really gaudy. I suspect a lady dervish in black sunspear leggings and such with these would look really keen o.O and I play guy toons.

Female Monk DWARVEN (not even a freaking set) dyed black looks fairly nice with destroyer gauntlets.

Hmmm.....I'm thinking they would look good with most para amors. Para armors usually leave the full arm bare so it would not look out of place plus the "demonic" look to the gauntlets would give an interesting contrast to the "angelic" look of the paragon. Anyone got a pic of a paragon with the gauntlets in the middle of a chant with the wings showing? That could be a neat look.

I think it's just best to pay attention to the coolness of the gauntlets themselves. I'd probably get to irritated trying too get them to match with anything.

Imo destroyer gloves look good only when the character's armor is naturally short-sleeved. I.e. if the armor set's gloves connect to the chest-piece at the elbow then it will look odd to me when the destroyer gloves fail to connect. Same applies for all other common armor gloves. That said some combos are only slightly odd (e.g. 15k gladiators) while others look very odd (e.g. warrior FoW).

This doesn't apply to mesmers because, unlike all other classes, their gloves generally don't extend above the wrists.

The OP mentioned ele armors... female ele's have many good options, but male ele's are mostly screwed (what else is new?).

Here's my female warrior Norn + Highlander Woad + Destroyer Gauntlets mix:

Looks quite nice IMO.

But with Primeval it's absolutely awful.

Personally after seeing these in game more over the last few days I really think they are too themed for certain characters.

To me they would really only suit an ele for obvious reasons I mean....what other char would really have fiery hands in such a game world?I just don't think they suit the "theme" of a Warrior, Sin, etc and they really seem to more often than not stick out as really not matching the character at all hence why I've decided against getting them.

In saying it's all a matter of personal taste and whatever makes the individual players happy and thanks to those that have shared pics.

But a warrior/etc.. wielding Destroyer Weapons would look cool with the Destroyer Gaunts....

It's just my personal taste and reasoning man.

I don't expect people to agree and hope they would buy whatever they think looks good for them.I have yet to see a good combo with these gloves that I think actually looks right and suits the profession other than ele.

As said...thats just me.

Dont like dest gaunts at all, but Chaos gloves look good on spellcasters, specially monks.

I think it would look fantastic on my dervish, but i have no means on getting the gloves without spending lots o cash (only have 2 dest cores) and possibly on some sin armors like Luxon.
