Ok, yesterday i decided to spend all my money on getting a pair of destroyer gauntlets for my necro. so i spent at least 5 hours and 80 something k to get them, but finally when i got them i realized u had just wasted my time and money...

My necro has the 15k bonelace(think its called cabal or sumthin now) from citadel, which has netting on the arms down to the gloves, and when i equiped the destroyer gauntlets, my character look like a dumbass cuz the netting abruptly stops, however i noticed on the elementalist 15 flameforged, which has the same netting on the arms, the netting continues furthur down when wearing the gloves, making the character look cool and not like a dumbass.

Now i really dont think that is very fair seeing as the both have the same netting on the arm but necromancers are forced to look like idiots.

yeah i guess this was just a rant at Anet for proffesion discrimination, just wondering if anyone expireinced anything similar?

So you spent all your money without doing a minimum of research? Gloves not meeting up to armor properly is a very well known issue. QQQQ

Who really cares? Those things are just a waste of time anyway.

Sorry, but QFT. The information is out there and you could have avoided the issue easily.

Unfort it is the case that there are quite a few clipping problems with the specialty gloves and armors, most of which are posted on either the armor set's page or the specialty armor's page on the wiki. As many of us have seen though Anet has been correcting some of these issues recently, one can hope that your current plight is one of the ones that are corrected sooner than later.

Take it as an expensive lesson learned. Go check forums or gw wiki before buying stuff like that. But I feel your pain cuz i've done that before too:P Oh well, just bite the bullet and keep playing.

Try getting 1k Scar armour, I know the chest piece dyed purple+white (on a charcoal skinned Necro) matches well with purple Chaos gloves; perhaps the same is possible with Destroyer gauntlets.

I got destroyer gauntlets on my female ele in 15k geomancer, looks fabulous. You have to look at what you're mixing with what always. These are the only "special" armor piece I will get on any of my chars for that reason. Agree with Witchy as well, hold em in case they fix it, they might never know.

The exact reason why I decided to say "eff it" to these chaos/destroyer gauntlents that cost an arm and a leg. I'll just collect the full armour sets thank you very much. I mean, for the price i'd pay for the Chaos gloves, 75 ectos, 75 * 5 = 350'ish (my math may be off), So, I get like 5 or so 15k sets.

Totally reasonable. And more uses then just 1 pair of gloves. :-P

like you can wear more than one armor set at once >_> you pay a lot for 5 sets and can only wear one at the time, while you pay same for something very cool and wear that cool thing, not to have in mind you have full storage of useless armor pieces >_>

Yeah destroyer gauntlets look pretty bad with a lot of armors. Got destroyer gauntlets on my ele, luckily they look great with 15k flameforged armor from citadel.

uh yeah i did do research, i couldn't find any pictures of a female necro with elite cabal and destroyer gloves so meh! :P

" wow this is sad... i got ele fow and chaos gloves don't look good on it cuz of the arm part doesn't flow in... and still I don't complain... nor does anyone else I know of"
yeah, you can just bong off,
I'm comlpaining because there are two armor sets with the same arms and yet one has issues with destroyer gauntlets and the other doesn't, which im just pointing out seems a little unfair.

But poo anus and such. I mean cummon it's just a fart and w/e. Why are we exploring new ways to deteriorate our minds with this "who wastes what" and "money better spent elsewhere" Can't we just be friends and accept how this random speech makes very little sense except for the fact that it points out how meaningless armor is.

If you have the money, spend it, if you don't, don't. I know for a fact that I can go buy a few chaos gloves and I choose not to. Alot of other people can buy a few hundred chaos gloves and decide it's a good idea. Then there's others who can't afford it and don't understand how or why people would do that. It's all relative to perspective. Put yourself in someone elses shoes before criticizing their gameplay choices.

They've kinda got a point there, if not grammatically attractive. My ele's 15K Flame forged has lace arms that stretch all the way into her gauntlets, so I would have expected Elite Cabal to work in a similar way. Although Wiki doesn't show them as separate pieces the way it does for Elite Cabal

The ONLY necro armor that Destroyer gauntlets go with at all is FoW armor. And even that isn't a great match up, but it looks decent.

Gotta disagree Carinae. I have this combo on my ele, and it's my fave for her thus far for her.

The problem is not in the gauntlets, but in the Necromancer armor, for being cut like that.
They could make is so when you have no gauntlets or gauntlets that to not reach the elbow, the arm is not covered (completely removed sleeves) or the elbow ends in a different way (rolled up).

They have already different appearances with combinations with some armors, like the Canthan Female Assassin panties.

Yes, the new gauntlets don't match with all armors. You should have asked for a screenshot request forum on guru. This is nothing but a QQ thread, and QQ threads are troll and flame magnets, so I'm going to close it.
