I want something like this. Not a bunch of freaking blades sticking out everywhere. This makes you look normal so no one would expect you to walk up and "ASSASSINATE" them.

It doesnt have to be this armor but something pretty and nice, And this is the Sin teacher from shing jea.

Well, I'm all out for non-spiked assassin armors.

But I think that they should be things more like this:

I do agree that some armors are over spikey (ancient...), but if you don't want spikes elite canthan looks pretty good, its got some katana blades coming out the back and such (on male)

also seitung has no spikes I think, but it isn't an elite armor.

I don't mind the spikes all that much, but when it's on almost 80% of the armor, it's ridiculous.

I agree as well.

Some armor could use minimal spikes/blades. Like with Assassin's Creed, few blades on that. Be incognito for crying out loud.

Would go great with adding sin/rit/para/derv armor to prophecies *and para/derv armor to factions, maybe even sin/rit primeval and elite sunspear armor too*

The rat!

You took this whine from my mind!

Although i was playing assassin for nearly two years now (uhm, since their release) I totally dislike these armors with frigin' useless dags stcking out everywere, kudos to anet for "no useless decorative daggers" armors in gwen, atleast now my assassin look clean, but hey, there are only two complete, and one incomplete (boots and gloves, Vabbian), and that sux, so yh, less useless decorative daggers plx, also, me wants new armors. ;p

I always totally agree on the assassins creed pic AND even the closest one, ANTON! here, aweasome sin armoer! blah!

also, thats what "daggerless" look Ive managed to get so far:

My sassi wears seitung and canthan mostly so yeah, less spiky armors would be nice. Particularly elite ones.

And while I'm thinking about it, why is it that sassis have all those spiky armors but no claw weapons that could be equipped as daggers?

Hm... yu know what would be great? Just GREAT?

Giving the Prophecies end-game an unique armor.

And, like Sousuke, Jin Zenmai and Olias have armors similar to a Shing Jea sets, they could make the Tyrian sets for Assassins like this one:

Well I personally don't mind the spikey armors, I just feel the suit different types of assassins/missions. My assassin sports a set of ancient with a dread mask, the idea isn't to be subtlle but to be intimidating, this reflects the builds I typically use with that armor (scythesin and the like). For more traditional sneaky assassin things I do like the sleek and more subdued armors.

I do however agree that there should be more subtle armor options for assassins, it really is hard to find a set (or more likely combo) that dosen't make you instantly recognizable in a crowd.

btw I'd also kill to get Yuri's mask or outfit

One covering the full body to go with the Mo Zing mask could be also great.

Awesome pic of an assassin. These days, the majority of sin armors and bad colorations make them look like malnourished toads.

Thank you for that comment. That will keep me smiling for awhile. To the person who said he/she played a sin for 2 yrs. same here. I still havent found and elite armor I am happy with. Luxon isnt horrid but it isnt great.

Thank all of you for the support. I dont like all the freaking reskin armors. Cripes how many times can we do the elite imperial?

They should hold a design your own armor contest and place them in the Central Transfer Chamber to go with warriors Silver Eagle hell could even add them at the end of EotN.

agreed - too many spikes, assassin's need to be nimble and acrobatic; with most of these armors if they did a tuck and roll they would impale themselves in 12 different places.

Less porcupine and more ninja please!!!

if not spiky, why should assassin look like ninja? they should be wearing farmer or anything that can blend in. if someone were to come within 100ft of me wearing a Mo Zing Mask, I run away very quickly.

I like subtle, so it's Shing Jea all the way for me. I don't completely mind Vabbi or Ancient, though. I did think I was seeing a guy dressed as a spider, the first time I saw the latter, but they've both grown on me enough to buy them.

It did get me thinking, though - wouldn't it be cool if they transformed? Blades extended or retracted, either at the players choice or based on action. Maybe just cosmetic, to go with the idea of assassins not looking deadly until they attack, or it could even add function, with one form having a different rune set to the other.

running from 100ft wont save you cuz he has j00 scorpion wire'd.

on topic: i like the spikey armor although i agree it is not traditional assassin garb. assassin's creed = win, but imo it looks pretty much like derv armor with pants instead of a dress. >.>

Anton the sin in EOTN his first armor set would be the best to get for male sin. even female, it just looks very nice. as opposed to lets say another reskin of ancient.

i don't find the link anymore on that other english elite forum (that green one), but I like his imagination of the assassins "Vagrant Armor" as he named so his set and that guy makes really awesome pretty concept artworks too
pS:
found it now per google lol

Look at these pictures. such a Sin I would die for too see in Guild Wars 2:

n Assasin with ninjalike WIDE clothes, looking like a Shadow in Person

Those guys there make really soem great work of art.

But also the style of the Assassins Creed Hero come very neer to the cloth style of that Vagrand Armor Concept Picture, however, to me personally that Assassin Concept armor is the very best, I've ever seen and it looks os much better, than certain work of anets devs.

They simple have to bring this armor for GW2 !!! Sins look with this so extreme undescribeable epic cool. TZhis picture shows imo bes,t how Assassins in Guild Wars should look like and what I imagine under an Assassine, that looks persian, but also doesn't deny its ninja style.

Give this Ninja of this concept picture now only some Katars in his hands, some Shurikens and Kunais at his Arms and Chest and it would be perfect

I like number 2 best. its a sword with the air ele off hand. already has GW art. This is the kind of clothes I would like to see for males and female. But also something the is more "normal" cause if some guy come running your way dressed in a black jump suit and mask your going to know something is up. Assassins are subtle.

Vabbian chest and Leggings + Seitung Arms and legs = slick looking sin.

But yea, that's about the only non-spikey combo there is.

I think clothing based on hiding your weapons would be a far more useful implementation if the game actually worked in a way that something like that would matter in the least bit.

However, I do think we could do with less spikey skins.

I agree you can make non-spikey combos. But then you dont get the oh so useful statue in HoM. I want one, just one Anet, set of armor that does look like a freaking metal porcupine, wearing S&M Scuba Gear, and its elite.
