Sorry if this is the wrong place, I haven't been here in... quite a while.

Which of these looks best, or what would you dye this armor, or what have you dyed your armor? Ignore my helmet, please.

I am trying to get my HoM filled up, and so I bought this for my third set of armor.

My first armor is radiant. My second is survivor. What do I do to my third, fourth, and fifth sets in terms of runes and insignias?

I would say go for gold, imo it is a great color on any "shiny" armor. I used to have a really really nice gold color before the dye change but have not been able to duplicate it

As for Runes and Insigs, Survivor and Radiant are the staples, you can use your radiant for farming and Survivors for tanking/dungeons and PvP. I usually only use 2 armor sets just because that is all you really need, the rest of mine are all un-runed collecting dust in storage.

Unless I misunderstand what you mean by "third fourth and fifth sets" full armor sets or just armor pieces?

Full armor sets, as you need five elite armor sets for HoM. I really don't know what to do with my other three sets. I was thinking of getting the sentinel [or whatever the max armor insigs are called] for one set, but I'd still be left with two sets un-runed and collecting dust like yours.

What's best for an Ursan? My alliance/guild insists I use it when I'm with them. I usually stick with radiant, but what is the guru's advice?

Radiant with a sup vitae then whatever is generally best for Ursan.I myself like Red Dye or 1 Silver+3Red Dyes(metallic red) on my armors.

Red on this armor is TOO red, and three red and a silver is too pinkish.

I have a 15k charr helmet somewhere, I just don't really know where.

I would stick to earthen colors for Charr. I like the gold the best, but maybe go with a slightly darker version of it. Bronze would also be very beautiful. If you go with red I would add a brown to it and make it more drab.

Uuuuuuuuuugh. Red + brown = orange. Red x3 + brown = ORANGE. Dammit. I think I'm going to choose my bottom left in the preview, but trade grey for silver. The silver outlines the detail on the armor.

Actually Wyvern (ok "Dragon) is one of my favourite helmets, the rest of the armour is ugly tough.

This is why armors dont have extra bonuses for paying more for armor.

So what colors did you end up using to get that color? Is that the silver, orange, yellow combo from your original post? Just doesn't look the same because of how bright it is but the dye job looks great.

Whoops, forgot I made a thread. >>

Because that helmet doesn't go with the armor and I was too lazy to find my charr helmet. I think I found it on my mesmer. I lost it again though... Having 13 characters DOES have drawbacks.

So, to everyone commenting on my helmet being horrible, I DO have an elite charr helmet to go with it.

That's why it might look brighter.

Here, updated with my helmet. Now stop insulting my wyvern helm. T_T
