Can't agree more. And I wonder why people hate Male FoW so much. It was my first elite armor ever, and still my only FoW armor, and to this day I still love it. I think it's beyond awesome coolness. I love ALL Obsidian armor, yes, even monks and necros :P

My Bests and Worsts in Armor:

Assassin(Male) Best: Elite Ancient (knives ftw!)
Assassin(Male) Worst: Elite Exotic

Dervish(Female) Best: Norn
Dervish(Female) Worst: Ancient

Elementalist(Female) Best: Elite Luxon
Elementalist(Female) Worst: Primeval (looks like a kite)

Mesmer(Female) Best: omg... so hard to choose...
Mesmer(Female) Worst: Ascalon (booooriiing)

Monk(Female) Best: 1k Kurzick and Labyrinthine
Monk(Female) Worst: Primeval

Necromancer(Female) Best: Vabbian and my personal combo of Elite Luxon chest+skirt with Elite Canthan boots and gloves, in green+blue+silver+dye remover
Necromancer Worst: see above quote.

Ranger(Male) Best: Norn and 1k Krytan
Ranger(Male) Worst: Ascalon (yawn)

Ritualist(Female) Best: Elite Kurzick
Ritualist(Female) Worst: Monument. what a cheap reskin.

Warrior(male) Best: Obsidian
Warrior(male) Worst: Elite Dragon, ringmail

Paragon (male) Best: Obsidian and Ancient
Paragon (male) Worst: Elite Sunspear. get those nipples away from me!!!

The worst for me would be anything rainbow colored...
The only time my Dervish would wear that top is in Fisherman's Haven.

Most of the Necromancer stuff is really ugly and a lot of female Mesmer Factions armor, but I love both Kurzick armors.

And female warrior Norn! Who came up with the stupid idea of making it backfree? Why isnĀ“t the male one backfree too? Same goes for the Silvereagle.

I love that elite platemail ^^

I forgot to mention:

People please, learn to combine armor. I mean, sure, chaos gloves are nice even though it states e-peen in giant neon letters, but please please if you HAVE to have them, combine them on armor that DOESN'T cut off your sleeves. Especially tattood ritualist chest armor.
Same goes for all other EotN gloves.

And what's up with dragon gloves Anet. They are WAYYYY to big. Awesome job on destroyer/stone/glacial gloves, really, I gotta have all of those, but dragon? xD

Most warrior armor bar Vabbian, Primeval and Krytan.

Female Mes FoW. Its not so much the fact that it's 'ugly', but tha fact that it makes it look like you're working a street corner.

Wost = Male and female warrior obsidian armor, and
Mesmer elite canthan armor is pretty awful looking too.

My favourite armors are the ranger Deldrimor armor, a shame we can't add em to HOM.

All armors with foot-long protusions (spikes, feathers, fins, weird sticks...) are ugliest.

Male Warrior FOW is definitely one of the ugliest. Some Primeval sets are pretty ugly too.

For best looking though, I love male Ranger Primeval. Male Ranger Deldrimor, male Monk Labyrinthine, and male Assassin Monument are all also very nice.

Out of all the new common peices, I prefer the Dread Mask and Destroyer Gauntlets over the others. I think the Blindfold is very, very ugly.

yeah, just found this out the hard way this morning..went to dedicate all my armor sets (ancient, primeval, norn, vabbian) and found out deldrimor is a no-go ... Shame on me anyway, I got those dragon guantlets to go with it...apart from vabbian (which was waaay too expensive due to 32 rubies/saphs at 4.2-4.4k ea), this outfit gets the least wear.. Ranger Best: Norn (in white) gets the most.

Ranger Worst -drakescale...the one with all the fishscales - got that quickly one day to try a farming build and was embarrassed to show myself in public...lol

Monk Best: Primeval pants and flowing design arms/chest...monk worst: all other monk stuff - looks like ur going clam-digging or something the Village People would wear

don't really play the other stuff enough to like/dislike..so meh to it

Worst looking? Hmmm...

Monk (F): Istani, FoW.
Monk (M): Istani. Ouch.
Elementalist (F): Krytan.
Elementalist (M): Elite Sunspear.
Dervish (F): I'm actually alright with most of these, but I don't really take to Norn. I think the fur makes it look awkward.
Assassin (F)(M): Exotic, Elite Exotic - I keep thinking 'hedgehog' when I look at them.
Mesmer: Canthan, on both male and female.
Necromancer (F): Sunspear, Primeval

He even looks more dorky in that picture because the chick just behind him makes him look like he has a big white pompom in his hair...

Got to toss the Male Vabbian Necro armor in the the worst category with that massive collar flopping around it makes the Necro head look like the center of some kind of ugly flower.

They're not actually veins. It's some kind of artwork scrolling that has shiny metallic reflection mapping on it (think guild cape pin; it doesn't come off in screenshots).

Remember that Krytan and Asuran both share models with this set. The difference is that both are superior reskins. The Asuran set even has a meshfix for the pants for that annoying flap gap.

One more reason I hate it is that Saintly is supposed to be the elite version of Sacred (one of the best monk armors), but it has nothing to do with the Sacred set at all.

It's incredible. A lot of people in this thread say that warrior's FoW is the ugliest armour, yet so many people in the game actually wear it. I think it'd be hilarious if one of the people who said they found it ugly were one of the ones to be wearing it.
