Have you ever made a character *just* to have an armor set?

I've done it once already; male Vabbian armor on an elementalist. Trying to actually play on him more so I can feel better about the money spent.
Now I want to make a Necromancer for his FoW set >.>

What about you?

No.Good Luck on getting that FoW set as I gave up on mine for my Monk as I will not do UWSC.Ecto and Shards is getting harder to get for the casual farmer and player.

lol that sounds crazy to me, but mostly because I couldn't bring myself to play through the game again. it'd be nice if you learned some news things along the way but it really doesn't matter in the long run. some people love collecting armor and have a lot of fun in the process so do whatever you gotta do to enjoy yourself

I've always wanted to have a Necromancer anyway, and I can't think of much to spend money/time on other than a new character.
What would really affect my decision is if I knew exactly how the HoM will preserve your armor and titles. Like if I had a title on one character, FoW on another; would I be able to show off both at at time in GW2?

Do you guys ever feel like you 'have' to play that character so you wouldn't have wasted that money? Or is looking at them on the log-in screen enough?

Male ele. 15k Kurzick armor.

I don't feel bad over the time and money spent for the armor, since in the process he's pretty much become my main character.

I also made a male sin for the regular Luxon armor. Haven't played him much since getting it.

Made a Derivsh and took him through Nightfall just to get Primeval armor. Never use him except to open free chests and the very very very rare Alliance Battle.

A shame too, I kind of like him, I just can't bring myself to take him through another campaign.

I played my derv through nightfall until Kodash Bazaar, bought Vabbian armor, and haven't touched her since. She makes a very pretty mule. <3

Made a female rit for Ancient, female sin for exotic, male mesmer for luxon, and male ele for Ancient. Only the rit remains, not that I play her anyway.

made a warrior over a year ago to get the templar set, then deleted the warrior since i didn't like how he looked (as in, hair style, body size, hair color, etc), rerolled it, found no motivation to do the entire game again (i finished all 3 games sans eotn on him)

so decided to roll a ranger instead for the ancient armor or one of the eotn armor (the ones that look like trenchcoats), but is now instead kept in pre because i decided to do some char hunting instead.

then i found the leveling to be too much, so now i'm just back to my assassin main and chillin around in GH.

Yes my assassin.
I hesitated between assassin and mesmer, but I chose assassin because a mesmer would cost me too much (so many armors to buy).

Made a female Ranger just for 15k druids. Course she got deleted and it got salvaged. I've salvaged about 7 15k sets so far, all but one of which have been re-bought. (Funnily enough i'm making a female ranger just for this armor again.) :/

Yup, did it to get Vabbian for my Derv & Ancient for my Rit. Derv is now a mule .
Want to get Elite Cantan for my mesmer and maybe Elite Exotic for a sin if I get another char slot. Kinda to lazy to beat factions again cuz its my least favorite :/

No. I've made characters then gone after specific armors, but never made a character just for the armor.

Yep.

One day I thought "I really really want mes FoW" (female). But I had no mes, since usually the class and I don't get along.

Anywho, I rolled up a mes, got it ascended, took it to FoW. It went on to get Leg. Survivor and now she sticks around for playing with every now and then o_O;

Yes I have, on two occasions.

1) Made a female Ranger, just to give her Elite Druids Armor from Grotto, dyed white. I remember she was lvl 1 wearing that armor standing around GH scratching my head wondering what to do with her.

2) Made a female warrior, just to get her 15k Gladiator Armor. I've loved that set since I saw it the first time, just had to have it. Leveled her to 20 because I felt guilty spending that much money without using the char...then ended up making her my HFFF runner and leg. survivor. Cant stand playing warriors otherwise.

I suppose the answer is yes. I made a male mesmer took it to lvl 20, then eotn was released and decided I wanted fem asuran so I deleted the male mes and remade a female. However, i got bored before reaching asuran lands so i deleted her and never remade. Does this count?

Yup, Ritualist Vabbian armor, made the character just to get the armor set when I already had another ritualist anyways.

The character was neglected for 1 year after that until it was given FoW armor and a decent build to use in AB matches.

The old ritualist is now permanently retired to being storage.

I made a ritualist mainly to get ancient armor, but I never ended up buying it. I hardly ever play him, so I don't think it's really worth buying. Also, I had an elementalist because I liked ancient armor.

Yes my female ele. I already had a male ele, all my other chars are female, so I wanted a female ele too. My male ele is my primary (titles etc) though, so it's him and his harem for me .
