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?

can't say that i have. though by pure luck all the characters i've made have armor sets that i enjoy..

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?

Yes, my rit. I really wanted ancient armor and I wanted it before halloween last year :x

yes, female necromancer asura armor. Wanted to get a blindfold but its rather hard to get.. I kinda stopped playing her, i gotta get in to mood to spam spitefulspirit i guess.

Yup. Rit for monu/asuran armor, para for dwarven.
Hell I dont even touch those chars anymore, just wanted to waste money ^^. Same with all the sets of armor I have for my derv xD Cept, I play her..kinda..

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?

My monk. 15k Kurzick looked so bamf.

I haven't touched him since I got it.

Actually started playing my mesmer just to get her the combo I just got. Most expensive 5 pieces of armor i've ever bought for one char at a time besides full obsi for wammo.

i came so close to buying this... then i was like, nah, not worth the effort to get amber..

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 personally havent, but i have a friend who will ONLY make a character if he knows there is an armour set that looks good.

Yep I made Mesmer to get mesmer FoW. Course I picked terrible hair and I'm now stuck with it..

Yes. See my female Necro with Vabbian, my female mesmer in general, and my male rit. I love me some dress up!

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

Yes. I made my Male Ele just for 15k Luxon, dyed red. I saw it on the wiki at some point and fell in love.

Nope, never had that much money to spare lol.
