What do you think is the "coolest" looking Elite armor?

I'm asking this because I'm actually having a hard time choosing an elite armor in Prophecies for my Warrior. I know it's an opinion thing, but I'd like some feedback from people who actually owns the armor. So what do you guys think?

I also own Eotn, and I know there's expensive armor close to the price range of Elite Armor too... There's the option of skipping Elite and going for Eotn's armor.

srsly, buy what you like.

dont just buy an armor because everyone else has it, and thats what will happen if you ask people for their opinion.

I'm having the same problem you are. Back when I first started playing, I decided on the Kurzic non-elite armor as being the coolest. I like my warriors to look like powerful knights, but without all the pointy stuff sticking out all over (what makes clumsy and overstated cool?).

Now that I've come back to the game, I'm disappointed to learn that the EotN monument only cares about elite armor when it comes to displaying your armor. So I go search the elites for a good armor, and they're all pretty bad. I had decided on the elite Kurzic since it's close to the non-elite, but just last night I saw someone with it in person, and side by side, the non-elite is much cooler looking.

I realize it's a matter of opinion, but to the OP, I feel your pain. I've thought of getting any elite armor for the monument, but I don't want people in the future (GW2) looking at my monument and saying "He wore THAT?".

Asuran.
Because it looks like the Kurzick but you can actually get it.

If there were no limitation though - Vabbi.

Elite Kurzik for male Warrior

Not impossible to get and have more detail and shine then the typical white asuran armor -_-

Over all: Elite Warrior Kurzick

For Prophecies I'd go with Knights, don't know if it's renamed.

Is it for a male or female character?

Oh, wait. Don't answer that, beecause it doesn't matter. Check out the artowrk on the wiki(s) and chose the armor that YOU like. We're not the ones who have to look at your character all the time, after all.

Buy what appeals to you, here are some of my favourates you could take a look at.

Silver Eagle
Norn
Elite Gladiator

Dont buy elite helms, most of them are hideous, take a look at getting one of the EOTN all prof headpieces.

Silver Eagle is an exception ^^

Anyways, the trick to choosing out the elite armor set depends on the weapons you use.
I use many black and red weapons so I made a black dyed elite canthan armor set. And it looks baddass along with my many weapons.

Oh boy, another can't decide/give me your advice threads. In all honesty it's all about preference. Don't let others influence that. But while we're at it, my warrior has elite gladiator armor. It's my fave but I'm also fond of Silver Eagle.

I've had the elite Kurzick set several times in the past (due to a bad rerolling habit), but on my current warrior I decided to go a different route. He's wearing elite Templar now, and I think it looks a little better.

imo kurzick > primeval > silver eagle > elite gladiator

elite glad is glitched on the belt (that's why I put it 4th), you can still use vabbi for a non glitched belt

other armors make me think "give me a can opener"

Asuran also wins because it doesn't have the Kurzick metal diaper - well unless you're a girl, in which case go get!

I'd have to go with Elite Dragon, Elite Platemail, Elite Luxon, Asuran, and Vabbian for dudes. If you're a lassie, go with all of the above and add Monument and Silver Eagle to the mix.

I personally like elite Luxon and my newest set ~ elite Kurzick (male warrior)

but then again i buy armor's according to which weapons i use so the best thing for you to do is look at the wiki gallery's.

In Prophecies I like Elite Dragon and Elite Templar. Other than Proph, Primeval is good.

Whichever set you get don't dye it black as you lose lots of detail when you do.

Not sure what campaigns you have (you mentioned Proph and EoTN), I have a few sets of elite for my male war (filled HoM) but by far my favs are Elite Kurz (Factions though) and Elite Platemail, it's from Proph and was my 1st elite set and still my fav, to me it is one of the only armors that actually look like an old set of armor. I actually detest male obby armor, makes you look like a bumpy bloated sack of....

Overall I'd pick primeval from nightfall but if I only had prophecies and eotn to choose from I'd pick chainmail elite or dragon
In the end though make sure it what YOU think looks cool

I got a few sets on my main (male war originally proph). My first set of elite dragon then wanted one from every campaign so got Primeval (NF), Silver Eagle (EoTN) and working on factions.

Hey... they don't build coffin's with pockets. May as well spend what ya got... this is a game right?

I do love kurz though...

For warrior, I only like armors that can be dyed so they look as much Black and Gold as possible.

Kurzick, Ancient and Sunspear are good examples.

The rest look just dumb.

Be one of those people that made it a trend to get low-end armor and make it popular... hahahaha at least it's inexpensive. Pre-searing war/Pre-searing monk/1.5K Kurzick Monk etc
then all you have to do is get chaos gloves and you're the sexiest character alive.

i made my decision since i have eotn, im just holding off and getting the armors there once im rank 5 instead. its cheaper than elite prophecy armor and imo looks better Then sometime i'll buy factions and pick up some kurzick armor cuz that looks cool too :P

I suggest 15K Sunspear or 15K Kurzick for male Warriors. If I display a helmet at all, I prefer the Sunspear 15K helmet (horns). The Kurzick Helmet looks odd from the rear and sides.

Tyrian Chainmail would of course make you stand out, give your warrior a name similar to "Stefan". :>

Primeval is my fav looking after FoW.

Imo, save up and get FoW (it doesnt take that long) but dont get the helm. because if you do, you look like a nob. so get another helm with it.
