I hate the necro FoW armor. Anyway...

Necro: Elite Luxon, Asuran, or Elite Canthan
Dervish: Primeval, hands down.
Sin: Vabbian or Ancient
Warrior: Probably primeval, imo
Ritualist: Norn
Ranger: Elite Luxon
Paragon: Any that doesn't show too much skin is good in my book.
Monk: Primeval
Elementalist: Obsidian
Mesmer: Primeval or Ancient.

Side note: NO, most male armors don't "suck".

Elite canthan ranger. More to female than to male though. I also like the Vabbian for pretty much all professions. For para, IMO it's definitely norn. Asura is nice for necro, too.

Forgot to mention one thing I don't like about the female armors. They need to incorporate a food filter into them. Can you honestly tell me that every single female in the realm is anorexic with giant jugs? -1 anet. Feed em next time please.

Female necro must be vabbian.

Haven't "upgraded" the rest of my chars yet.

Warrior used to be primeval but seems like the most warriors use this armour.

First issue is the shape mesmer certain coats make when running. Canthan is one example, FoW is even worse.

The second issue is the colour of the sleeve.

It's always that ugly gray so there really isn't much that can be done here. Hence black.

And don't get me started on the length!

Such a shame that they wasted what could have been one hell of a set, because the details on it are insane!

I like the sleeves, guess that's a personal choice issue, and I also like the length of the shirt, rather oriental IMO..

Also, if u hadn't noticed, I'm fairly sure that in GW, the sin is about the only class where the male doesn't have at least one skirt in the armor lineup. You do have points, certainly, tbh though, I take issue with most of the run animations over all the classes.

*Edit. One thing to note with the red, is far less colour bleed from the gold/green etc areas.

How did you dye the top then so that it doesn't clash with the grey of the sleeve?

(Oh and the skirts were the reason why I ADORED my rit!

)

EDIT:
Ohh so it's pure red?

Yeah, it's pure red, I think a big part of making Leet Canthan look it's best is your choice of gloves and most especially headgear. I perfer this helm over all for the job, this image he has glacials, but it's chaos now. If your gloves are always gonna clash, they might as well glow while doing it..

In my opinion, the following are the best for each class.

Warrior: Elite Templar
Ranger: Elite Kurzick or Norn Armor
Monk: Monument or Deldrimor Armor
Necro: Elite Kurzick, Elite Sunspear or Vabbian
Mesmer: Elite Sunspear or Vabbian
Ele: Elite Luxon, Vabbian, or Deldrimor armor
Assassin: Asuran or Monument Armor
Ritualist: Norn or Obsidian armor
Paragon: Obsidian armor
Dervish: Vabbian for females, Norn for males (it's like the only male derv armor that isn't ruined by all the brown that the armor designers decided to smear all over the rest of their armor)

Warrior
Male: Elite Dragon, Elite Templar, Elite Kurzick, Elite Luxon, Ancient and Deldrimor are great. But my vote goes to Elite Dragon.
Female: Elite Templar, Elite Gladiator, Vabbian and Silver Eagle. The best is Vabbian.

Ranger
Male: Ancient, Primeval, Norn, Monument, Deldrimor (with Dragon gauntlets), Obsidian. Hard choice, but Norn wins.
Female: Elite Studded Leather, Elite Druid, Luxon (normal better than elite), Deldrimor. I like Luxon the most.

Monk
Male: Elite Kurzick, Ancient, Norn. I think Anciet wins.
Female: Elite Saintly, Elite Canthan, Monument, Asuran, Deldrimor. But Deldrimor is superb.

Necromancer
Male: Elite Cultist, Elite Kurzick, Elite Sunspear, Vabbian, Norn. I'll vote Norn.
Female: Elite Necrotic, Elite Scar Pattern, Vabbian, Deldrimor (but with some other boots). Of course, Vabbian wins.

Mesmer
Male: Elite Elegant, Elite Kurzick, Ancient, Monument. Ancient is the coolest.
Female: Elite Rogue, Elite Enchanter, Elite Kurzick, Elite Luxon, Norn, Monument, Obsidian. Somehow I find Norn the most elegant.

Elementalist
Male: old Apprentice's, Vabbian, Ancient, and maybe Norn. Ancient wins by far.
Female: Elite Luxon, Elite Sunspear, Norn, Deldrimor gloves+boots+(Kurzick or Luxon or ShingJea). But Elite Sunspear is the most sexy.

Assassin
Male: Elite Imperial, Elite Kurzick, Norn, Asuran, Monument, Deldrimor (but it dyes awful). Asuran is just perfect.
Female: Elite Exotic, Elite Luxon, Norn, Monument, Deldrimor full. I think I'll vote Monument.

Ritualist
Male: Ancient, Norn, Monument. I don't like them too much, because they are strange, but I'll vote Norn.
Female: Elite Exotic, Asuran, Monument. They are all strange, but Asuran wins.

Paragon
Male: Norn. Only Norn, others are gay.
Female: Elite Sunspear, Vabbian, Primeval, Monument, Deldrimor (with sunspear gloves and elonian sandals). But I'll choose Vabbian (although some may say it covers too little).

Dervish
Male: Elite Sunspear, Primeval, Monument, Deldrimor. Monument is so awesome. A little bit futuristic, yet samurai/jedi like.
Female: Elite Sunspear, Vabbian, Asuran, Deldrimor. I'll say Elite Sunspear this time, although many part can't be dyed. But I like that torso.
