Have you ever picked a prof because you like the armor?

And other "odd" things you have done while playing this game?

I love the Ele - but hate the armor - so I created a Ranger (I love that armor) with Ele as 2nd profession Not exactly the same but she does have a pet AND fire LOL

Your turn - why did you pick your profession combo OR starting area OR any other choice that may not be the "norm"?

Does picking a sin because he's hot count?


And honestly I made a Paragon because I was forced into buying a set of fow for the HoM and male para fow is one of the few I actually like. And I think I never bothered lvling my para think he's like lvl 19 still.

Well, I created Paragon, maxed her level, bought her nice elite armor, just because she looks hot.
And I don't play with her at all.
She's there just to look hot in main menu.

Too bad we can't pick 1st AND 2nd profession armor - that would sure solve a lot of my problems LOL

What combo do you like best - if you don't play the one you like the LOOKS of best??

Made I derv b/c I liked the robed/hooded look.
Sucked at the start b/c I couldn't play them right though. Learned to play them and now I love the prof. Although it is lacking in some places.

Well, i've created a ritualist cause i like the armors, but only after the large buff gives me a reason to do it. Still, after crafted for her a monument armor, i don't use it so much.

I needed Vabbian, so I made a female para

no, but i did know exactly what armor I wanted when my character got to the place to buy it.

i made my main a derv because i think the female are cute and they have wicked smexy armor. its pretty much half of the reasons why i only play female chars. xD

I wouldn't say the reason Derv became my main was the armor, but the fact that it was unique definitely helped me make the choice. I made the Derv my main because even before NF came out, the lore behind them of a "scythe wielding holy warrior that wears a hood in humility to the gods" sounded really enticing.

I guess you could say the hooded robe look helped me decide.

I have not played a prof because of armor..........

it wasn't till we got the Shining Blade jacket that I was able to actually make a Necro and not delete it because I could not stand looking at her.

My mes is my useless dress up char, I love the armors but am totally clueless at playing one.. so yes.. she was made just for the clothes.

Hmm, I don't think I ever did that, but yesterday I got my female ssin Vabby cause I think she deserved it after all the armbraces she's farmed me so far, and then when I dyed it white and put it on, I realised I HATED it, it was SO ugly that I immediatly salvaged it and ended up with 5 rubies in return xD

My only male character is my necro and my storage charr, but he doesn't count, but necro because the necro dance emote is so badass, and as a diehard metalhead myself, I just had to have that^^

Better question is, did you ever pick a gender for a prof for the armor? Because I can imagine someone wanna play a male mesmer, but by GOD their armor is HORRIBLE! All of them! It's as if they let a blind guy with down syndrome make it, just to make him feel important.

This is how a mesmer should look like

I made a warrior male, and got almsot every avaible armor on it. And I regret it so bad.... Female warriors look 10000x better D:

not really, since most of the armors I have for my characters that they currently use came out long after they were made (eg eye armors for 5 year old characters).....though I did make a new necro (before anet made it so we could change hair and face--since we were told that would never happen) so I could match vabbian to her. (and now since the makeovers she never gets played since my original necro was changed!)

I made a Necro just to get Asuran Armor. After she got it, I've played her for like 3 more hours and now she is just another storage character. Same goes for my Mesmer because I wanted that elite enchanters + fow boots dyed white. Another storage character

Interesting! I am SOO glad I am not the only one that creates a character then either doesn't play it or loves it because of the LOOKS!

I am really surprised there arn't more replies from Guys that created a Female Character just so they have something - ahh - hmmm - interesting(?) to look at ROFL.

I JUST got Nightfall so I can now create 2 new characters - hmmm will have to go look at the armor for the Dervish and Paragon......

My genuine view on armor would be its a shame monks can't have helmets..the only proffesion i dont really play is warrior so its a bit of a contrast.

People hate it but love the spikes on assasin armor but overall the best looking would be my mesmer

Well i made a female necro last night for the pure purpose of getting her vabbi armor(curse you 10k gems =.=)

so that means getting to KC... going that far into NF only for vabbi and maybe use the char for things like MoP in fow or something :P

As Lord Dagon said. I made a female necro for vabbi legs and ancient body/hands/feet. Then I made a sin for the ancient set also. A rit for regular kurz. So.. yeah I picked them for armors ^^;

It is the reason I have so many characters.
