I've got a little theory.
There's 15k version of every ranger armour expect leather, and that seems to be the base for the FoW ranger armour. There's 15k version of every warrior armour except Knights, and that too seems to be the base for the FoW armour.
I'm not exactly sure on the other classes but if they follow the same formula as ranger and warrior armour, a they all have a type of armour that doesn't have a 15k version, but instead is a base for the FoW version.
why cant we hav 15k knights??

The 15k ascalon helm gives damage reduction, I much rather have a nice complete gladiator's then make it look like patchwork. At worse you could always hide the helm. |

I have no idea what you mean by base FoW armor. But what I do know, if i'm remembering correctly, each piece of warrior FoW comes with one set of mods from one of following sets: dragon's mods, gladiator's mods and ascalon's mods. All FoW armor no matter the type, all look the same for any given class. This is the advantage of having it. |

well papi chulo nice reply ur a very good cousin

I wouldn't mind seeing a set of 15K Knights as there is a set of Platemail.

There are many duplicate sets.
Dragons > Platemale
Boncelace > fanatic
tormentor > necrotic
The list goes on.
I'm not sure why they wouldn't make a 15k knight, It was the best looking set of regular armor. Perhaps its just that they didn't want to waste time making more duplicates or who knows. But I would have loved to see a 15k knights. It would probably look something like dukes in piken square which would be pretty hot. :]

I know exactly what you mean. I've been expecting this set for 7 months now... They just have to use the one they made for Duc Baradin, which is great and probably the best looking set of armor for warriors, my opinion. I would gladly trade it for my FoW set.
And who cares that this set would be the exact stat replica from the ascalon armor ??? Never would I buy this set which is the ugliest in the whole game, again my opinion. And if u look closely at all the pieces of armor in the game, there are many doppelgangers when it comes to stats. Do not forget that some players favor both looks and protections, which is my case.
Let's hope...

15k Knights?
Eh.. I've never liked the Knights armor 'cept the tunic and boots. Can't stand the helm.

I'm pretty sure Guild Wars/Anet has always stated the 15k armors aren't done yet, eventually they'll all be implented someday... And they'll stop cutting corners (THATS RIGHT! MOST 15k ARMORS ARE JUST RETEXTURES, I WANT NEW MODELS!!! NEW MODELS!!!)
What ever happened to this armor http://image.jeuxvideo.com/images/pc/g/u/guwapc006.jpg seemed perfectly fine to be implemented.

I GOT IT, I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT
i think anet realized they made a mistake making knights/ascalon less effective then the other armor types, they probably only made the 15k ascalon to keep all the newb wammos from rioting in the streets

yeah Nevin I found it weird to that in some screeny's there were armours who I've never seen and no it weren't screeny's from chapter2...
That armour looks pretty nice
about 15k knights? who needs it??

Now. Theres these people called gamers, some of them play a game called guildwars which you can get different kinds of armor... Some people like to look cool and badass.. Why?? because its apealing and thats just how the human brain works. Now do you understand why theres a reason?? Because they look different and some people "like" to wear a full set of armor, one that looks like knights armor. But maybe they'de like to spend a little more money and get a more unique version of it just like the other armors.. Hmmmm....

I wouldn't recommend knights myself. Decent players will discount you immediately sine you're wearing an armour thats essentially broken.
Unkemptwolf
I mustve missed something. My warrior wears knights armor and is absolutely fantastic. In PuGs, I'm almost always the last tank standing (though I'm also usually the first one in), and I've even had people compliment me on how hardy (if you will) my character was, in Sorrows Furnace no less! Does this mean I could switch to another (not broken) armor, and be even more powerful? Cause that would be cool.
Main Question: What is broken about knights/ascalon?

in PVP I can understand the benefits of mix n match knights + glads, but in PVE it doesn't matter. I've been playing for months finished the game a looong time ago, done countless FoW and Underworld Runs, all in FULL knights armor.
Why? because the other armors are ugly and I refuse to let my warrior run around in a skirt. 15K plate would be awesome except I can't get over how illogical it is to have GIANT shoulder fins blocking the warriors field of vision. It's a personal preference and I really couldn't care less about the "decent" players that would exclude an experienced player from their group just because of the armor they are wearing. There's always another group somewhere else.
Trelon Burg
I'd rather them release a whole new type of armor, then waste their time reskinning an old one. But chapter 2 is coming for a reason, so maybe you should just bide your time and be ready to pounce on a new set, instead of worrying about a prolithic wammo skin. I'd like to see armor that actually does something special like the lieutenants helm that reduces hex duration, it'd be awesome at a max armor rating. But thats my 2 cents.
Andy the Mad
well of the armors that r alrdy here i prefer 15k plates and glads and i hav both of em but really i would luv it if they took out ascalon and put in knights

cmon dude, pick your battles, the shoulder pads are blocking the warrior's view more then this helmet? nothing illogical about wanting something to keep a swift chop to the neck from lopping off your head

It's such a shame that knights and ascalon armour are effectively broken.
would be nice if the chest piece didn't stack, so that a full suit would have double absorb and not be so utterly inefficient.
Problem I have is every Wammo who uses Knights I've seen just gets hammered when tanking. My Warr/Nec is much more effective at soaking it up, and I only ware platemail, so I assume that the extra +5 is making all the difference

But, since there are no mounts, polearms or jousting duels, I might be wrong about the tru reason behind the fins...

my guess is...Aerodynamics :P

15k knights = fow i think.

Andy, Why do did ju even ask this stupid question?

I would love a set of 15k knights, as long as it looked like Justiciar Hablion's armor. That would be pimp.
