Gladiator's Helm: The Right Choice
Energy +1
Armor:80
Tactics +1
Armor + 20 (vs. Physical Attacks)
Tactician's Helm: The Wrong Choice
Armor:80
Tactics + 1
Armor + 20 (vs. Physical Attacks)
Im sorry, but who in their right mind would take the Tactician's Helm? It looks the same, and doesn't have the +1 Energy! And I don't know of any tactics that would be worsened by having more energy!
The Helmet that will never be chosen!

Just like profession armor with subpar or even worse-than-collector armor stats. Nobody would buy it in their right mind unless they liked the look of it or thought they couldn't afford the other armors (like that would happen).

but the 15k ascalon helm looks cooler

well, i havent taken a look at the crafter yet for this matter, but have you checked the material costs? some frugal, and i mean REALLY frugal people might choose the worse helm if the materials cost less. this idea also applys to the proffesion armors that have no extra bonus other than the standard for that class. people buy it becuase its cheap. though that armor looks different so its a bit off :P

+1 Energy hurts your build? Swap weapons and helm to do that energy gain/loss thing that people do with the -energy weapons...

Probably unintentional, if you ask me.

Well.. gladiator reminds me of that movie, where basically you stand like a dork in an arena.
No way in hell would I want to be known as one wearing a "gladiator's" helm! A tactician sounds way cooler!

yeah, but technically, if you take the Tactitian's helm over the Gladiator's helm, then wouldn't that not be very tactful?
Heh, that means that the guys wearing a Tactitian's Helm are anything but XD

Wait, why the hell are you using a tactics helmet in the first place? Either get the leutenant's or one of the weapon helmets. End of story.

Are you saying he's not tactful?
Either you have ascalon/knight gloves or boots or you have a 15k ascalon helm. So it's alright for people to have a tactician helm if they don't have ascalon/ knight gloves or boots. Assuming everyone is tactful and knows that you only need one piece of armour reducing armour

On a similar note, anyone ever taken a look at these?

desperation blow (+42 damage and a random condition)
thrill of victory (+42 damage if you have more health than target)
+42 that is the same as executioners strike at 16 axe mastery
even Tactics warriors can spike

Both of the helms the OP lists are ugly and I would never be cought dead wearing one.
I know u can hide the head gear these days but still, I will still be able to see it in theinventory screen.
I use the ascalon helm with my gladiator set and got me the fow version of it.
Full dragon for strength
Platemail with the hex helm from denravi

The real comment should be about the useless armour (everything knight's except for one piece - say the helm or boots). As long as Knight's is bugged (if you don't think it's bugged, read the recently changed descriptions in a non-north american language - non-english/spanish where it says the damage reduction is to THIS SPOT), nobody will wear a full knight's suit except for looks. Even then, they will usually change out of it (except one piece since the damage reduction has been shown to cover the entire body) when they go into an instance or pvp.
The only other reason (such as mine when I first started) is for people that do not know that the damage absorption on each piece of Knight's covers the entire body (which someone will point out to them eventually). It will be nice when they fix that (yeah I abuse it myself and wear Knight's with my platemail), so the rest of the armour will have a purpose.

You don't need +weapon bonuses if your job is to hold a gear and cycle stances. Hence the Tactics helm is actually useful in PvE. It's basically useless in PvE though.

ugh your all dodging the issue! The fact is that in the PvP character creation there is indeed a helmet that will never be used, so why have it?

In PvP character creation the helm is there, and so is the Gladiator's Helm. Everything in PvP creation that you've unlocked is free, so, why is it there? It makes no sense in PvP but it does in PvE.
Not everyone pays as little attention to other people as you do. Move along, please.
Takkun is the OP, after all, he should have some idea as to what the topic is about, don't you think?
