This isn't Female Knights it is male platmail and I am not big on plate.It looks like they can't see over thier shoulders and the only good FoW armor I would say is Necro other than that none are that great.

The mesmer female 15k enchanter's might be the best. I've often been told that my mesmer looks like she's wearing a silve nightie/slip with a pair of silver spandex.

But one thing is for certain i always hide the mesmer domination mask...

15k Geomancer (female)... though I'm probably biased since I play a female Elementalist in 15k Geomancer armour. Just enough detail to it, just enough skin to be classy and still tasteful. No super-high-rise collar or lace-on-every-limb like certain other Elementalist armours.

Hmm my opinion has changed, best looking armor for me is:

Female Desert Collectors like mine here --> http://img399.imageshack.us/img399/5787/monke8tn.jpg

Very Nice pic and yes I do like the collectors armor if you have time to get all the stuff for the collecters.The saintly armor look pretty much similar.

Omg super-black druids! Hehe

That's running under Cedega on Gentoo Linux (after 3-4 hours of struggling to get cvscedega to compile and run Guild Wars, not to mention download times). It seems like any skins that include geometric changes to the character are put at full-black, because I've seen monks/necros with tatoos that showed up fine, and non-clothed people show up fine. Funny that the color on the mask shows up though, and the gloves of the druids (although maybe the gloves all use the same geometry? idk)

I kinda like the Female Mesmer Grotto/Citadel sets the best. Other good ones, to me, are the Female Ele Grotto Aeromancer, Female Necro Grotto Necrotics, and the Female Ranger Grotto Druids.

Best looking armor? Female Necro collectors

Second best looking armor? All female mesmer armors (can I have more inventory space so I can buy another set please?)

My recently finished 15k Studden leather is together with my monk the best looking in my opinion.

I just mix the armor sets I buy, because best looking armor is semi difficult to discuss what is attractive to one person is "wtf why did that guy buy that" to another.

My favorites:
1st Mesmer fow color doesnt matter the general look of it is awsome
2nd Warrior fow although common nowadays still has a good look to it
3rd Necros both male and female armors 15k sets mixing those is just awsome

I'm going to be very unpopular and say that I think the male FoW Ranger armor looks dead-awful! (I love my ranger so much, it pains me that he won't be the first to get a set of FoW ) ... now for my picks (that's picks, not pics):

Male
1) Elementalist FoW (in various colors) just looks neat, best of any male FoW IMHO
2) Ranger 15k Studded Leather, dyed black or silver (spiky-knees!)
3) 15k Platemail with/without ascalon helm

Female
1) Ranger 15k Studded Leather, very nice
2) Dead tie between Mesmer and Necro FoW armor ...
3) Female ele 15k anything-mancer.

And, a nice off-site addendum: The Information About Armor Thread has links to people posting the various types of 15k and Fissure armors, and people's various different dye combos. Stumbled across this one day while looking for pics.

Female:
1. 15k glads, pity I dont' have a warrior.
2. FoW Mesmer.
3. 15k Rogues.
4. 15k Pyro.
5. 15k Geo.

Honorable mentions: 15k wanderer's, 15k saintly, monk FoW, 15k tormentors, necro collectors.

Male:
1. 15k Wanderer's
2. Knights
3. FoW Mesmer
4. 15k Hydro
5. 15k Pyro

Honorable mentions: 15k noble, FoW monk, 15k necrotic (I think...), FoW ranger, 15k drakescale.

Dislikes:
FoW Necro, female is ok but not great, male is really quite nasty.
15k necrotic female, 15k cultist female - both a case of nicer 1.5k at droks.
1.5k hydro - just looks boring without being nice and shiny.
1.5k aero female - never liked it - 15k is much much nicer.
15k male aero - IMHO makes the male eles look even more gay, wizard robes look better on them.
1.5k male rogues - what WERE they thinking!!!

It's a five way tie for first with male warriors coming in way last. Warrior armor in general looks rediculous, but the male stuff is horrible. What I wan to know is why the designers have some sick infatuation with growths on the shoulders of so many armors. Unless it's a headrest for when some noob won't skip a cutscene with Rurik droning on and on and on.

Nothing wrong with watching the cut scenes. I have had a lot of grief for not skipping them and tbh this is my first time playing the game I would like to watch the cut scenes to get a feel for the story tbh

All the armour looks great. Cant wait till im 20 and can start working to get some

Lol in others words your a relitivly new noob and you have not seen the droks or grotto armor. I dont know I do like the look of most of the armor. The Warriors armor is ok... the knights looks the coolest... i had it but i got tired of it. Right now im using Glats. I cant wait to get to grotto to start on my 15k each armor. The monks armor is kinda lame... its not really that great designs or anything... just some cloths or a few tatos that dont match. Thats one thing i would love. Make the armor match. I know no one really cares... but hey its a trivial detail that would make a few ppl happy. Silky you dont have to be lvl 20 to start working on getting droks. My ele, just out of pre, got a run to droks and bought the armor. I was only lvl say... 5-7. I do have a lvl 20 W/Mo and Mo/W that farm for me... yes... the monk is invisi. Generaly the armor could use a nice spruse up. Mabey they will make some shiny new armor in FACTIONS. That would be cool i cant wait to get to the new contenent and start the new adv. SWEET!!!1!!
