No more lame wet-body suits, please!
When I look at most of the male Necromancer armor, I can't help but say to myself "What were they thinking!?".
Give us some generic robe and I'll be happy (I do applaud them for being somewhat creative initially, though a lot of the necromancer armor is starting to look the same). Examples:
Suggestion for future Necromancer armor... (Image heavy)

Haha, I hope you aren't serious about the Black Mage armor.
I Like that one on the top though, especially since Necromancers are considered Dark/Unholy versions of Monks.

i like the 2nd picture..
most necro armor is lacking in the style section to some degree compared to something like mesmer armor
something more gothic would be better

I'd highly appreciate some kind of casterlike looking armor. I'm not too keen on Nightgowns and downright underwear on females (alternatively the ultimate nerd look).
If you actually look at Emperor Kisu, you can see that the engine is suitable for robes (well minus the uber ridiculous headpiece :P) http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:Emperor_Kisu.jpg.
But i'm going to disagree on one part. No don't just give those to the necromancers. Give it to all caster classes alike. I'm just somewhat tired to see all this semi-nude or large spikes growing out of the characters... uhm let's just not got there :P

maybe even get monks some robes or elementalists, I awlays thought of mage types wearing robes.
But maybe we could even get something of a Dr. Orpheus(from venture bros.) type of armor ;D
Though i cant say Id be anymore happy with vivi's armor

I'm actually really glad that there are no robes. I'm sick of robes. Every fantasy setting puts mages in freakin' robes. Nothing is more played out than robed wizards.
That said, male necro armor does suck horribly and needs a new and very different look the next time they get around to adding any. Just... not robes, please.

I think the art team are going to witht he "None Classic" mage look for most of the caster classes, therefore the lack of robes.
Althought the undead and some mob does wear more of a robe look.

I like the robes. #1,3, and 4 look cool. I think they could pull of using robes for one chapter. Not as a consistent look for all chapters, but as a style for a certain chapter. Maybe Chapter 3, cause Arabians/Middle Easterns where robes right?

I think some more attractive and loose garmets would look good on alot of casters, but what really shines in thos pictures is the cloak.
Just allowing characters to pick their own cape type and create cloak type looking capes which cover the shoulders and somewhat in front would jurassicly improve the look of most characters, the silly 5 yr old play capes are pretty ugly, and look even worse with certain armors, not to mention that they went and added "remove cape" feature so players can play without the tacky cape on their backs because they know it sucks.
One cape type for an entire guild will certainly not match for everyone in the guild, having a guild cape should be player based, players should pick their own capes, and the guilds emblem and color scheme would show on whatever the guild chooses. This way players can choose capes, cloaks, and hopefully even sashes, divided banners, capes with shoulder risers and such, all of these would be much better, customized looks for each class would greatly improve the visual aspect.
The exsisting cape feature is almost worthless now, it was mildly entertaining in the begining, but now it is just an ugly requirement in GvG. Replacing the cape selection and schemes is a near neccessity, and I hope Anet chooses to fix it.

I cann't shy away from a creative challenge... so here is a robe version of Necro armor set, done with pencil. Its a bit base off that floating ghost mob (forgot the name), so could be call Spectra Set.

And look like someone is a Fire Emblem fan... but where do you get all those high Q pictures?

Actionjack's cool ass picture, really cool.
The pictures shown bring about more of a sorcery type feeling of the necromance. But no kudos on the Vivi image...

I pick #1,4 and Action Jack's Piccy, I want #4 for ele's I love the red look especially with the hand tats, and Jack's pic is hands down FTW for the necro, plus that scythe is badASS! I would love to see a tank decked out in dark ass stuff running down a mob with a scythe, Grim Reaper FTW

I know they probably already have most the armor designed for chapter 3, but I can still pray that one of those are Robes :-/
Wretchman Drake
I think you should be able to have an option to put a robe on for any character for an epic look, leave armors the same.
Nevin
These pics are too anime-ish.. You'll see stuff like that in Lineage 2, But not in Guild Wars. On another note, I fully support the good ol' robe for our caster friends. Seriously.. The elemantilists aren't very magical untill they adorn some layers and a nice trenchy-robe. How about some hoods too? Scars and Third Eyes are nice... But I want to be hooded and look dark and mysterious.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty happy with my 15k Kurzick male (though I was too lazy to fetch a picture of my actual character, haha)

I dunno, I like most of the necro armor sets. The only one I don't get are tattoos. Because when I see a hairy armored man swing an axe at me, my reaction is to take off all my close and show him my barbed wire tattoos? Yeah, makes perfect sense.
I think what both the monks and the necro needs are a lot more of robes. It's almost a staple in MMOs and it doesn't take too much creativity to think of something fairly mystical-looking and regal.

You know, the robe Emperor Kisu is wearing is really a good example of what the casters should have in their wardrobe.

I'd prefer something like this (Except make it more necromancer-ish and look more loose fitting): http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Image:A...Undye_Full.jpg
Even better, how about something like this (minus the goofy hair):

Now those suggestions I like. Long coats are never a bad thing.

I guess Dervishes kinda got what I was looking for for Necroes...

Off Topic: Bascially All I'm Doing is Copy - Paste. Then I use various PhotoShop tools to make it look good / realistic / Match lighting / Brightness etc etc etc, make it look as part of the image.
And thank You!

Who else here wants to look like a Black Mage? I know I do. That would be cool.
Great pictures in this thread, I agree with more menacing looking armor for Necromancers.......I mean come one! They worship the god of Death!

Yeah robes for necromancers would be nice...

I just remembered, I was drawing a dark gothic version of shiro (don't ask :P)
I'll scan that in, though, it is quite crap armor.

It wouldn't look so good with a cape on I guess why that there is no Ropes

Monk (common real life definition) - A person who focuses and trains to achieve control over his mind, body, and spirit in order to accomplish transcendence.
Monk (fantasy definition) - replace "person" with "warrior."
Necromancer (Common fantasy definition) - A spellcaster class who uses magic to influence or manupilate life and death.
Necromancers traditionally are both healers and killers. There are as many evil necromancers as there are evil warriors. Necromancers are improperly named in GW. They should be called "Painmage" or something similar. Necromancers are the most deserving class of a hard res spell. Yet they do not have one.
