Ascention Gladiator's Male Armor set.

Both sets look better than the 1.5k counterparts to me, with the exception of the female leggings though.

I really like it, one guy from my guild already had it waiting to change and i gotta say the only one they added after release i like more is the male aeromancers. big thumbs up for this set

Damn, I was hoping it would look better. Guess I'm still saving for FoW Gladiator's chest.

Ugh, back to counting shards and ecto...

erm I actually kind of like the gladiator for girls I might trade in knights armor for that.

really ugly imho. the females are horrid looking. and the males are wearing a man-bra for heavensake! :x

I want the designer(s) of the gladiator's armor set, especially the 15k female set one(s), fired.

I think that they look pretty sweet. What I do, if the armor doesn't look the greatest mix it with its 1.5 counterparts to get a unqiue look.

The boots are awesome. I wish there was a whole armor set like that. I guess for the rest I will stick with regular gladiator's. And I don't understand the big deal about the chest piece showing one nipple. OMG, not that. Better than wearing a man-bra.

Honestly, the new armors seem to get worse and worse as they are added. I won't even comment on the druid armor...

I quite like it.

Ehhh... Looks like the artist for the female druid, male gladiator, and female gladiator sets decided to slack off. Shows more skin than actual armor :/ Not even tasteful. Thanks to the people who bought this stuff and/or posted screenies. Least I know where my gold won't be going.

I think I am going to hurl...

That is the worst looking armor ever.

I think the female version looks quite hot :P
Doesn't look like it would provide much protection though like the platemail.

The 1.5k set has a few pieces that look weak, the gloves and boots look really stupid. And the hat (yes hat) looks a little uninspiring. The chest and leggings don't look too bad.
Did you get the helmet too? I haven't seen it yet for the male warrior

I don't think the 15k armor looks too bad, certainly unique.

I like the Gladiator Armour...the extra armour on the sword arm ties in with the Roman Gladiator vision (protect the sword arm so that you can still fight even if bashed)...

afaik there isn't a Gladiator Helm (which makes this the cheapest 15k armour set) - I use the collector helm from the Crystal Desert as the one you buy just doesn't seem to go with the armour...

My female W/E posing in her new kit:

Here it is female set dyed dark blue (blue+purple). I bought it several weeks ago and had to wait for the update, which I happen to like. There is no 15k Gladiator Helm so I use a Knights Helm.

Mm... I think I'm not liking the lower part of the armor, but the arms and torso seem really nice. I'm really starting to wonder if the warrior models legs are somehow weird. :P

P.S. About the female armor... doesn't damage mainly occur in your chest area? Am I seeing absolutely no armor in the chest area? Except for the leathery looking bras there, ofcourse. Kinda funny... thinking this IS the warrior of the game, the one with the MOST armor on. Beats me.

That's a good point, they need like a steel plate coverin' their goods...not some tiny leather strap I could use for a belt.

"Rawr!!! I'm a big stone golem prepare to be crushed into a horribly mutilated/mushy liquid!!! *throws several gigantic stone boulders at female warriors torso*

Warrior: "Muahaha!!! Nice try, but you'll not be squishing ME with those giant 2 ton boulders, I'm wearing a bra. Hahaha! Fear my wrath and my unpenetrable knockers of...leather?"

Stupid, just stupid.

Looks to me like they got halfway through designing the armour and then stopped. Nice boots, good arms, but where's the middle?

this might just be me, but I think they were going for a Gladiator-y look, leaving certain parts exposed.. It does 'sorta' resemble some of the stuff you see in Gladiator pictures/movies...

I like it. I will admit its not made for general acceptance. But this is the look i want for my warrior, ya.

the chest for the female gladiator needs to have metal breast plates designed like the boots.


anet needs to wake up here.


I just hope that the 15k Knight set dosen't look like shit
