Here it is 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.

I really hope they change both the female gladiator and the druids armor!
This isn´t an armor and it should be an armor! Do they really need something like that in the game?

they should have made the bra dyable

Hrrr... are they really trying to make all the female armors revealing more and more revailing? This is cool though.

I do not want to play a game where all female characters look like they came from the series "Xena"!

Heck if you think that's bad i find the 15k female mesmer armor the worst in the game. I'd like to see you people go fighting lvl 24+ monsters in nothing but a nightie, a NIGHTIE! oh man what where they thinking?! hahahahah!
Mavrik
saw that new armor last night and literally took a double take. Its beautiful. I'm kinda jealous even though Elementalists have cool armor to.
dargon
heh, their artist is a fan of Red Sonja type armor

WTH is going on over at Arenanet? Ok, the ele armors are a little on the sl*tty side with the pyromancer set actually covering up the most. But these are just ridiculous.

It looks decent, a lot better than 15k Druids female. I kinda like it, but then again, I like 1.5k gladiator's better.

I wanna beat the artists over the head...
Swampgirl Inez
well my decision is made... platemail for me...or I'll just stick with a 1.5k set
If the female version looked more like the male version, I probably would have liked it a lot more.

Male verison owns the female, I think. Female verison kind of looks like poor lady that cannot afford cloths

Whers the armor. Same thing in the 15k female druid set thread. i didnt see any armor there. I just see things covering up what needs to be covered up to keep it a little kid game. wowzers their cuttin it close
DarkWasp
Even if the females were a bird crap, I'd still never say males gladiator armor looks better in any way.
But yeah, I so much higly perfer the 1.5k female druids and glad.

Typical Gladiators don't actually wear a lot of armor, I don't think female Gladiators even exist irl.
A quick search on google reveals these for reference:

I think the 15k Gladiator set is great, however I can't seem to find a screenshot of the 1.5k to compare. Anyone care to give me a link or something?

Yeah gladiator sets have better armor points against melee. I thought it would be a little more tough looking or at least looks a bit protective... but how can it be better against melee with well all those body exposed?

Here is the female 1.5k gladiator's set dyed full silver with an executioner's helm:
Alathys Tylderaan
I dont understand why the armour has to be less effective if it's more scarcely placed on the body. By now everyone knows 15k armour is pure asthetics and it does it's job, it looks the part of some kind of roman gladiator. But does that mean the gladiator set should have it's armour values changed based on how it looks?
Divine Elemental
wow
i like it
now gotta buy one for my warrior!

Thanks for posting the 1.5k armor Spartan.
As far as I see it, the fact that the 15k armor reveils more skin shows that the wearer knows how to use the least amount of armor possible while achieving better maneuverability.
Better maneuverability means you can guard yourself much more effectively from melee attacks.
This particular armor shows how the warrior only needs to cover the areas that will be most vulnerable to attacks. These areas include the attacking arm, shoulder peice to protect the head and neck, and tough shin-pads to protect the feet.
You would have quite a bit of trouble trying to stop an arrow going for your chest, which would be no worries with Platemail.
I hope everyone understands that Gladiators aren't supposed to be covered up very much.

First the female mesmer fight with nothing but nightie, now the female warrior fight with swim suit? Imagine they all cry "why did they do uber dmg to me?"

No problem guys, I was just browsing this and saw that now one had posted it yet. The original armor is roughly the same yellow hue as what is shown in the original 15k shot at the beginning of this topic.

I don't understand why they go with Gladiator armor. Gladiator is known to ... take off their armor. The Romans wanted quick gore, so they made the gladiator to fight with partial armor set (lacking a lot of pieces).
I would think warriors would start with a gladiator set and gradually go up to chainmail, platemail, etc.
Also am lamenting here (at work and not able to post pics): I made a mistake by upgrading my female warrior from ringmail to chainmail. She looks worst. Problem is,
I don't have the original armor set anymore.

The new female armors only support the theory about women in battle: They're neigh invulnerable everywhere EXCEPT their chest and lower regions. Why else would they show all that skin, yet cover those specific areas? Weak points. Additionally, skin-tight clothing provides more protection than loose clothing, as displayed by Taki in Soul Calibur II.

I understand gladiator armor and all, still doesn't change the fact it is but ugly.

I don't think it's the glad armor is unexpected. The 1.5k was nearly as revealing. I think what everyone is up in arms about is the fact that the fem druids armor is very revealing.. as well as a lot of the ele armor.
I'm not really all that bothered by it to be honest. It isn't the glad armor that really bugs me but yeah I think in general a lot of the fem armor is pretty revealing.
Then again though there are styles that aren't so much.

Here's my problem, though: That neck guard is on the wrong side. The majority is right-handed, wielding the sword on the right and the shield on the left. If you and I are attacking each other and I slash towards your neck, the slash will go from your left to your right. That neck guard, though, is on your right, and it is not gonna stop my sword.
Calibur
why is everyone complaining? if u dont like it, dont get it. easy as that. and they are also trying to make it where it is believeable rather than fantasy like. a druid armor actually having armor wouldnt really say it is a druid armor.
same goes for the gladiator. if it has more armor. it would be more than a gladiator armor, it would become a platemail, knight armor, or just armor.

IMHO, 1.5k leggings > 15k leggings, so keep get the 3 pcs of 15k glad but keep the leggings, it looks better that way actually.

Because the design of that armor set is designed as if you had a shield in your other hand. The design assumes that you'd block a slash at your neck with the shield.
