Feedback talk:User/Stigtrix/Assassin Armour

I wholeheartedly agree with this suggestion. The assassin armors in GW1 just go overboard with all the spikes and whatnot. Assuming that the assassin profession does remain, I personally would very much enjoy to see some variation in armor styles. The assassin in general is portrayed in so many ways in so many different games. If GW2 could bring all these different styles together, it would be glorious. I also partially agree with the part about daggers, but i also feel it would be nice to see some even more unique dual weapon designs. Keyno-93 06:37, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

I agree with this suggestion. To illustrate, let me share my story. My first few characters in Guild Wars were Assassins. I spent a pretty good chunk of time playing as them, and I even managed to get one of them to the first tier of Survivor (after about 30 different attempts spanning four months -- don't you judge me...). Around that time, I started to wonder what my endgame armor options were so I could figure out what materials to start hoarding. At the time, there was no official Guild Wars wiki -- just the old wikia Guild Wars site. So, I went there, and took a gander at the Assassin prestige armors. Much to my dismay, I wasn't wild about any of them. I immediately lost any and all motivation to play the character, and picked up a Necromancer instead (which was actually tons of fun to play -- and only required one attempt to get the first Survivor tier -- and they have some pretty cool-looking armor...). The moral of the story is that wanting to see your character in cool armor is a motivator. Most of the assassin armor only seemed to appeal to a certain taste. Though, taking into consideration that cloaks and hoods and scarves and the like are currently the domain of Dervishes, it may make sense just to fuse the two classes together (making dervishes a subset of assassins -- as they probably would be anyway)... Well, that's probably not such a good idea, mechanically. But yeah. I agree with this suggestion. Dash-X 16:45, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
