Style Points

[hackedagainanda]

What is the best looking gear for a paladin and barbarian on external screen and on the character inventory screen?

I have an abhorrent Winged Helm, and a dusk shroud. What gear will give me style points?

Andy's face/Tal rashas are simply too gross to look at. Help me SPF, you're my only hope.

Style points from gear come from what the gear actually does, not how it looks graphically.

In before froz and Nagisa write 3 page essays explaining how wrong I am.

 

[hackedagainanda]

I am more than ready for the brilliant essays.

Bring them on.

Tangentially related, does anyone know of any resource that shows what all the different armours look like on each class?

Ah, thank you. Clearly I should have tried looking harder. :whistling:

OT: I've always liked the look of field plate on "tanky" (visually) characters. Particularly in the darker palettes. Umm.. gogo leviathan?

Nothing at all is generally the best look. Nothing like seeing a naked mad man coming at you with a giant axe. You just know he is one mad Monday through Friday'er. I mean, if you saw some guy with a giant axe coming at you wearing nothing but a loincloth, I mean, I don't know what I would do, because, I mean, that's just mad. Mad crazy.

For me, studded leather or chain mail looks best on a paladin with a circlet on (or anything that shows no helmet).

And a barb, full plate mail/field plate/gothic plate with a slayer guard type helm, now that is a good looking barb.

 

[Darkthrone]

Definitely agree with the full plate mail on a barbarian, but I think the grim helm look is best.

One of my favourite set ups is actually for a necromancer. I wore Wormskull + Silks of the Victor + Lidless Wall + Ume's Lament. While standing out of town at the right angle with bone armour he looks so bad ***. I used that set up for my level 99 necromancer back in the 1.09 days running cows. People would make fun of me until they saw the power of corpse explosion.

Just came here to say that Frozzzen and Nagisa are experts in stylepoints. They can make fashion kings from both paladin and barb.
Now bye. /flee

Anything green on the helmet is definitely sexiness. Green pelts, barb helmets, or skull helmets = more sexiness.
