If you see a piece that's incorrect or an alternative item with the same skin, please leave a comment below.
And by the way, only half of these sets are cosmetically original. I know my blogs and outfits well enough to know some of these have been lifted from other sites and slightly altered, whether it's by dye color or a single piece. If that is the case, I will provide links to the original creators and the specific outfits beneath each set to give credit where it is due.

Ugh, they made these really ugly! Hate the final compositions, they're just not right. Especially the guardian is appalling. Shame...
ReplyDeleteYeah, it either boils down to not being fond of either the colors used or the pieces of gear used. If the art department had spend just as much time on the Nadhin gear, I think we would have had some beautiful class armor sets. But I completely agree with you regarding the Guardian's set...it's the worst of them all visually.
DeleteThe Warden Helm is an original piece of SoA Armour, a random drop iirc.
