Here now I present myself. Guild Wars 2 is a great game, nice customization and all, some neat looking character due to the creativity of players ( along with the deadliest combos you can imagine ) bringing us masterpieces–player-assembled costumes. When a guy from my guild gave me this link, saying that I should post mine, I had some doubt, but then I realized why not.
So here we go with a brief explanation and some screenshots.
With all the due respect for the fantasy side and medieval/magical themed weapons that are available to gather in GW2, there’s one class where wearing magical weapons and bone made ranger style outfit lacks sense. Now that’s the engineer ( of course is my personal opinion so feel free to send me to plant potatoes somewhere ) however, the concept of the engineer is simple, you use guns including pistols and rifles or either a shield to protect yourself from elementalist bad aim, you drink elixirs like crazy finishing up like a junkie, you pop turrets that you had in your pocket, just to see them die right after. You have grenade kits flamethrower kits elixir gun to drug other people and that’s about it !
Sadly there’s no magic involved, so the reason to have magic themed gear or either magical weapons is for me a mystery. ( Always respecting other people tastes nonetheless )
After this boring explanation, I’m going to proceed on how I built my engineer gear.
My engineer is a human female, so most sets does not properly fit the character–few that can be used are found in Sorrow’s Embrace but will make me look like a human MALE because is too bulky, the cultural tier 1 fit but is a pretty poor looking set, some crafted gear can be used, the karma set from the cathedral is fine at first.
But when you want to build your own personal character you start to combine pieces from different sets, finding the right dyes and build your character as you want it.
So here is my gear setup.
- helmet -> Aetherblade set ( gem store )
- shoulders -> Aetherblade set ( gem store )
- gloves -> Aetherblade set ( gem store )
- chest -> Inquest chestgear ( Crucible of Eternity )
- legs -> Cultural tier 1 human
- shoes -> leather shoes ( crafted )
- backpiece -> molten alliance jetpack ( trading post only right now )
- weapons -> 2x aetherized pistol ( various sources )
I assembled the techy parts I find suitable to the concept of an engineer and that were balanced on a female character, most of the work is done by the jetpack nonetheless and the choice of the dyes was also very important to give it enough contrast.
I hope you guys enjoy this character as much as I do, my guild know better. And I wish good luck to every other person participating in this contest, hopefully I gotta see some fancy looking creations !
Good bye and thanks for reading !
