Here you can See my Mesmer in his newest style. As you can see in the title, i wanted to get a Battlemage-look. I thought a Mesmer would add a nice litle twist to it compared to most of the battlemages, which don't use any kind of illusions.
Because he should be a Battlemage he needed something too guard if he took attacks, which i think could be achived with the shoulders and/or with his right hand, both pieces of gear seem kinda heavy even as light armour.
The robelike chest (and pants) and the shoes are easy to move in, in contrast to hand/shoulders.
