Armored Thief

Who knew Strider's and Viper's armor work so well together?

I'm going for a more heavy armored look for my thief. Believe it or not, people seem to subconsciously associate "skimpy armor" with "glass cannon". The more you look like you're made out of tissue paper, the more likely people will focus you in WvW and SPvP. Also helps that this setup makes my Thief look like a Warrior on casual glance... that is, until I start teleporting and start stabbing people in the back.
