I am really liking the blue tones lately, I feel it matches really well with my guardian. One of the few sets I've made where I feel like the radiant gloves actually work. I've seen something similar to this before so it's nothing ground breaking obviously, just thought it looked nice. As always, feedback welcomed.

Edit: Added glove variations.

I don't like the gloves but the rest is simply perfect. Gold!

I wouldn't have put those gloves nor the wings, but the overall look is really great! Good job!

I think the reason you're not scoring golds is because you've gone a little over-the-top. Plus a lot of your over-the-top items are over-done, (gloves, wings, sword) which is a shame, because they can be really nice.

But yeah, the wings, the gloves and the sword - they all detract from any realism in your character (which you may or may not care about), and draw attention away from your excellent armor mix and dye job.

If I were you, I'd try some less flashy items. A sword that is epic, but not glowing (Kymswarden or Khrysaor, the Golden Sword maybe?) Gloves that match the ornate metal of your set, but again... not glowing. And the back item... Personally I think wings MIGHT work on your character (Paladin-esque) - but maybe try something more discrete and less distracting.

Hey Elbretto, I hear yah... I have noticed people on this site tend to favor the more realistic armor/weapon combinations, which is fine, but I am still fairly new to the game and all the really flashy overused stuff is still eye candy to me. Also, gw2 isn't a very realistic game in any sense. However, I do very much appreciate your input and advice. I will make a more realistic set when I make a new addition to the website.
