Since monks can wear light armor... any thoughts been given QtM to adding sets of armor that melees can use with a different emphasis in stats to make them appeal more to us?  Obviously AC would be lower on light armor, but you could compensate for it with greater avoidance/dodge adds to a degree...

I just want some Martial Arts gear :p
I miss my full set of Dalnir armor with the bare chested look, or my all black pantherskins   idiot2

What can i say... there's times when i'd rather just look the part + socialize (role play)

I think it's the orcs that need dresses most ;p


I'd just like to see that offered option exploited some.  We can wear light armor, so put some out there that we'd use.  And if it so happens that your bp gives you a more martial arts look, all the better.  As graphic intensive as vanguard is, i'm often surprised how many opportunites they skipped over.  Bracers should have graphical looks that change, same with arm armor.  Add some variety to appearances, so people stop looking so much the same.  Monks can wear light armor, but currently it'd be pointless.  I was just thinking t hey could add some pieces in that you'd think twice about wearing.  That's all, just a food for thought statement to QtM.  I still also feel we need alot more variety in our weapons, both in type, and in graphics.  It's one of those things that come with a game over time.  Sure there's plenty of more important things that need done in vanguard first... but not every resource is tied up into those same things.  And perhaps along the way, they'll discover new ways to improve the game somehow... sorta fine tune the game engine etc.  Not an earth shattering post, yet hey it was in my thoughts a few times.  It's not often i've seen players geared up and said wow, look at them.

Yes i suppose you have a good point.
It would be nicer if "exotic" builds were more viable. So that you are never quite sure what you have is the best, and it's a bit of a mystery.
Atm we just go for Str & dmg rating & crit rating, pretty limited but saying that there are still many choices of gear/drops in VG. I'm sure noone with monk as their main has the exact same gear as another.
Anyway i'll /sign your idea
I wanna see orcs in dresses tbh  Grin

Don't forget the obvious solution. They can make Monk/Disc specific gear with light armor look and medium armor stats. So we loose nothing but obtain the look your asking for if so desired.

Nope, already tried asking for monk specific armor elsewhere.  Think on the offical forums.  But i figured QtM actually listens at times so....
I just wouldn't mind seeing them make use of the things they keep putting in.  DPS classes can wear light, but there's 0 reason for them to.  So give us a reason, or change it.  As Dragon, my mitigations already fubar, if i can wear gear that'll give me avoidance galore, increased parry/dodge, or put my crit procs through the roof, i'd do it.  I already know i can't take a hit regardless of what the ac says :p

A Long while Back i remember finding a Medium Armour Monks robe type Garment worn in the Chest slot, the graphic was a Fryer Tuck Style "Monks Robe". im unsure if its in game still, but it looked pretty cool and left people wondering what class you were.
