Which obsidian armor to craft?

[Dr.Robot-Guy]

I'm really thinking if I should go for light medium or heavy armor, I mostly play engi but I already have the best ascended armor for him so I was thinking to go for light armor so I can play more necro elementalist and mesmer, but light armor kinda looks meh, heavy armor looks the best imo but I don't play guardians revenants or warriors at all since they are mostly support classes.

Any advice?

Yeah.

Heavy armor. No reason to view X profession as mostly a Y class.

honestly, Obsidian armor is the most expensive Legendary armor set compared to every other Legendary armor set. The cheaper sets would be Raid, WvW, & PvP Legendary armor sets. The quickest is Raid. The easiest is WvW, while PvP is the second easiest. Though they take longer to acquire.

I wish there was some kind of trick to liking WvW. I usually end up watching a movie or something and mindlessly following the zerg until I am just too bored, take my hands off the keyboard and go do something else.

I would recommend joining a WvW guild and join their comms (discord). Especially if do comped groups. It is far more enjoyable that way especially in larger scale fights. I personally do a lot of support and find that very enjoyable (considering I often don't like playing support). You actually earn a lot of bags and sometimes even more bags than DPS people too.

I would base it on what your most commonly played armour class is.

I've got characters from every class but I notice that I mostly play Medium armoured classes the most (Rangers mostly) so that influenced which set I decided to make a piece for first.

I dunno if I'll ever make a complete set or multiple sets tbh.. I may do slowly over time..
But that was my thought process anyway.

The appeal of ascended level armour with stat swapping capability is definitely enticing.. especially for someone like me who likes messing around with builds and themes with their characters.

you can still get medium armor for your engi if you want, the legendary it allows you to change states anytime out of combat also you can use transmutation to change the skins to anything that you have unlocked already for free without using tranmutation charges if you want. Even though you have ascended armor on your engineer you can use the legendary armor on any medium weight class that you make in the future as legendary armor can be used across your whole account.
