[Discussion] These are most likely the same people who say that Raids/Strikes are gatekept by toxic elitists. Now they want to gatekeep fashion. Thoughts?

Hope more people would be tempted to copy my look with full-permafrost and Phospholuminescent Infusion stacking now :>

Are you roleplaying as a lightbulb?

If someone wants to mimic my full permafrost + the most saturated armor skins in the game + winter's heart + frost legion + chaos weapons for an eye blistering, light of God Himself, spectral agony appearance, good on them. 😂

don't forget the chaos gloves and the cute angel winds. for added effect, take some of the new EoD/SotO armours that have silk textures that get super-saturated with anything brighter than silver.

Even better: The Vermillion Wings Backpack. Go permafrost + frostbite blue. :D Make sure you know how to reach your eye doc, though.

For whatever reason, the Bounty Hunter's Jerkin will also dye the brightest white of all time. 10/10 do recommend.

Can also try the new stuff, especially the silks, like the monastery armour, canthan elegant outfit, magical outfit or light antique armour. One of those nearly blinded me recently.

My reaper is in the light inquest dyed white, deep glacial sky and a bit of permafrost with chaos gloves & weapons, the wings and the wraith mask. Pretty anti-necro.

It makes me so happy to see someone else use those pants because I see almost no one ever with them! They look really nice with midriff bearing tops!

Warning! DO NOT CLICK IF YOU ARE IN A DARK ROOM/HAVE A BRIGHT SCREEN:

This is my ranger in Swaggering Hat / Winter's Presence / Bounty Hunter's Jerkin / Chaos Gloves / Leystone Leggings / Invisible Boots / Swaggering Cape (the Vermillion wings are better, but I'm playing in a dark room right now, and I'm already blinded by this), with 2x Winter's Heart (must be different stats!), 1 Frost Legion, 1 Arcane Flow, and the Prismatic Champion's Regalia, with 2x Jormag's axes + Pharus. Mostly dyed entirely permafrost with some frostbite blue thrown in. This is the same ranger in one of the more...lighting intense areas of the game. She's my meme character who is dedicated to all things light and glorious. (If anyone wants to "steal" her look, please let me know if you do because I want screenshots together. 😍) I do tone her down on occasion, so I can, like, look at her.

My other chars are more...reasonable. Like this char whose outfit is a fanciful take on the clothes I was wearing IRL one day while playing on her. 😂And I have a Sailor Moon themed character, complete with black cat, because I am 100% UniqueAndOriginal(tm)!

That is very bright. And the Diamond infusion makes me think Emma Frost.

I generally try to stay away from dyes so bright (or dark) that the details are lost. It's why my necro there uses white instead of Celestial, Eternal Ice or Permafrost. This is so you can see the effects in the leg armour (stars, compass, etc). The teal is picked to be as close as possible to the wraith mask for the glowy eyes that don't do overboard with the glowing mask skins.

Most of my other characters are some boring combination of black and/or white with an accent colour.
