The GW2 outfit doesn't (in detail) match any of the player-wearable Rit armours from GW1, but, as noted, the female set is closest to the Luxon ones. Something similar was true of the Sunspear outfit - it looks a lot like Paragon armour from a stylistic point of view, but in fact it's a good match for some of the GW1 NPC Sunspears. I don't have the patience to go digging through all the various NPC Rits in GW1 to find which one it looks like...

 

Further analysis: the male outfit is clearly closely inspired by (but not 100% identical to) male GW1 Seitung armour, while the female outfit is inspired by (but not 100% identical to) the GW1 Luxon sets.

It looks to me like the female version is based on [this promotional art](https://wiki.guildwars.com/images/8/85/%22Ritualist_Jade_Sea%22_wallpaper.jpg "this promotional art"), which was on some of the Factions boxes and posters. There's also some [Factions concept art](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/83/26/11/832611e087af4eb20594bb2c767e0861.jpg "Factions concept art") (and, if I recall correctly, other pictures in the Factions manual) showing a similar outfit. Apart from the cut-outs, the skirt, gloves, headwrap and tattoo patterns look pretty much the same.

 

The male version seems to be an almost exact copy of Seitung armour.

The biggest complaint I have about the Elonian Elementalist outfit is that all of those flowing arm-cloths broke the feminine form. Even if it was more revealing, it looked like a woman was buried under torn, linen scraps.

> It sure does look great on male humans though. Finally a revealing outfit. Yeah, they could do better, but I've got nothing else.

 

Agreed. And since my male human is also an Elonian elementalist it's pretty much perfect for him.

 

Surprisingly I think the ritualist outfit looks best on charr. It looks a bit less 'messy' on them, and I like the way it goes over their tail. I didn't worry about how the hat looks because I'd hide it anyway. It also suits my norn necromancer, although it hides most of his tattoos.

[Traced.3495]

It's like I'm back home...

Well, I will never buy an outfit but if I can be bothered to log in and I still have enough old old old gems, that staff is the plan.

You're right, the outfit is very close to that piece of concept art.

 

I wish the skirt didn't have those cut-outs, though.

 

[Westenev.5289]

I guess different people like different things. I'm not too fond of it, but I guess it does have a sort of tribal shaman appeal...

[Elric.4713]

Champion Ritualist title and Ritualist outfit on my Revenant. Love it.

Ha, except now I realise that concept art is just [Luxon Armor](https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Gallery_of_female_ritualist_Luxon_armor "Luxon Armor"). Not sure how I missed that...

[Shiyo.3578]

Best outfit you've ever added, thanks a lot Anet very well done.

 

Please add more sexy/cute outfits like this in the future.

Just one step closer to making my charr rev a ritualist, this with envoy scythe and mad memoires: complete superstition make for a rad ghost boi

Except having a bare chest is not abnormal or considered an activist act for female Charr since they don't have breasts in the first place. Pretty sure it's the same for Asura.

 

Besides I didn't even suggest bare, I just said not a bra.

In Cantha, Ritualists despised the Necromancers for their practices and their messes (or something to that effect). It's stated early on in the game when you do the secondary profession quests. I find it funny, in a mockery sense, that a necro would dress up as one; You know, as blasphemy. Though, I would love to have Eve's outfit for true necromancy flavor. I was heartbroken when I learned I couldn't get her version in the first game.

'Bit late to the party, but here goes. Yes, Ritualists think Necros are unpleasant, but that's not them disliking Necros, would you appreciate someone turning your gran into a Bone Fiend? Didn't think so, Necros are the "evil" profession even when saving everyone from Shiro. Yes, so Gai does seem rather biased, but Togo's comment is perfectly fair if you look at the armor Necros wear even. Obsidian male armor = pleasant guy?'

Necromancer is not a bad. Just does some bad things that make Ritualist unhappy yet in the end, still Love Necromancer

Maybe if we had never gotten a ninth class, then I could see the Necro being the closest class to a Rit. . . but we did. We got a class that wears a blindfold to strengthen their connection to the mists and draws their power from legendary spirits. If that promo image is what you're basing your argument on, I don't find it compelling since it's the only example of its kind and doesn't represent any of the actual Ritualist skills in-game. The nearest thread you could tie would be the eerie faces of the offensive spirits, in which case that image isn't actually the same thing a Necro would be associated with.

 

Plus, I don't really understand what you mean by "returned" since if your main profession was a Necromancer, you never had access to that armor.

It is not about Necromancer having access to Ritualist armor; i had never mentioned that. Since Ritualist is not a profession in the game; her Love Necromancer is.

 

Using her armor without her consent including Necromancer is Disrespectful, Disgraceful and

Insultive.

 

**As Necromancers; Ritualist Love, we deserve the right to declare Ritualist armor to be fully removed and to be immediately returned to us-our Love-Ritualist**

 

'Can't keep what's not yours, can't hold on to something that does not want to stay'

 

Ritualist is where it stays and belongs

Necromancers are not ritualists.

 

Necromancers deal with life force, blood, death and curses. Ritualists commune and channel spirits from the mists and the memories of those long gone, and spawn spirits and spirit weapons. If anything, the ones that could be ritualists are the Revenants or Guardians.

In one phrase- Ritualist armor belong exclusively to the Ritualist and must be immediately removed and returned

Revenants or Guardians can't because of Grenth, Reapers and Minions

 

**Grenth is the god of darkness, ice, and death**

 

'Grenth is the God of Death and Ice. He is the patron god of Assassins, Water Elementalists, Necromancers, and Ritualists, and is linked to the Season of the Colossus in the Elonian calendar'

 

continue....

 

**'Lord of Death'**

 

'Grenth and seven mortals challenged Dhuum, the God of Death, whose reign in the Underworld had been brutal as Dhuum consumed the souls of the dead, prevented resurrection and undeath, and hunted down those who had escaped death with the promise of "death undeniable". The company ultimately defeated Dhuum in the ossuary of the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance in Orr. Grenth shattered Dhuum's tower in the Underworld, creating the Chaos Planes.[3]'

 

'Dhuum's power was transferred to Grenth, and the new God of Death took his place among the gods in the presence of his mother Dwayna in the spot where his father had fallen. Grenth sealed his fallen predecessor within the Hall of Judgment behind enchanted doors and layers of divine magic as he was not powerful enough to destroy Dhuum. The true reason for the sealing would remain elusive to scholars, however.[4][5] The mortals who aided Grenth were rewarded by being elevated into the god's immortal avatars. They became known as the Seven Reapers and would supervise regions of the Underworld.[6] Under Grenth, human spirits were judged and moved on through the Underworld to their designated afterlives. At some point Grenth also appointed the Judge to guide and judge lost spirits in the Domain of the Lost'

 

**'Conflicts in the Mists'**

 

'In the late eleventh century AE, Dhuum's minions waged a war in the Underworld against Grenth's forces and aided the servants of Abaddon in trying to bring about Nightfall. This culminated when Dhuum woke from his slumber, though the Seven Reapers were able to place him back into dormancy with the aid of mortal adventurers'

 

'When Abaddon began Nightfall in order to break free from his prison, the gods chose not to intervene on Tyria directly. However, the Five gave a blessing and words of encouragement to Spearmarshal Kormir's party via their avatars as the mortal heroes entered the Realm of Torment to defeat Abaddon once and for all.'
