Like for a tempest I will wear friendly primary colors like light blues and reds and oranges and even purples to match the colors of my flasks, as an assassin I'll wear the darkest colors I can (all black if I can help it) and as an artificer I'll wear mostly natural browns and other more natural-leather colors because somehow that fits (and that was Varric's DA2 colors, the one who later becomes an artificer in DAI).

 

For a warrior, champion is the one wearing bright primary colors. For a good reason, tactically. Champions are all about getting attention and keeping it off of your more fragile party members, what better way than to wear an armor color that will make sure that you're practically a glowing target? Templar Inquisitor will wear light and soft colors, like light blues or greys or even white since Templars are supposed to somewhat holy in appearance. Reavers would wear intimidating colors, blood red armor or a really dark armor like an assassin Inquisitor would... Anything that makes you second guess whether you really want to take on someone as dangerous looking as I will make the reaver look.

 

Knight enchanters will, like the Templar, wear lighter colors. When I think of a knight I think of someone who is wearing a color scheme that will immediately make you think that "this person is a hero" when you see them, someone who's color choice just tells you that this is someone who will lead the charge and save everyone they can. Necromancer would wear dark colors, but not reaver/assassin dark, more like dark purples and such. Colors that don't seem scary or intimidating, but also don't seem to be the friendliest or most heroic colors either. And rift mage would likely wear greens (the same shade of green that the Fade is shown to be in DAI) and oranges, to match the colors of the right mage spells and focus ability.

 

 

Does anyone else do this, or do you just pick whatever color you feel like?

I guess I tint armour colours based on the Inquisitor themselves, not their race, class etc. The colours also need to match the armour style or it's a hopeless cause.

 

One of my Knight Enchanters uses deeper green and red shades. While another uses white leather and royal blue.

A third mage (rift I think she is) wears a lot of plaidweave and dark brown leather textures (she has questionable fashion sense).

My templar likes to be flashy to attract attention  and has green, blue and plaidweave armour. I don't use templar armour though.

One rogue wears dark cloth/leather textures with bronze/gold mail. The other rogue is an assassin and wears bright, but non-gaudy, colours, just because they look better on her then the darker shades.

"white leather and royal blue for KE"

 

Very nice. I pretty much love that, and it fits in line with my own way of tinting my KE.

 

"plaidweave and browns"

 

Sounds like how I tint Sera. She's supposed to be a walking fashion disaster, so I intentionally tint her armor to be as ugly and tacky as physically possible. It fits her a lot.

 

My templar likes to be flashy to attract attention  and has green, blue and plaidweave armour. I don't use templar armour though.

 

So basically how I do a champion.

 

One rogue wears dark cloth/leather textures with bronze/gold mail. The other rogue is an assassin and wears bright, but non-gaudy, colours, just because they look better on her then the darker shades.

 

So the assassin wears the brighter colors? Okay...

I've only tinted whatever I felt like to look cool before. I'll keep this in mind during my current Templar female playthrough.

Depends mostly on the character, but the specialization is certainly taken into account here. My only "universal" rule is that metals can only use Obsidian or Silverite for coloring, or rarely Dragon Bone. Everything else looks a bit ridiculous.

I hate how dragonbone went from dark crimson or very dark purple to... Bright orange.

It makes for a nice gold-ish piece. My current armor on my KE is a Superior Battlemage Armor set, with Dragonbone for the metal, Great Bear Hide on the Leather, and King's Willow Weave on cloth. Sexy black-and-gold.

That's... Different. I don't like combing completely different colors like that, personally.

[andy6915]

I also hate how some colors make blood look stupid. Like dragon leather (the white one) makes blood look really light colored, or how certain blue leathers make blood look purple as if you just killed an asari.

If you're wondering, I'm currently making my final armor for my playthrough. That's done, but it's tinting time now, and have been trying different tints out for an hour. Dragon leather looked good until I noticed the blood looked awful.

Black (great bear hide) goes with everything, and the dragon bone and the willow weave end up looking like the same kind of gold, visually. Very slick.

What armor? My character has the longcoat, so the leather is 90% of the armor. I don't think that combo of colors would fit that armor type.

That's what I prefer doing in most cases.

It isn't the trenchcoat, it's the one with the prominent breastplate and sash.

 

[andy6915]

That doesn't look bad. I wanted to wear that armor type, but I could only find the superior schematics for the mail and coat, not that type. The longcoat didn't look bad, so I went with it. Didn't want my best armor to be lacking in stats.

If you're not looking to stack cunning with Superior Prowler Armor, I'd say it's the best suit for mages because of the utility slot.

 

Unfortunately, it requires Short List, and even more unfortunately, Short List doesn't save you from RNG merchant inventories.

I have short list. But after going to the hissing wastes merchant a dozen times to no avail, I decided it wasn't worth it.

[andy6915]

Also, don't need cunning. My staff has a 40% critical chance... And that's not even my end game staff.

[Dieb]

Brown (bear hide) leather coat, red scarf. No fancy metal plates and minimal bulkyness.

 

I only have Tier 1 upgrades and the Tier 2 coat (the long one, but with no chestplate), because everything "better" looks silly on my rogue/adventurer-like character.

As I learned from my time in the Knight Enchanter min-max thread, I wanted to tell you that your critical damage won't exceed damage from pure attack investment.

 

Not telling you to stop using what you're using btw, It's just I have a 100% Critical Hit Chance Knight Enchanter myself and I wanted to pass a nugget of info on.

I don't care about critical damage, activating flashpoint is the reason.

I knew that, but I wanted to give you my opinion on crit-use on the off-chance you found it helpful.

My DW Assassin wore dark superior prowler armour (great bear hide, darkened samite and obsidian). She's an assassin, so she has to blend in with the shadows.

 

Then my Knight Enchanter also wore black superior battlemage coat gear with the matching pauldrons and thigh high boots. I based it more on her character than specialization, because she was a strict and imposing leader.

 

Lastly, for my Tempest Archer/DW, I had a fancy colour choice for the prowler armour he wore for a while (august ram leather, royal sea silk and infused vyrantium samite). Later, when my guy wore the rogue version of Templar armour as his endgame look, royal blue and crimson red suited him best. He was stylish on the battlefield.

[lynroy]

I just pick whatever combination I think looks good. I don't even bother to think "I wonder what colors an assassin would wear."

There is a lot of fanart showing Dorian in black and gold and I've played around with this setup a bit to see how it looks. Great bear leather, (modded) everknit for primary cloth, king's willow for secondary cloth, and dragon bone metal. Also helpful for this look is this mod that changes the color of everknit wool to almost black (before I started modding I used to use dark samite instead).

 

I normally have my gang in Inquisition colors: black/gray and red; usually with onyx as the metal, great bear for leather, dark samite for primary cloth and highever weave for secondary cloth. But tinting based on spec is interesting. I might have considered doing that for my warrior's champion spec, but the blue would make me think too much of the Grey Wardens.

[zambingo]

I Star Trek'd the dragon hunter armors. Everyone gets one. Gold metal, color shirts with black legs and black leather. Quizzy and Cass in command gold. Sera, Blackwall, Varric and Bull are redshirts. Solas, Dorian and Viv are science blue.

Did the same with the Formal Wear too. XD
