I just recently got my GLA (my first DoM/DoW class) up to 35 and I'd really have to say...
I wish we could hide helmet with heavy armors. We are kinda-sorta forced to wear heavy armor (because there's no viable non-heavy variants at that level that have equivalent stats) and... It might just be personal opinion, but I don't really like how the armor looks on my character, especially how the helmet is.
I usually have helmets hidden because I don't like how most of them look, I want to actually see the facial expressions of my character, her hair, etc. But this armor is kinda meh.
They really should have made two versions of the heavy armor -- one with the helmet, and without (aesthetic-wise, not in-game stats-wise). Wasn't it the Japanese that invented the "huge armor with the giant neck but no helmet" anime style in the first place?
Or they could at least give us non-heavy armor with equivalent stats or something, but none exists that I could see. That goes right up there with Gladiators/Paladins being forced to use daggers; it just irks me sometimes.
