What CoT costume parts would YOU want?

Everything but the hats.
But without the hats, how can I make my Oranbegan Knight costume? In case you haven't noticed, the Spectral Knights (who can be assumed to be the dead soldier caste of Oranbega) use the tall hats!

This is pretty much how I feel about it. But, since the proverbial cat and whatnot, I would prefer that SOME pieces remain only availble to NPCs so that they retain a semblance of uniqueness. In this case, for me, it's the hat and the belt... but the hat moreso since it is one of the things that existed even before the re-vamp as a hallmark of the CoT... the belt is more a NEW hallmark of the CoT.

I'd rather just get pieces that are similar to those things (like the hats... definitely tall hats), but more generic/versatile.

I am presuming that its a belt, but those long side sashes(like the higher level death mages), they are amazing and id grab them in a heart beat.

I do know which of the pieces I will buy, however - all of them. If this comes out in a pack (and it will) I'll simply snag the pack itself. |
I *think* I like the Shoulder, Belt and Glove options, but the overall look of the new CoT is just so busy. It's hard to really take it all in and say for sure what's good and what's just needlessly gaudy.

I want the Death Mage skirt the most, followed by the gauntlets, and then the shoulders (Archer and mage).
Sadly, the part I want the most is also the part I am pretty sure we will not get. I would LOVE to be wrong though.

I'd like to see them all, since I want to make, among other things, a character who actually is a coral reef on legs. That goofy-looking hat also taunts me with its popishness. However, I doubt we'll see the hat, and I'm 95% certain we won't see the open-to-the-waist rig used on some bosses, the tailcoat rig, or the high collar. The minions (Archers and whatnot) are what we'll get.
Incidentally, having seen it in-game, I like the new look better than I did, though I still prefer the original, robed minions.

But even most of the minions get the tails. It would suck if all we get is just what the lowest of the low minions get. I'm really hoping they'll impress us with this one, and not skimp with the bare minimum.

Also, I hope the tall hats NEVER become available. To me, those are just too signature to be given to everyone.
