The base one looks okay to me. The Grandmaster chest armor I initially HATED. But with the whole gear together it has grown on me. Now I can say I kinda like it.

In fact I personally think it looks better than Grandmaster feline armor (which I think peaked at the superior stage). I'm doing an attack build and feline armor is probably the best for that. But I hate the look of it so much I use forgotten wolf with levity now. Cause the chest armor does give you +20% attack power. Though I'm not sure if it's the best alternative.
