Chestwing makes me question your aesthetic judgement.

you seriously switched your main over from WHM to PLD for skin reasons? you know what glamour is... right?

and what exactly is so ugly about the eso WHM skin anyway? a friend recently gave me this screen and i dont see anything ugly in it

the only really ugly item of the set is the head...thing (i mean seriously...) but you can just hide or glamor that

fun fact: while i have the set it is glamoured since i simply prefer another skin

The main gripe I have with the whm set (besides the head piece) is the under shirt. On females it looks like a short dress under a robe, a little stiff but otherwise fine.
On men it looks like a piece if cardboard, and its just ... ugly.
the exception to this is lalafells. they're so short that it just doesn't matter. This set was clearly designed to ONLY be worn by lalafells.

If the cardboard/mini-dress/shirt thing was detached or just wasn't there for guys it'd be alright. edit: or even if it were longer on Elezens, Au Ra and Roes

As others have mentioned, the only thing that I can't stand when it comes to the Orison set is the headpiece. It likely has that ridiculous skullcap to stop people from moaning about hair clipping again. Easier to hide the hair than making it look nice with most hairstyles, I suppose. :p

I wasn't a fan of the WHM gear either, so I put together a new glamoured set. Turned out not bad actually!

To be honest I'm finding the BLM i200 gear to be butt ugly too, I mean that hat is gross. I've resorted to just start glamouring everything so when I finally get all my i200 stuff I'll end up glamouring over that too.

I'd have to agree that I don't like much any of it. It's almost all long robes with ultimately not too much separating how they look, the head pieces are mostly unattractive and, for the higher tier things, you can't dye most of it so everyone looks the same. I've resorted to completely glamouring everything and that's unfortunately not going to change with the Orison, Gordian or PvP things either.

It's one of my favorites so far! I love the silhouette.

It's supposed to look like a wolf, IIRC, not a squirrel ^_~ But it's PvP gear =)

Daystar robe has so far (don't have a level 60 healer yet) been the only one that made me ask my FC mates, "does this robe make me look fat?".....because it kinda did. ;_; And that was back when I was male miqo'te and male elezen...

For me it was mostly the chest plate thing. It just... gave too much bulkiness for my taste ^^;

As Astro we are stuck with an extremely thick, dark and long dress. And we don't even have a little low-cut neckline.
Seriously... we look pathetic riding a mount.
And we can't use light clothing glamour since the astro weapon got a long sheath on the hip.

i love the WHM Esoteric, it look like FFT white mage
and i absolutely hate AST Esoteric, and the Law gear is also absolutely hideous
