Yeah - I actually used that during
my first Miqo'te, before expansion release. But I main'd Paladin back then and it clipped with shield a lot, and
ended up changing hairstyle.
I've been impatiently waiting since Patch 3.1 that Square would
share this hairstyle from Au Ra to Miqo'te, as it doesn't really seem to have any flaws, but with every patch.. I'm just disappointed when I scroll to "New hairstyles have been added.", and most or all are short ones.
I took comparison screenshots of the two long hairstyles,
SS1 and
SS2. As you can see in SS1, hair is closer to back and thus avoids most of the clipping with weapons and shields, tho in return it clips with some collars. While in SS2, hair is further away from back and causes more clipping with weapons and shields, but in return avoids most of the clipping with collars. Both of them suffer from clipping with hoods.
