Whoa... is that... buttcapes and circlets..? Casters in ROBES??? Holy moly... the devs really went all out on these new raids sets... Never seen anything like this before.

Looks like a blend of the Aglaia and Euphrosyne sets. It should mix & match fairly well with both.

This is 100% accurate and what I personally find extra annoying about this pattern is that at the very least there are some aesthetic differences between fending and maiming, and striking, scouting and aiming....but casting and healing? literally copy-paste and call it a day, not even "add more frills on the healer" or "give the BLM a bigger hat" - that's how little they matter.

8.0 will have another new melee or tank because god forbid they ever make meteor a healer for an expac.
I was hoping the 7.0 stuff would show whm meteor. Like I really expected them to give meteor a HEALING easy break after saving the whole breadth of existence in endwalker but no...melee-teor again.

At the very least at least let him be a caster or a phys ranged

I know somewhere along the way they said that “casters weren’t dynamic enough” but it would be really nice to have us ranged mains represented with meteor as well rather than just 3 tanks out of 4 and 3 melee out of 5 (1.0 ARC doesn’t count)

Healers can't be the main character, sorry. Heroes don't hide on the back row.

An anime tried it once. Never again, please.

This is gloriously accurate, and sad at the same time.
