Will we ever get capes?

All this would do is make sprint useless and in need of removing from the game. :/

Casters and healers are more positional required and it's harder for them to escape cone effects and other things, it's fine how it is.

Sprint shouldn't cost any resources at all, the long CD is enough.

I don't think that's a cape on the back of the PLD Eso Body. It's like a tail coat which was added onto tank gear starting with 2.2.

The clipping it would cause would just be a pebble on a mountain of other issues, there's no reason Herklaedi shouldn't have a cape.

I completely agree, it's just that for tanks in particular (I normally pay PLD) TP starvation is already an issue, so we cannot possibly afford to hit Sprint for anything.

Either that or remove the TP cost. As it stands, one group of players who should be physically fitter (DoW) are crippled if they sprint, but casters can keep on trucking. If it doesn't cost casters anything, why should it criple DoW players, especially tanks like PLD who already have well known TP issues.

This added to the fact that melee and tanks would tend to benefit more from the increased movement speed than healers and casters do.

I like being able to see the belts in 1.0 clipping never bothered me they should of just got rid of the belt piece completely after removing it appearance.

you are not cool enough for capes, only garlean generals deserve them.

Have you ever been auto-attacked by a healer?

It does, like 20 damage.

Now throw in some sleeve slapping...

MNKs better watch out, new top melee DPS right hur.

They actually have one armor with a Cape on it for Healers.
It has no real cape physics as portion of the cape is glued to your arse as you move and acts more like the bottom of a robe.
If you happen to be Au Ra or Miqo'te your tail clips through the cape as well.

Its not a tail hole either it just kinda clips through it. If you happen to move or the cape moves to the side, portions of your tail will be clipping through it sideways.
