New armor - 3.5 patch

So with the new armor sets on display in the notes, what are everyone's thoughts on this round of gear?

Does wearing a gas mask and looking like a desert scrap collector strike your fancy?

Do you find the dun scaithe gear cool or is it just a pile of spikey fabrics trying to be edgy?

Are you as jealous as I am that DRGs new PVP gear makes them look like a power ranger? (Seriously it's unfair) Do you find parts of the PVP healer gear absolutely adorable and can't wait to snatch those pieces for glamouring?

As for me, The PvP gear intreagues me the most. With dun scaithe in second. I'm not fond of the desert... But maybe some of the individual pieces might be cute.

I just want to find out if the 260 Dun Scaith tank legs have parry.

Out of new dungeon, I like the outfits Miqo'te and Au Ra girls have on.

With Garo PvP sets, I like most of the non-armored ones - especially going for MCH/BRD set.

I don't like any of the Dun Scaith -outfits. :p

Hard to see the details on the Garo caster set because its a popoto model. Dun Scaith caster skirt (or is that a SCH?) looks alright. Hopefully it and the invisible belt have speed and no accuracy.

With all of the sets, there are some individual pieces that I like, but the sets as a whole are not to my taste. I will enjoy mixing them up with some older gear to see what kind of look I can create.

For me i just hope SE make something for those horrible levitating shields on the Aora women, it's just stupid to have a shield under the control of the Force that's ruining all glamour has paladin .

can anyone help? they went for this military-ish/nuclear fallout gasmask look and i can't determine which job is which by looking at the sets alone or atleast i can just assume the casters/healers are the ones in the long coats but the rest of the jobs.....

I actually really like the post apocalyptic wasteland aesthetic. Whether I will care enough to run the new dungeon ad nauseam to acquire it is another story.

I really enjoy all the pieces, if only to add some flavour to spice up some older and perhaps less used glamour pieces. That's the great thing about far out pieces like these in my opinion!

The lalafell is probably the tank. The other blue coat guy with a helmet is probably DRG. Mouth mask is probably NIN. Beret is probably MNK. Goggle girl is probably MCH/BRD. I could maybe have MNK and BRD backwards, since the beret is the fanciest hat and BRD usually gets the fanciest hat.

thank you! atleast that gave me an idea... at first glance the group looks like some para-militia people and in my opinion they sorta not fit in with the game's theme just yet (we're not in garlean regions yet right?) but they do look nice

Considering in 4.0 we are going into some desert areas. I dig it.

Guessing healer left, then MNK, then NIN, then BRD/MCH, then DRG, then caster, with tank in the front (lalafell)

It'll probably be crit sks/crit det/crit parry since the tank legs from VA and WC have had some crit on them.

I don't really care much for any of it, especially the gas mask gear. I'll admit though I want that Dun Scaith outfit the Miqo'te is wearing.

I don't care for any of it. The Dun Scaith gear is more of the same ripped up clothing we've gotten the entire 24-man series. The PvP stuff is mildly intriguing, but eww PvP. The dungeon gear is different from almost anything we've had before. Ugly, but different at least. Points for that, I guess.

So in short, this patch holds almost nothing of interest for me so far in the gear department.

The Garo healer set interests me, but I'm holding back my hype until I see just how different the male version is. Historically sets that look that cute on female characters have had alterations to the male versions that make them look much less nice in my opinion, so there's a good chance I'll be disappointed when I get to try it on my own character.

The dungeon gear, assuming the white/light gray coat on the far left is the healer gear, I'm not crazy about it but I'm sure I'll find some use for it in glamour eventually. The Dun Scaith stuff...Much like most of the 24-man gear we've had, I don't hate it, but I'd like it much, much more if it were dyable, that color scheme just isn't for me.

This gear is great.

Wearing a gas mask is cyber goth. It'll go great with some gear dyed in neon colors.

Dun Scaith is Birthday Massacre.

I don't much care for any of the new Dungeon Gear.

The Garo PvP Gear is pretty cool.

I really like the Dun Scaith stuff, but I'm more interested in the stats to be perfectly honest. Given how a lot of the 260 and 270 stuff had pretty unfavorable stats, I'm hoping the 260 Dun Scaith stuff will be able to fill in some blanks where I'm still using 250 stuff.

It's so Birthday Massacre:)

The gasmask would be better, if it didn't come with that yellow coat and pointy hood...

But I do wonder what class the dungeon set on the male miqo'te belongs to, I think it might be a decent ninja set.
