WHM weapon and armor Designs

I have a urgent question for the weapon design team.

Why are you so committed to do ugly weapons for WHM?

Why the weapons there are something maybe not ugly are turned 90° and not facing forward?

Just for reference, look eden savage blm stick and whm stick....
How many chickens were killed to make whm staff?!

Why so much skirts?! WHY?! There are some body armor that if you remove the skirt and leave the top would be awesome. But no. You out skirt on everything. I would not be surprised if in the future you put skirts under skirts, weapons with wings and skirts, gloves with wings and skirts.

Please. Move forward on feathers, wings and skirts.

Thanks.

Because for some reason, they can't get beyond whatever stereotype player they have in mind for whm. It's an incredibly narrow view and the reason I wear an ARR glamour. No, all whms aren't female potatoes and cats.... yes, there are more style options for whms than your angelic female fantasies....especially after an entire expansion where that aesthetic was the enemy. I am not sure why they think male whms want to look like sin eating drag queens.

Yep, almost all of the healer gear looks like they have hoop-skirts from the 16th century underneath. It's not very appealing.

Agreed, I hate all the white dresses with nun-like hoods. I'm thankful for some dungeon sets like the healing set from the Qitana Ravel.

i like whm aesthetic so hope they keep it

I felt like the only one that hated white mage weapons. I don't even understand how you design staves that bad, they're the easiest weapon to make look cool.

As far as the artifact armor styles, I would assume to keep those as they have been; since they represent the tradition of that role from the beginning. That said, any set besides artifact I could agree with being any style to allow for more glamour and personalization choices. Also if they had the drive, make alternative styles of the artifact itself; so have the main pieces adhere to the usual namesake look, but allow alteration through an NPC - almost like the dye unlock for the first sets.

Well we did find our tome gear that is in massive need of glam hello Phantasmorgia Tome gear.(When the WHM arti gear looks better than both sets of healing tome gear there is an issue)*sigh* Looks like I'm gonna be having to do dun scaith grinding *whimpers*

White mage skirt looks so cool and clean.

Its only your opinion if you dont like it, doesnt mean its objectively bad, it is fine.

I only wear AF's for the healers.
WHM - 1st AF way back 6 years ago.
SCH - Same as above.
AST - Switch Between AF's.

They really need to look at other games and get ideas for both weapons and gear.

That's more of a problem with the physics engine and probably done to minimize clipping.
I don't like it either because it looks unnatural. Like some wire is holding it in place.

As for the WHM class armor: I love it. And yes: I do wear a skirt under a skirt *chuckle*

I thought so too, but they manage to make the caster sets look different and better. Like look at the Ironworks casting vs healing. no reason healing couldn't have something similar.

Tome cane is mediocre
Raid cane is ugly

Also, stop with the Piety substat on White Mage weapons.

i actually got excited for the savage weapon for whm after seeing the blm staff.

Oh, the disappointment...

I'm sorry, but yeah it is kinda bad. Male Ronso in edengrace robe of healing looks like my dude is wearing a mumu
