    It's most certainly not BiS for Tanks at any time, but it does look rather good...

    Also, the poster mentioned that it was BiS for an incredibly small period of time for DoW classes, and went on to talk about the Sentinel set for Tanks. I thought it was implicit from that that the DoW meant DPS classes other than tanks since tank armor was specifically mentioned separately.

    I understand what you was saying, with it being allowed to be put on by tanks, but i was kinda pointing out that none of the proper tank gear is like that, in fact most of it is "Manly" heavy plate styled Armour. In fact all of the tanking gear is very bulky and Armoured in looks.

    Lol, I consider myself a survivor of the great Darklight Trash Can debacle, not to mention the perfectly hideous Noct armor. I agree that the tanky armor is bulky and manly - which is,to be perfectly honest, a problem for me. I dont see why it's impossible to have more feminized versions of the tank gear for female characters, not allof the sets, but some of them at least. Someone will no doubt point out that real armor doesn't look feminine, but the easy and obvious counter to that point is that this is not reality, it's Final Fantasy.

    Um excuse me, the Darklight tank gear was not a trash can.

    It was Coke Zero cosplay. :I


    Though regarding Noct armor: I'm actually a fan of it, particularly because it's got a versatile helmet deal. The Mistbeard Mask was actually supposed to be the helm for it (going by the art book) so I imagine the whole thing was a tribute to the notorious pirate, making it an Eorzean lore piece. On the flip side, however, the Warrior AF helm looks GREAT with it (see it glamoured on 'em all the time). I'm still pulling for a pot of Jet Black ink from a retainer so I can glamour the set with the WAR i90 helm (the Soot Black doesn't quite work).

    That's a tangent, anyway, but it does prove a point relevant to this thread: You can play pretty-princess-dress-up even with the most hulking beefyman armor in the game.

    Lol, I always used to make that comparison, I stuck to the Hoplite top to escape the fate worse than Coke Zero. As for pretty princess dress up, Kos looks fantastic in her wedding gown, and steel bikini is a crowd favorite also. I have to admin though, I have frequently compared the constant glamouring of ourgear and redressing of our Characters with collecting virtual dolls.

    This is why everyone plays MMOs, deep down.

    Some won't admit it, but it is ultimate truth.

    My favorite MMO of all time was PSO. You couldn't customize anything on that game but your badass weapons.
