Really SE? (The new healer PVP gear)

[Dererk]

If its pvp it should look worn and battered and have rips and tears in the robes and such maybe an opened long coat for healers and casters too.

Yes here's the link: http://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/001101.html

And so many hoods! Ughhh noooooo hoods are awful! I want to see my face and my hair! I'm glad these are the PvP sets so not necessary, but I just hope this isn't going to be a trend with new PvE sets.

It looks like they decided to become lazy and just mashed all 3 tanks and healers sets for all jobs.

Wow... you healers really do like to bicker a lot.

Well, with how my armoury chest is looking currently, if I ever get into PvP, I'll be very happy they're mashing together sets. AF2 is going to make the Armoury Chest a nightmare.

I think people are complaining without giving the set a proper look in game, I personally quite like the robe. ^^ There is plenty of sets to glamour in game already.

I think in certain lighting it will be nice ^^ it's certainly better than the Alexander Normal Healer gear thats for sure :X

You guys are crazy, I think all of the new sets look totally freaking awesome. How many of you actually play PvP enough to even get to wear it? A very small amount, I assume.

Rank 45 Flames here, I have most of the sets and personally don't mind if healers get robes, they look freaking fantastic. Keep in mind that we're not Clerics and we're not some hardcore rough healer. We're White Mages, Scholars, and Astrologians. All of which are very nimble and elegant, not brunt and forceful like a Cleric would be.

Speak for yourself. I'm a scholar - I'm a battle-ready field tactician who hangs out with marauders and tonberries - not a nun.

As nice as the designs are on it, and I do think they're nice... It would be nicer if there was slightly less "Robe" involved all the time. This gear is suppose to be for direct person on person conflict, would having your mages wear something protective but still-magey hurt? I want to call back to FFXIV, and an item called "Reverend Mail" and "Holy Breastplate", both equipabble by WHM ONLY, one offered huge amounts of DEF for XI, and the other Melee stats (Because yah, there was this WHM melee thing its hard to explain).


Holy


Reverend


Now, Reverend was a copy of "Haubergeon", a Melee body already in the game, but the Holy Breastplate (while probably a color swap) was unique to itself. SE Went on a limb and tried something different in XI in a moment of such daring I have to assume if it was in XIV that it was accidental.

I'm not using these as an example of what I want as I don't think just giving us a Melee breastplate is what anyone here wants... only that there is precedent for this. Even in XIV, Look at the Asuran gear, it has clearly metallic parts and pauldrons and such, something like a mix of that + Shirt (not Robe) I think would blend well but also look like a reasonable Battle-Mage armor.

If anything, PVP should be the place for this "Protective" and Battle-conscious armor for mages... its literally all about direct person-to-person conflict you'd think you'd want more than a Robe to protect you from someones Axe.

I feel they need more non-robe outfit for the magic jobs in general. I main SCH and personally think the job looks better when wearing things that arent long flowing robes (although those are fine), but there arent many options for non-robes that I, as a healer, can actually glamour. It seems too much gear that is for healers in general is based on WHM

The HW weaver quest line is like
MOTHER I WANNA LOOK GOOD WHEN I HEAL IN THE BATTLEFIELD. WEARING SOME KIND OF NUN ROBE IS LIKE i dont even.
Hence y the girl makes u craft her a chilvaric doublet of healing.
But somehow here we are in bedsheets again.

We might as well get a pillow staff lol that hits ppl for negative damage.
Seems like all their effort went into the monk weps.

I actually like the look of that set, and I typically don't like robe sets. Looks better than the AF2 set.

I was thinking of starting to pvp just to get it.
