Why would they do that? WHM isn't hard. I'm only lvl 35 though so maby the hardness comes later?

I think it could something lost in translation. They're likely referring to the unintuitive and by and large useless nature of the lily mechanic, since the job is getting a mechanic overhaul in 5.0.

A is cool except for the man boobs..lol They look like bound female breasts. I prefer B. The ears are cuter and more delicate looking then A's. There should be slightly more definition in the stomach area though. I love A's wild looking hair and defined chest. the upper chest looks a little weird. I'm used to seeing shirtless wrestlers. For example the Ultimate One:

Hello! Just wanted to post something here.
Hhhmmm kinda dissapointed to see "no male viera / female hrothgar" announced. I hope SE will add them at some point in the next expansion (not release date because they have a looot of work polishing the current versions but .. in a future patch maybe). So, reading some post of this thread I came up with two "versions". Personally I like the first one (A), but I don't dislike the other one either. Someone posted the "Male Omega image" and , yep I can imagine them being like that. I'm temped to do another one of the female hrothgar too. Sooo... yep, I would like to see them in-game but, no rush.

Oh, here's a better resolution picture if you want: https://twitter.com/RedSinistra/stat...64814083371010

I feel like there's too much dimorphism for A. We don't need another Au Ra race. I'd dig A if it was the same height as B, though.

I'd rather not see Viera men become a lazy copy and paste of Miqo'te. If the only real difference were to be the ears, they might as well not be added at all so that the development time and precious resources can instead be spent adding to the customisation options of the existing playable races.

I'm not a fan of a, especially if that's the height difference. We already have au ra for that drastic Male towering over female trope. And he honestly looks like a cross between a Male au ra and a highlander. TL;DR that design while neat on it's own, when paired with what we have, is boring as h*ck.
B would be spot on perfect for me if he was just a smidge shorter than the female. He looks similar to the female in terms of body and personality aesthetics and doesn't reduce the race down to caricatures of masculinity and femininity, while still being obviously masculine. But in terms of height that would be the depiction of the tallest Male vs the shortest female in my preference. I just hope the males would be on average like a head shorter than the females because it's so much more different than every other race we have at the moment and where better to mix it up than with the matriarchal race of rabbit people, since female rabbits are larger than males?

[Theodric]

I don't particularly care if the height of the men happens to be taller than the height of the women. I also don't care if they happen to be the same height. That could be a decent compromise.

There's very little depicting the Viera as 'matriarchal' given that the genders live in complete separation outside of occasionally meeting up to breed. That the men are fending for themselves in complete isolation is more of an argument for them to be fairly rugged, if anything.

Here we go again

In my eyes the females run the entirety of society therefore they are matriarchal. Ment arent even allowed the smallest bit of participation let alone the ability to rule.

And I just fundamentally disagree with "they survive on their own therefore they need to be grizzled and burly" idea. You dont need a mean looking aesthetic to survive in the wild. Hamsters are hella cute but live alone and will wreck you if you decide to mess with them. They dont need an 8 pack to do that and the only chest hair they have is the fluffy puffy fur that's super soft and cuddly (if it wasnt complemented with teeth that will absolutely rend the flesh from your bones).

They're just matriarchal in the sense that the women run the villages. Beyond that, it has no further implications as to their biology. These aren't drow elves.
