Dissapointed With The Live Letter

[Lunavi]

i glamour things all the time, so this resentment (for lack of a less dramatic word) of being "forced" to glamour seems totally upside down to me. I have set outfits and the appearance of "this tier" doesn't even matter, unless it's nice enough that I want to use it.

And considering how much some people complain about "nothing but robes" for mages... mail is an interesting change, and it doesn't stray that far from normal robes either. I think it looks better in the healer colour scheme, but still.

When we have freedom to glamour any past outfits onto our current equipment, I think it's more important to work in some different and unusual designs to give people more choice. Not every tier, but some of the time.

I too glam most of the time, however, when the gear we are "supposed" to wear breaks class fantasy to such an extreme as a caster wearing mail, I start to question things. It really seems more like something that should be a glam for those who want it rather than something to glam upon.

The gear designers can't win then. Other people complain bitterly about how we never get anything but "class fantasy" robes (somehow overlooking the tunics, swimwear, and occasional weird strappy things). Healers have the semi-armoured Daystar set.

Singling out this still-robe-like armour seems strange. And nobody is going to care what you're wearing underneath your glamour.

The problem is that tome gear is the "default" gear. I would be 100% happy if this was a glam item that was crafted or obtained through other means. Since the dawn of time, casters have never exactly been known to wear mail, which is where my main concern rests. It doesn't feel like caster gear, but more like melee DPS gear. I know that some people have asked for this, but to make it the main gear of the patch is a questionable choice in my opinion. When I think about it further though, maybe the gear could make sense for a Red Mage?
