Why healer armors are all ugly?

[Shougun]

I think it could be quite helpful to show some example armors you think would feel healer-y and yet also not too robe like, might give them an idea for upcoming armor then .

Maybe anything like one of these? :

(I know basically all of them still have cape components but they stray away from the tent robe looks at least lol)

Personally I think some overtly over the top light or dark robes could be really fun (yes I know they're robes still ):




With a extra personal note that anything with really any particle effects or that have that extra dollop of fantasy/over the top-ness should probably be saved away for relic armor and stuff (like the next Eureka set and such). I like wild fantasy armors but it'd be nice to not saturate the screen space with every single person wearing a halo, having giant wings, and emitting over 9000 particles. So I'm for it, for those wild armors, but like.. with discretion and pacing between them lol.

Would be interesting to see what people want. Or run another armor contest, those are always fun- though a bit sad when you see excellent armors that didn't get put into the game lol. Good work to those who enter. I could perhaps add some stick figure art next time, real serious stuff over 1 point of defense surely! XD.

OK, those are pure perfection and would look amaaazing on both f and m healers *_____*

It's more down to personal choice.We had many people complaining that there was no armor glamors for mages.Now we have people are complaning that the new gear looks like armor XD.

Ok, WHERE can u get the healer armor? I'll take 10! But if it's savage gear then gg

Lots of sets have actual pants. Not the relic gear, but look through the market board for healer gear and you'll see that the majority of leg wear is pants - and a number of them actually turn into shorts on a female character (eg. Astral Silk and Arachne/Pagos).

I don't see anything wrong with wearing old gear either - that's the whole point of the glamour system. Find what you like, and stick with it.

(I update my mage gear a lot, but I'm still wearing Lv50 gear on half my melee classes. Some of it just works and looks good, and I keep coming back to it.)

It not about the pants, it's about the top just completely covering the pants

It would be nice for once to NOT to have to glamour caster (af) gear instantly and show it off a little for a change...oh well, can't please everyone, glamour plates are truly a blessing

Deepshadow gear is the particular one being discussed (where the mage gear is still knee-length robes but with scale mail incorporated into it), but there are a few other items - mostly just arm/leg gear though. High Allagan sollerets; Daystar sollerets; Lost Allagan and Bonewicca pieces.

You can also get the ex-seasonal-gear Legacy Warrior set from Mog Station which gives you an all-classes body armour piece.

I've posted it before, but this is an armoured WHM design I made with the Legacy cuirass and Daystar sollerets. There's also a less gaudy Lv60 version of the sollerets that you can purchase in Azys Lla.

Fair enough, though pants are usually the most boring part of an outfit, to me anyway.

Combining AF pieces with a different shirt can be a good way around it if you want to show off the other pieces and can find something that works together.
