Why healer armors are all ugly?

[SturmChurro]

I wouldn't just say its healer armors, most armors in this game are hideous, rather full sets are. It's best to mix and match and create something of your own. However, objectively they are going for a theme with healer gear - which is the traditional, robed priest-like so I see where they are going for. I wish they would have cooler looking stuff most definitely, but the worst problem is.... WHM staffs look like trash and they FOR SURE need cooler ones. There are only a few cool ones, and I have to go back and to artifact grind to get them.

I have a feeling they tend to be too humble in design. If they really want more healers in game to support DPS (faster queue), best to create more good looking design that will attract players.

In reality, all MMO end game is the dress up game. What else you do when you get to end game and... why bother getting loots aside just bumping stats but most dungeons are level sync anyways. You can wear poop gears still get carried through.

Unless you're the 16% hardcore savage runners.
