I'd love for a chemist to have AF gear that's a cool fantastical and tactical lab coat and a syringe gun-arm, but all the other gear for the role would join the ranks of people going "oh, another white robe" when every new raid and dungeon set is revealed.

    I mean, at this point every other role got at least one job that defies their overall aesthetics; GNB the "light armor" tank, RDM the caster that wears no dresses, and DNC the ranged that doesn't want to be a cowboy. Healers are now the only role where all 3 jobs share the same aesthetic - which I personally always found odd, since the only healer who should be themed around white/holy is WHM, while AST looks best in black and SCH in green/blue, but that's just me.

    Bottom line, whoever designs gear needs to get out of their comfort zone more often, specially if chemist does become the next healer
