Im so sick of Healer gear looking bad

[pclarkson85]

Ive always mained Healer and WHM in 11 and 14; I've gotten to the point where I just want to stop because the gear look is so bad, worst Ive ever seen in any game.

there's always glamour sure but I like working towards a set then being able to show it off, this is so bad I never want to show it off

Worst thing for me is that healer gear is often a recolor of the caster gear with some details removed - or the headpiece entirely swapped out for a more ugly one. Think the Cryptlurker set was the only time it was the other way around and healers actually got the nicer headpiece.

Yafaemi set is dope af. The top and pants as well as boots are absolutely amazing. I'm wearing an amalgamation of the Aglaia hands/arms dyed white, the Classical crafted set (I forget the name of it) dyed black, the Yafaemi pants and Yafaemi boots with a pair of glasses.

My problem with the healer and caster gear is that it’s obviously designed around WHM and BLM (ranged gear also tends to favour BRD more often than the other 2 but nowhere near as bad as healer/caster)

Like SCH is a field medic and SGE is a futuristic doctor, why are they wearing long white robes with red accents. That’s basically just WHM’s AF aesthetic, SCH favours yellow and green while SGE favours blue, yet everything we get is white and red, we aren’t all WHM

casters are the same RDM would actively want to avoid robes and SMN/PCT don’t have a single gear piece that’s not their own AF gear that feels like it was designed for them (except maybe high allagan for SMN)

"You mean you don't love gowns? we never knew that" Yoshida some years in the future, just like he did for hilderbrand, deep dungeons and wide areas.

theres so many healer pieces id love to wear as tank ngl

Casters and healers gear in general is thr worst in my opinion

Nothing beats tank gears

This is why we need to be able to Glamour other job sets, the current system is too restrictive.

While yes it might not look great to have a tank run around in a caster set, lets not pretend you can't already make tank glams that look really out of place, same argument can be made for any other job.

I really wish people were even more vocal about this, because I'd love to be able to use some maiming/striking sets on my tank glams or Healer glams, one example is panthean striking gear I'd love to use that as a sage set, with the gold dyed silver, but can't because the system is too restrictive.

This fixes a lot of things people who don't want strictly robes or healer gear on healers can glamour into more combat ready sets, while healers who want a traditional set can wear the standard robes, even with the benefit of being able to glamour caster sets for different dyes and such.

I see this have No downsides, considering what we can already do with glam sets that breaks "immersion" so I see no point in current restrictions.

I guess we can make exception to AF gear, as that's job related but anything else should be allowed.

Funnily enough that also makes the "BLM in plate gear" argument for glamour restrictions fall apart, if a BLM in plate gear is immersion breaking then what about a RDM in long robes or a Viper that looks like a Ninja?

Job identity and aesthetics are so muddled nowadays that they should stop trying to stick to what they think should be the job's aesthetic and focus on making gear that just plain looks good. Give healers something sleek and form-fitting that fits a doctor aesthetic, or maybe something that looks sophisticated and scholarly that *isn't* anther long-robe with too much excess cloth.

Hell, might as well run with the doctor idea and give healers some sort of lab coat/researcher looking set. The insistence on trying to make sure healers only look a certain way is seriously stifling what could be great glam items that people would absolutely love to wear.

That argument is well and truly dead and keeps disintegrating more every time they drop a new PvP season set, which of course is going to be unrestricted full plate again.
