Why do they even design helmets anymore? :V

6 out of 8 races, including the most popular options, can wear helmets just fine, I get it sucks for you, but a very overwhelming majority of players can wear all helmets and hats the game has to offer.

So as for the aesthetic basis.
- Fending and Maiming are Diabolos (original Red/Black and alt Blue/White respectively)
- Casting and Healing are Succubus (original Black/Silver and alt White/Gold respectively)
- Striking, Aiming, and Scouting are... ??? (Red/Black, Black/White, and White/Green respectively)

... so what's the basis for the latter? Most creatures with wings and feathers are Cloudkin, and what few aren't are mostly Spoken or some other non-Voidsent.
It'd be passing strange for them to be so specific in creating two to just make up a third.

Blackguards are the best guess I can come up with based on the horns and feathers, but it still feels like a stretch.

Striking/scouting/aiming might be modeled after Endymions. I don't know if they are true voidsent, but the model has been used for them.

I don't think it looks that bad for dancer? Besides the self-stabbing pauldrons anyway. It feels much more dancer-suited than the Diabolos outfit and I'm not really sure why you'd think that would be better for it.

Personally my criteria for a dancer outfit are mainly that it has long-but-open skirts that will fling around dramatically in motion, a preference for long loose pants and light shoes. They've certainly made some disappointing style divisions on that front previously (Palaka shoes, Zormor pants) but I think this top will do the dramatic twirling part nicely, although it's a bit revealing for my taste. The mage sandals would have been nice dancer shoes for my Viera though.

I don't mind the occasional flowy open skirts and cloth trails(I adore the Dancer's Casaque and Paglth'an/Riversbreath Chestpiece), but as a broe I usually prefer something more sleek and skin-tight. And as someone who very much loves Diabolos's aesthetic, I was excited at the idea of twirling all over the battlefield in his skin. This set is a massive miss for me, it's a big gown with moth wing-looking pieces thrown over the top, honestly the resemblance to the Scylla Robe from Syrcus has me wondering if it was originally designed with Caster role in mind.

so if it really is savage difficulty it mean they just are failing not gonna lie I am just tired being shafted since EW and thinking of letting my sub ran out because everything is savage raider focused nowdays

I don't really see the resemblance to Endymions. My first thought was Lamashtu, and looking at it some more it kinda resembles Siren as well.

It doesn't show the miqo'te's ears, so no lol

Are the devs even trying at this point? They're ultra lazy.

[sindriiisgaming]

Ok gamers. What are the odds of Viera and Hrothgar getting shafted with headgear again?

They should be able to wear that. Hoods don't effect viera ears

Realistically, if you can clear an Extreme trial, you can clear a Floor 1 and 2 of an average Savage tier. It usually gets more rough after that, especially in PF, but the first 2 are usually trivial enough to get done casually.

In any case, there are a lot of reasons to believe it'll be casual enough:

• It's technically possible to do it with 12 (although they may not have enough damage). That means only half the players should have to do mechanics correctly.
• The announced incentives appear randomly on different data centers and all seem to be designed as if this will be a heavily PF'd fight.
• If it's not PF'able, the BA/DRS discords will probably pick it up and just do callouts - which if you've done those raids, they call them out so well and smoothly that all you have to do is exactly what they say, and it's a clear.

All content is worth a try, but realistically a lot of people won't due to anxiety or other reasons, so that's just how it is.

I would not put honey bee lovely at ex difficulty L M A O

The drama of finding and coordinating 24 savage raiders within the same party sounds absolutely hilarious lol. Imagine the mandatory Discord voice chats lol…
They sure seem to be pushing this ‘savage 24 man’ barely anyone will do because who tf has 23 savage raiding friends just waiting around to prog content lol. I mean, what if you don’t have a static lol? Imagine progging in PF with a different set of 23 people every time.

If it’s easy enough that it can be completed in DF by non-raiders, what’s the point of labelling it savage lol? That’d just cause even more complaints from raiders screaming about normal content parading as savage+
