What I don't want: wide variance in the appearance of a piece of equipment between genders.

What I'm okay with: way less flowy, capey, skirty stuff.

I wear the Sentinel set on my paladin for this very reason... it covers me from head to toes in functional mythril armor, and doesn't have extraneous bits to get sucked into jet engines or revolving doors.

NO CAPES!
