World of Darkness gear? (opinions)

I can't find the source, but these are the coming World of Darkness patch next week.

My personal opinion is, from what I see...

Tank gear is the best hands down. I'm horridly disappointed by the BLM gear. Like, if it wasn't for the Cloud of Darkness, I'd be completely disinterested in the World of Darkness. Healing piece is cute, on Lala's, but it is essentially a mirror of casting dps gear.

Not sure I care for Ninja and Monk looking so much alike. Hopefully this changes a bit with later gear.

Magic users look to have a couple variations, but pretty much the same.

Tanks, Bard and Lancers look to have gotten their own look though, but I guess that's two classes that use the Tank gear, so a bit meh on that.

That BRD gear looks kinda nice. I guess we deserved it after the tragic ST gear. )

The hat was soooo swag!

While I know many players will appreciate how much less "over the top" the new CT sets are, I am once again a little disappointed by the amount of palette swaps, particularly on the DoMs who have been getting this treatment since the LotA without fail.

Otherwise, the overall looks and aesthetics will once again come down to personal taste, but those hats for mages and BRDs... *raises pinky*

However, I need to interject here:

I am not so sure tanks and lancers/drg have "their own look." There are differences to be sure, but I'm still seeing similarities. Check out the shoulders, some body accents, and a bit of the feet armor.

Tank's gear looks to be heavily similar to CT1 gear, the Warrior of Light Armor (Aside from the helmet).
MNK/NIN look like mirrors/recolors, not really all that impressed.
DRG looks fine to me... aside from the weird looking circlet's horns.
BRD looks really good, aside from the shoulder piece jutting out on the closer shoulder.
Caster/Healer seems to be another mirror/recolor, but at least it looks better than CT2's caster/healer gear *shudder*

two great big /thumbsup from me. I plan on collecting every set i have a class for.

inventory, y you so full already?! ^_^

They probably took a likening to the World of Darkness... reason why the Tank item looks dark. Maybe drawing inspiration from the Warriors of Darkness.

It looks unpolished. But I get that is suppose to be the theme of the outfits, like warn torn and ancient. It's not my thing but the caster hats are cute and I think I can make those bard boots work.

Monk and tank gear look amazing. The rest aren't that great looking. But I've learned to expect this over the patches. CT gear just isn't really all that interesting. Couple sets are nice the rest look like they didn't put much effort in them.. Hope the lack in creativity with gear is due to them putting a boat load of nice gear in the expansion.
