    While you are technically correct in the lore sense, modern WHM in Eorzea has a very much saint-like nuisance to it. After white magic was misused and caused widespread disaster, it was once buried away as a forbidden power, only to be later revived by the Padjals and passed down in secret as the power used to guard over the forests. So modern WHM do indeed convey the image of protectors, holy, sacred.

    I'd like to see some more variation that perhaps involve a more adventurous image, but I don't think they're entirely off the mark with the current designs.

    Hrm, I actually like the MNK weapon, but why, oh why, do they keep giving us these outfits that look like someone grabbed a bunch of cloth scraps and stuck them together with some belts and ropes? In a serious fight half that stuff would fall off. I can't imagine it doing anything to actually protect the body either.

    I don't know, I think white mages (or rather, Padjal) in their current incarnation can still be quite scary when you think about them - we do kill a lot of stuff in our class/job quests and the protection of the Shroud over anything else has some pretty scary consequences. No one really likes Padjals, or at least that's the impression I got. There's a dark side to the role that is never reflected in our gear and it's a shame. Not a lot of balance for a class who is all about it :/

    A true monk protect his body with muscles



    I will glamour the body part with The Emperor's New Robe and ready is the Yang style (if I would have a male character) ^^

    Sooo looking forward to obtaining that summoner gear.

    The warrior set really stood out for me too. Definitely made for the climate.
