(Dengekionline) Preview for patch 3.2.

[Tchaktuli]

I'm just sad because I was really hoping that healers would get the Shiva set as the base classes and jobs are from all over Eorzea and so could go with the less region specific one and the blue/white ice look would also for with SE's idea that almost all healer gear needs to be white. But it is all good. I am super hyped about having the Garuda set for my Dragoon. That spear is awesome.

Edit: Phoenix for healer would be very cool too if they used it.

Very odd choices here for Primal armor. I would have went with:

Fending - Titan
Maiming - Ifrit
Striking - Shiva
Aiming - Garuda
Scouting - Levithan
Casting - Ramuh
Healing - Bismark

im extremely glad they didnt go garuda for aiming lol

SE logic is fun logic.

Have a smaller portion of the player base enter Bahamut: Make it look amazing and the gear wicked.

Have everyone enter Alexander: Make it look terrible and the gear look horrible.

So...I mean WHM is confirmed Shiva now right?...Or is that supposed to be a BLM and somewhere there is an ugly frilly coat and a huge hat coming our way? XD

The translation of the Japanese (linked in the second posts) specifies that the Shiva set is Casting, which Google Translate confirms.

Edit to add an additional thought:

Actually, the fact that it's the Hailstorm Attire of Casting all but confirms the sets are in fact role-based and not job-based, as Casting has always referred to both BLM and SMN gear so far. It's possible they could be changing that (honestly, I never really understood why the ranged DPS have shared sets and the melee DPS don't), but I wouldn't bet on it. We probably wouldn't see a change like that outside of an expansion launch.

That's the Hailstorm Attire of Casting >w>

It's rather funny how some people complained about the ever marching trend of casters = dark gear, healers = white gear, so they change it up and it's just more complaints. There's no pleasing some people.

Haha.

some people just arent happy unless they are whinging about anything and everything they can XD those kind of people i swear just wanna see the world burn :P

[Cidel]

Im dissapointed by the looks of honestly all gearsets shown sadly... Guess glamour is not going to be good this patch, hope dungeons bring something better.

The devs can't make the welfare/tome gear the best-looking sets. Crafters would rally from under the buses!

[saber_alter]

wow, the end-game gear looks really appealing this patch.

[Iromi]

I love the Shiva gear...finally we get something really nice for caster!

Can't wait to see the healer set.. am hoping for Phoenix as well lol
