Healer and caster gear concern going forward

[Crushnight]

I am writing this to express my concern for how healer and caster gear are becoming carbon copies of each other, i should not be able to be mistaken for a caster if i dye my gear black at least for raid and tomestone gear. i find this to be lazy especially since back in 2.2 both the soldiery gear and high allagen gear looked unique to each role and in 2.4 as well so why change this for HW. I find this more of a concern now due to be able to dye this gear particularly the raiding gear which after working very hard to get i shouldn't be mistaken for a caster should i prefer a darker colour palette.

The answer to everything. Ps3 limitations, server limitations, staff limitations, funding limitations, creativity limitations.

nah not server staff funding and creativity limitations at all...


just PS3 limitations...

1) Why care if someone mistakes you for a caster?
2) Caster/healer not sharing gear appearances is the exception rather than the norm. SCoB was the only raid out of all 8/24-mans where healers didn't share a look with casters. Poetics and Soldiery sets were different, but not Philosophy, Law, and now Lore.
3) Even if they become dyeable, caster and healer versions will have different undyeable accent colors what healers wanting to look more like black mages will no doubt complain about.

It sucks that clothies tend to share looks but at least keep your assumptions straight.

I take more of an issue with DRG being treated as the special snowflake, gear-set wise, with the primal sets. They get the only unique set, where everyone else shares it.

Though I, too, was hoping for different primals for the different roles.

yeah why do drgs need cool looking gear if they spend alot of the time occupying the floor?

Soldiery, yes, High Allagan, no. The High Allagan Aiming and Casting coats were palette swaps, and the Fending Coat and Healing coat were built off the same model.

Man when 4.0 hits and ps3 is dropped I can't wait to see all the content they've been holding back. It's gonna be sick. Larger inventories, no instanced cities, no load screens, hundreds of gear with different looks, glamour wardrobe, man it's gonna be insane

They have more time to admire their cool looking gear when they don't need to focus on fight.

PS4 limitations, please understand.
