Flames for all Bonewicca Sets

[Sigma-Astra]

I doubt anyone is saying the original designer is at fault for the lack of effects on the non caster set.

What people are saying is that the lack of effects were a poor design choice for the developers and I agree, having effects only on one set looks like the devs just gave up or stopped caring.

They didn't give up or stop caring, they kept (mostly) to the original art of the design for the caster set that won the caster design contest and no where does it say that ALL sets need to be made equal or look perfectly similar to the specific set that was made and whom won the contest. This wasn't the healer contest, you had your chances already for cool effects. So, logically, wait until the next contest for healers comes around and make something you'd like then.

For someone who's a healer or non-caster job to scream "unfair" and then refuse to roll a caster, it's called "entitlement". This shouldn't even be an argument really, it's a personal nitpick that one person has. You either roll the job for the gear so you're able to wear it, or you don't and then just suck it up.

The point of these contests were to design specific gear for the jobs that were wearing it, period. If the other gear was meant to have the flames on it for healers, tanks, melees, and ranged. They would have made the gear contest for all jobs then.

I actually wish the flames on the caster set had a toggle. It looks cool when you wear the whole set, but the non-flaming ones are waaaay more versatile imo ^^;

You can remove them by wearing long gloves.

Flames, not cape/wings. I've personally had the helm bug out on the odd occasion and not show the flames until I hide/show my helm. Maybe implement a toggle via /visor?

Also side note, when was the last time we had armour with particle effects? That obnoxious set in ARR? Can't remember the name of it.

It's because the gear design contest for casters was to shine the spotlight on caster gear specifically and that was the design that won for the casters. Healers already got their spotlight with Skalla.

There's your logic.

Why are people getting angry over this...?

It’s still terrible.

Honestly, I have the healer set, and I am so glad it doesn't have flames. It looks alot better than what I thought it would as well.

I still disagree. Imagine if everyone had to the flames. It would look way more awesome. :3

No arguing about taste, but consider two things:

1) If everyone/every set had the flames it would be a lot less special. Given that the whole point was to give casters something special, that would undermine that.

2) You've already heard people saying "I dont like the flames all that much" - so they would probably disagree with everything looking way more awesome... as I said: a matter of taste.

Sorry you got the short stick here - or at least sorry that you feel you've got the short stick here.
Sometimes you get what you really like, sometimes you dont.
The gear isnt getting altered anyways...

Personally I feel that those flames make the most sense for casters anyways, from a shire "general aesthic"-perspective with casters being aggresive magic users -> magic flames on top of their heads. I cant imagine my bard or tank with something similar to be honest. It fits the caster-theme to have those flames, it doesnt really fit the other jobs. At least thats my opinion on the matter.

Not disappointed here, the sets overall are decent and the Whisperer’s top is perhaps the most novel caster piece in quite a while. Hopefully we see more bits rigged this way as I can’t say I’m not a little jealous that I can’t wear it as a healer
