Please make the Seraphism model swap optional

Got bored and doodled some alternatives.
As you can probably tell, I have nearly no artistic talent. Hopefully the point is presented intelligibly though.

Being surrounded by Chain Stratagem screens for the duration of the buff would be an absolutely inspired design choice. I would WANT to cast the ability as often as possible.

Or someone has been daydrinking on the job since the development for ShB started, that is where the Angelfication began.

The Angelfication of Scholar began with the release of HW, when they gave it the LB3 Angel Feathers. It's still not as well incorporated as the military and fairy motifs for sure, but it's been a part of the job identity since 2015. Not really fair to call it a new change.

Just add a toggle to be able to disable it and call it a day.

This looks like someone got stuck with the SCH job design and got their revenge by crossing a nun with a chicken. The end result isn't pretty.

So much for the SCH class fantasy. Really thinking of retiring healer.



Now I'll be forced trade military gear for robes.

I hate it.

I spend a lot of time to make my character look how I like with a glam that I want. Don't force me to wear a halloween costume because I pressed an ability button.

Will probably swap back to using AST as my main healer if it stays.

I feel like if this ability sticks, along with Enshroud, it's setting a stupid precedent for all kinds of dumb costume changes. I stopped playing a shaman during Cataclysm in World of Warcraft because it turned you into one of their edgy new elemental master character models for the duration and I absolutely hated it.

I don't dislike the idea of "Upgrading" your fairy to an Angel. That's fine. I saw it as a "supercharged" form. What's stronger than a little fairy? A little angel. Fine, cool.

I don't want to wear a white gown and silly angel wings on my back though. That doesn't look like I am "powering" up. Recitation feels more powerful. Even Emergency tactics feels more powerful. How am I being empowered by wearing long white robes and crown? What does purity and chastity have to do with Scholar. What happened to my mortarbard? My glasses? My medals? I'm not a priest, I'm not a religious figure. I'm a military tactitian that made a pact with an aether construct to defend an old coastal city.

I saw similar outfits on reddit a couple hours ago and I think even if Seraphism does not go in the direction of Fairy Wings, the additional hat and cloak would be a great transformation effect. It adheres to the Nymian Marine theme as a high ranking military tactician as per Scholar's lore. The translucent military outfit that goes on top of your character billowing outwards would have been a great addition in contrast to WHM's Temperance. I find it to be a more tasteful 'magical-girl transformation' that doesn't directly overwrite all of your outfit glamours or racial features.

The Chain Strat screens would go so hard. Please CBU3.

It’s already bad enough that the majority of healer gear is a fairly generic white robe. I’ve worked hard to avoid the look they specifically want to thrust upon us. Most of my glams share a reasonably close vibe with the artifact gear, just a bit less busy.

Plus, if they were going to have a visual transformation, the logical one would be to give Eos’s wings during dissipation, sans robe.

[Keichi]

I find the idea of becoming a angle funny.
But, it should be a skill of the summoner.

I mean, aside of the allways growing horns is the second most common thing for them, to have wings at the back. A form, that gives them wings, looks fitting.^^
