    Aiming Gear

    Hi again, Dev team!

    Please, for the love of all things precious, stop giving us ugly aiming gearsets for job gear and tome gear. Namely mch, but aiming in general too. We always get shafted for ugly gear. Even the crafted sets are always ugly for aiming. PLEASE STOP THIS and give us at least one really awesome outfit per expansion from either raids, crafted , or tomes. Thanks!

    Sincerely, most of us ranged mains.

    I think the reason why Aiming tend to look like a rag is because the design mostly based on the assumption it's for archer/hunter as it's the original aiming class. Outside of relic gears we rarely see aiming gear made with a MCH/DNC aethestic. That's said there are some good piece for MCH if you look at the PvP section.

    I don't disagree that Aiming Gearsets should be more versatile considering the varied applications of each class, but this isn't actionable feedback. It's entirely subjective. So what is it about Aiming gear that you find ugly? Do you have specific gearsets in mind? What are you looking for that you would consider not "ugly"?

    I thought a lot of the later Aiming designs got re-centered on MCH once that was added? Maybe I'm just not far enough to see, most of what I do requires checking the market boards due to differences in job vs MSQ level.

    I went hunting for a nice veil to use and was very frustrated that the little bandana is basically my only option on Bard. There's a moonward one, but only for Striking and Scouting? ??? But Dancers are in the Aiming group...

    On a brighter note: I am so delighted that there is a very nice bow that looks like an actual bow functions. I can't use it yet, I can't afford it yet, but one day I will have the

    Longbow, with its lovely detailing and complete lack of flashing effects. :joy:

    "ugly" is a subjective claim as what some people like others don't

    take a look around the game at just what dyes and glams people use and you'll see everyone has varied tastes.

    A lot of Aiming gear feels like it was designed for machinist first. Which is odd considering the job design feels like machinist goes last among the three.

    Getting rid of robes would be a good start. And this affects all roles. This game isn't Final Fantasy, it's Robe Fantasy.

    Theming right for Aiming gear is almost impossible. Dancer is culturally rooted in a move set based on traditional Thavnairian, Machinist is culturally rooted in an early industrializing Ishgard, and Bard is rooted in the rustic fantasy medievalism of the Twelveswood.

    There is just no common ground between the three of what an 'aiming' set should look like. Bards want outfits (and fancy hats) that express a performer's flair, Dancers want ribbons and flowing fabrics that do not impede movement, and Machinists want practical protective all-climate cover.

    Admittedly its specific but I thought this xpac's Machinist job armour was excellent. Very Doc Savage / Allan Quatermain / Indiana Jones look.

    The gear doesn't need to look like an aiming set, most gear doesnt look like it belongs to a specific job or role, since everyone wears tailcoats and robes. we are all a buncha mages on the outside. or just severely over dressed. i just finished looking at all the tome gear and all the raid gear, its all bad lol same styles we have had for ten years for the most part with maybe 1 exception, and maiming set looking like red cross healer outfit (due to the red and white colors, it looks like early whm theme, and the healing set matches the maiming set but has sleeves)
    lets go have a gander at the bads shall we.
    diadochos aiming set is kinda meh, not awful like the rest of the typical aiming gear.
    rinascita ... not even worth describing how bad it is
    classical is ok, if youre female character.
    exarch is kinda uggo
    neo ishgard is great, if youre female.
    facet is just a reskin
    all the tome and raid gear from hw for aiming is not hot
    i kinda like the aiming set from omega savage raids , the rest of the raid/tome/crqafted gear from sb is uggo
    edenmorn looks ok, but its the same crap we have in 50 different versions and continue to get more of
    crystarium coat of aiming is good when dyed , the rest of the raid and tome gear from shb is garbs
    do i really need to continue? ask around in game , most people will agree most aiming gear is not something they would use as a glam , but rather they would glam over it immediately with anything they have just so they dont have to look at it.
    im currently using the pvp reskin of high allagan aiming set , and thats pretty much alll i have for aiming atm that looks decent on a male character
