I look like a beatleFollow

There are three things I dislike about that head/body armor stuff for tanks. First, I've been wearing the exact same rehash of that gear for the past 30 levels, and I'm sick to death of it. I get that warriors like the full battle armor... but at least give us more than 1-2 options for 30 levels. It's so boring after a while.

The second thing I dislike is that there is no option to put the visor up and you can't remove the headgear. I know this sounds cheesy, but when I'm doing story quests that involve my character, I like to see his face and his reactions to what's going on. It's really aggrivating watching a story scene, they cut to me, and it's just the cold steel gaze. There definitely should have been an option to remove just the head portion of the armor for aesthetic purposes.

The third thing I don't like about it, is that with a warrior, my axe constantly clips through the back part of the armor. It looks super cheesy. I know there's an option to hide weapon while sheethed, but I LIKE having my weapon on my back. I just don't like that half of it ends up looking like some weird art sculpture where my axe is melded to my armor.

So long story short... GIVE US MORE OPTIONS!!!

Lol I like the thread title, I want to look like Ringo star.

Kind of reminds me of Ram Man from the He-Man series - http://www.he-man.org/collecting/toy.php?id=550

That dude! I had him, you could push his legs into his body =)

Yeah I really hate that. Like really really hate that.

I really hate the DL caster stuff too, at least the healer stuff is white/black. I got the Vanya robes just cause I hated the DL cowl so much I couldn't stand looking at it anymore. The first time I equipped a cowl I hated it. They could have at least gave us the option to throw the hood back like the /visor and the option to dye the DL stuff so were not all running around looking like monks in black robes.

Darklight is the goal.. until you have it.

Then the goal is to get anything!! other than Darklight.

AF2, Allagan or CT drops all look much better for a majority of jobs and equip slots.

OP, are you a taru? Talk about looking like a beetle! Couldn't agree more.

No, I'm a fem galka, but I feel sorry for those taru tanks. I look like a BIG beetle when standing, but when I go into battle stance those huge ugly shoulder plate things hide my head and I look like a headless dullahan or something.



the whole set of armor is a clipping mess. Just do a couple emotes.

Up until 50 I avoided every piece of the "heavy" series of armor. At least I had the option to wear scalemail (which looks cool) and a helmet that I could turn invisible without sacrificing too much defense. Now I basically gotta use it unless I wanna downgrade 15 item levels down to militia gear.

Yeah, I instantly regret buying the Darklight legs because of how badly they clip through the CT body.

I'm just going to save up for the myth pieces (or hope that the Allagan stuff drops).

I detest the look of all of the head/body combo armor pieces. The one I used at all while levelling I refused to even finish the spiritbonding of it.

I know, right? I was so excited to buy the Valor pants yesterday since I had the CT boots, then I went to put the two on and... there's some skin showing.

It's pretty terrible when upgrading from it as well.

You're wearing an ilvl70 piece that covers both your body and your head. Lets say you finally save up enough to buy that ilvl90 Body. That's great! There just arent any single-head pieces available for you. You need to wear ilvl55 stuff till you make enough Myths to purchase the head to go along with it :/ Decent in theory, but you just gained 2 VIT from doing that at most perhaps due to the terrible head that goes along with it.

Same thing goes for the Legs/Feet piece. It's a terrible design and should never have taken place unless there were plenty of (craftable) alternatives available.
