Well in fairness the last set of hats all looked pretty much like ass except on Taru.

[Not Kuno]

Oh man are the mage pants going to blow against morrigan.

[Baelorn]

Oh man are the mage pants going to blow against morrigan.

Damn I guess that means no one will use them. SE should know everyone has morrigan's these days.

[Kaiyoko]

Only +2 to the base stats.... They better give like +3~5% haste to even make it close to anything melee would use -.-

[Gergall]

Oh man are the mage pants going to blow against morrigan.

Or maybe there will be another Fast Cast option and you'll have a use for both.

I hope those mage pants are a major typo. Why would they give mages the dragon... that is something more for a mnk and nin. Hell, even in the description of the pants it says "Far Easten Lands". Everyone knows that is a description for mnk, nin and sam jobs. Don't get me wrong, they are bad ass looking, but lets get real. It should be for melee, not mages.

[Spungy]

Eek, they look like Bastok Campaign armor. I dunno...

Windurstian pants based off of Far Easter design. Not a typo.

[Diabolic Peach]

That makes me sad. I can already see that I'm going to be dat swapping stuff around.

But aight, its for mages. Yet, has anyone put together a model of all 3 pieces together? I think that would look a little strange honestly. The big mage hat with cresent moon and a dragon for legs... Hmmmm...

Edit: Read the whole description. Would help if I did that instead of reading the first 2 lines then running out to take kid to school. So yeah, my bad.

And wtf... my signature is all RED X'd up.... /sigh. Anyone else not seeing it?

[Dymlos]

Legs this time? Eh, I have no use for those pants, not picking this scenario up. Hell, if they haven't posted the augs yet, then that means they are ass augs.

[Midnightjade]

I like all the leg armor models - the one with overlapping metal plates is especially badass.

Definitely getting this - Shantotto plus decent leg gear as a reward is going to be win + win. They finally got it right.

[TacoTaru]

I agree that if these only have +2 base stats, that the augments are going to need to be pretty good to surpass what we have available already.

[Mistress Stowastiq]

The mage pants look wicked.

Seriously,
I'd wear those in rl. I thought for sure those were for mnk until I read the info. All the legs are nice though. Gee I need to get to 75.
