Monk-directed crafted armor is already here...why not make it a gi?

[circusgirl]

<div>The new T7 Dexterous Dragonhide armor is obviously geared towards monks and brawlers:</div><div> </div><div>+20 str/+20 agi</div><div>+70 health/+70 power</div><div>+201 disease/+134 divine/+201 magic/+201 mental/+201 poison</div><div> </div><div>The graphics for it even have a slightly monkish look, especially the shoes (I have [Removed for Content], need to find a place to host it before I can show it here).</div><div> </div><div>We've been asking for crafter-made Gis for a long time...they're going to be adding in similar recipes to this one for all teirs soon anyway, why not give us a Gi graphic on these?  Make it distinct, don't use the graphics for quested/dropped Gis, with one version for common and another (cooler) for rare, but make it distinctly monk-ish.  It may be a small project for the art department, but it will save them work in the long run because they won't have to worry about the art for that set of armor in the future...just shade it a different color and you're done!  It'de be great...you'de be able to tell at a glance that someone was a monk within a certian level range.  And they're already planning on adding in the recipes, so they'de have to make new art for that anyway.</div>

<div>I bought my first piece of dragonhide armor yesterday... I went with the woven armor (the 'Druid' armor) I wouldn't buy a full set of woven, but I think I'll end up mixing and matching pieces of both sets. The woven are all the exact same stats except +20 stamina and +20 wisdom instead of strength and agility. Agility sucks.</div>

[circusgirl]

<div></div>I wish it was +20 str, +10 sta/+10 agi instead of +20 str, +20 agi.

[Chestr Copperpott]

<div></div>I went with a mix of Dextrous and regular Dragonhide armor. Has worked good for me so far.

I really like the look of that armor. I dont think it looks as good as my blood drenched gi but a whole lot better then the aq gi.  At least SoE made it so ppl look at you and think hey that might be a monk instead of is that a healer.<div></div>

<div></div><p>1.  No player crafted gis.</p><p>2.  Please don't put agi/sta on dexterous, that's what regular dragonhide is for.  MAKE PEOPLE MAKE CHOICES.</p><p>3.  It does have a monk'ish look, that tunic/pants/sandals/shoulders is EXACTLY what the majority of the Ashen Order monks wear.</p>

[circusgirl]

<div></div>Yeah, I thought about it and I think mixing the woven and dexterous should get you just about everything you need.  I really like the look on the woven dragonhide pants, kind of loose in a way that makes you think they'de be great Gis...

Since player made stuff sucks anyways, there is no need to add crafted gis. Just get one of the many quested ones.

[circusgirl]

<div></div>Actually, my T7 crafted gear is infinitely more desireable than anything in any earlier teir, or at least so say the sales records!

[Morrolan V]

<div>Hmmm.</div><div> </div><div>In my opinon, +18 STR/STA/AGI, with lambent imbued, is far better than 20 STR/AGI, even acounting for the additional power and resists.</div><div> </div><div>Am I missing something?  SOE clearly is gearing the dextrous set toward brawlers.</div>

<div></div>Resists > minimal proc.
