Impressions from the PTS - Armours

I recovered some impressions from the PTS Neverland. Update 1.6 includes overhauls of the Orc and Redguard armours. The following pictures feature high ranked gear.

For some reason there was no headgear included with the testing gear packages

Redguard Light (please note the new staff pose which only applies when holding a restoration staff)

(yes, it's a greatsword on my back. I forgot to unequip it)

Many thanks for posting these, Val. For those unfamiliar with how linked images work, if you want to see these at max resolution, right click choose the Open in a New Tab option. Guildlaunch doesn't have the full array of image viewing options.

Question is will Orc Heavy on women remain showcases for cleavage. And will Redguard light at low levels still be sexy. I still see we have those Redguard wheel well shoulders but overall it's an improvement certainly.

I just hope the Master Crafter scheme floated earlier by the developers that uncouples style from materials comes to pass. As it is now the only material properties in the game are level and style except for some motifs such as Primal and Barbaric. Your bare armed warrior woman showing her powerful, cut muscular shoulders gets whacked at level 16 and turned into a nun by level 26.

Meanwhile you can encounter VR10 Bosmer NPC gals wearing level 1 style medium chest pieces and VR9 Sea Elf women in sleeveless heavy chest armor.

The work around is the add-on that lets you swap outfits with a keystroke but this is only viable in safe areas.

I have a question about the new healing staff posture. What does the walking animation look like? Is it like the walking stick sort of animation the Prophet has?

First things first: The restoration staff walking animation is not the one of the prophet. You simply lift the staff and walk, like it has been before.

And, to complete the Armour gallery: Women.

I still left out the low level armour because I didn't want to spend hours on the PTS.
