Magi, we are being screwed. In pve one of the goals of an endgame raider is to see lush dungeons and fight epic bosses. The other is to get decked out in epics.
Unfortunatly our epic armor isn't so epic we move up from a clown suit to a dress with matching colors. Now others would say that as a clothie we should expect to wear a dress.
Now I would concede but look at our clothie brethren the priests and warlocks.(you share a commonality with a lock deal with it.) The warlocks have horns, wings, void-like masks and my personal favorite their T3 poison tree frog set. Priests have a archangel thing going on with glowing light, wings, and a cool t5 headpiece. But to top it all off they have an awesome t6 with awesome shoulder pads and a hood that makes you look like a jedi.
Their gear sets show who they are as a class. For the warlock death, fear and shadow. For the priest light, salvation and a solomn sense of duty. Mages should have sets showing mystery, fire and ice. (Yes I am aware that the t3 frostfire is amazing and fills the ice one.)
So pardon my anger when I say a purple rocketship doesn't cut it for t6.
-mages for the win
