Will Marauder's have hooded robes in 1.2?

I know there's been multiple threads with people complaining about the fact that Marauders (for the most part) don't have access to hooded robes. I noticed that according to patch notes there will be "new gear" for classes, and my question is, will there finally be hooded robes for marauders?

Hooded robes will never be available for marauders beside the few that are already available.

Designers thought the terminator look was more in line with the star wars universe as far as marauders are concerned.

 

Have any proof to back this up?

Tionese, Columi, and Rakata pieces all have hoods. They get obstructed by the helmet however.

 

With changes to armor crafting, and reverse engineering, people will be able to craft the tier gear look alikes. If you have helmet graphics disabled, it will show you with a hood. However they did mention they will allow you to force hood up display (clipping issues used to occur). Anyways, Marauder with helmet +hood will look pretty sweet.

 

As far as leveling goes, who cares, go solo black talon a few times, get the robes, pull mods out, and enjoy until you are 50. The negligible armor difference you will lose in it being a light piece of armor is not going to affect you in any noticeable way.

 

This is really not a very huge topic. As far as leveling is concerned, a moddable chest (albet light) can be used, and once you hit 50, you have plenty of armors with a hood.

Sadly, I think you're right. :(

That isn't the issue. We all know by now that that stuff has hoods. THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE HOOD ALONE. The Xenotech Weaponmaster's Vest is currently the ONLY hooded ROBE that is available and it's a semi-rare piece by the fact that it drops in KP NM only.

 

What we've been BEGGING for is something identical to the Primeval Paragon robe from the Corellia Vendor. It's 100% what we want, but it's HEAVY. Compared to our medium terminator-suit, how does that make any sense?
