Swtor need armor flares MY toon should be on fire or at least have a rain cloud following him. I know we can because of the plague effects from the events

Flairs. Flares are entirely different.

And what you're describing is the armour equivalent of weapon *tunings*. Flairs are the things around your character portrait that give you a symbol after your name.

But sure, why not. (Actually, there are some very good reasons why not, mostly related to rendering performance and screen clutter. Go into GW2 in a popular "hanging out" area and you'll see what I mean.)

clarification I meant armor flourishing like mounts. A temporary glamour effect like a rain cloud of flaming body to show off. the rendering performance would be the same as when using toys and other abilities each as a timed action that is rendered

We already have a few armor flairs. I don't remember the names, but several armor pieces have effects like electricity sparks, headbands that makes your eyes glow, few armors that make a little flying droid appear beside you...

But I would much rather to just keep the "effects" in toy forms. I don't like the special effects personally and if there is an armor I like, but it has a dumb effect on it, I won't buy it.

Just create a flame toy if you want to be on fire but please don't force those on my clothes.

That's what that dude described to ya XD we know what you mean, and I agree man that would be cool.

It's not what I described, actually. I thought he originally meant a permanent thing, like the glow / other effect from a weapon tuning, if you have the weapon out on display all the time. (Some tunings glow at least a bit anyway, example: Purple Haze.)

OP was clarifying that he really meant a mount-like flourish effect. And yes, that would be cool if it's not too "noisy" (either in actual sound OR in visual flashiness).
