I am making this post in hopes of getting an answer whether or not the strange behavior for the class set auras is intended or not. Class auras are supposed to appear when you equip five items of a class set, or when you equip five of the associated outfit styles. Ideally, at least. It seems like their behavior is inconsistent, and I have not seen any confirmation about whether not these behaviors are intended from my previous times mentioning these issues. Below are a few circumstances which stand out in terms of inconsistency, tested on PTS and confirmed to the best of my abilities on PC/NA:
Character select screen visibility;
Hide helmet workability;
Weapons contributing to an aura or not;
Beyond the initial question of if the above behavior is intended, I am left with a few additional questions:
TL;DR
Character select screen visibility;
- Auras from equipped gear do not appear on the character select screen, regardless of what bar they are on
- Auras from outfit styles do appear on the character select screen
Hide helmet workability;
- Equipped armor (with helmet being a class set piece) does apply an aura when you hide helmets
- Outfit styles do not apply an aura work when you hide a helmet that would total up to five class style pages
Weapons contributing to an aura or not;
- Equipped weapons do add to the aura total (But only when they are on the active bar)
- Class set weapon styles do not add to the aura total
Beyond the initial question of if the above behavior is intended, I am left with a few additional questions:
- Is the game coded to only look at armor pieces when considering outfit style auras?
- Does Hide Helmets technically remove the equipped style set in an Outfit/Dye Station, explaining why Hide Helmets removes the aura?
- Why don’t weapon styles apply to the aura total?
- With us not getting a new set of pages for the second wave of class sets, will we get a way to choose which aura to have active with applied class style pages?
TL;DR
Still waiting for answers about class set aura behavior, and also hoping that one day hair dyeing will be an option. We know it's canon thanks to a book in the Manor of Masques! (House of Reveries: The Troupe)

MafiaCat115✭✭✭✭✭Sad to see that no updates have been given on this, and the weird mechanics have made it to live.
