Any chance we'll see polearm skill as Blue Mage?

I just wanna be like Kimahri Ronso from Final Fantasy X, he never used a sword, always stuck to his trusty polearm.

*scratches head* idk why you would want pole arm other then fan boy service but..... ya idk what to say to this lol. I personally am fine with sword, and if anything, I wish they would introduce whips or something. yet thats just me. =)

Well it'd be fun to play around with another weapon for once other then a warp cudgel given our poor selection of clubs, plus polearm would give us some cool skillchain capabilitys.

Like Impulse Drive > Quad. Continuum for Darkness, since are spells seem to have about a 90% chance of having mirror dmg from skillchains I could see some monstrous numbers, could possibly break 20k dmg with a set proc on Quad with mirror dmg.

Another option would be to give Blue Mage access to Swift Blade which would open up the same skillchain opportunitys.

Swift blade would be nice, we would probably give it a better use then PLD's do.... Just sayin haha.

I'd like to get dagger skill (evisceration) or access to hexa strike for a more variable arsenal myself. Swift Blade is a given, though I suspect we'll never get it.

while I understand the WS possibilities at high levels, if you wanna use Blue magic and a polearm, just play DRG/BLU, considered one of the best mage subs

I doubt the lore in FFXI would place a spear in the hands of an Immortal.

I've suggested Greatswords for BLU a few times... specifically the Falx type models (curved blade, to keep w/ lore) Just because it would be nice to have access to something else now and then.

Lol, Khimari was barely a Blue Mage imo.

Why do you say that? To me it seems that he fits the basic requirements.
