    Fencer should give accuracy and attack

    According to wiki.ffxiclopedia.com/Fencer, the fencer trait grants the following:
    Job Trait Overview
    • Game Description: Increases rate of critical hits when wielding with the main hand only. Grants a TP bonus to weapon skills.
    • Increases rate of critical hits by 5% when wielding with the main hand only. Grants a 40 TP bonus to 1-handed type weapon skills. (See discussion for test info)
    • Job Traits are always active.
    • Does not function with 2-handed weapons or while dual wielding.
    • Does work with ranged weapon skills as long as you are single-wielding with the main hand.
      Functions normally with a shield equipped.
    This doesn't seem like much to me. I think fencer would do better with an attack and accuracy boost. This should give jobs that typically prefer 2-handed weapons for DD'ing another look at single wielding to do more/same amount of damage and increase weapon options for DD's.

    Currently, no war or dark in their right minds would consider using a single handed weapon and a shield, for the simple fact that single wielding does significantly less damage than dual wielding.
