Records of Eminence - Why can't DNC use the Dagger?

Simple question really. Been looking through all the items that have been introduced with this update while at work. The records of eminence is a great idea but the only weapon purchasable using sparks that DNC can use is the H2H for which we have 'D' skill. Why is DNC omitted from the Eminent Dagger? The only weapon it is proficient in.

MNK, WHM, BLU and RUN are omitted because they have no native Dagger Skill so I can understand that. But DNC, COR and PUP are omitted for no reason even though they have a higher skill than some of the other jobs that can equip it.

SMN, SAM and DRG have 'E' skill and can use it (but probably won't)

DNC and COR have a B+ skill in dagger (their highest skill) but can't use it.

Please tell me this was a mistake because it makes no sense.

Is it a Kris type of Dagger? I haven't seen the rewards yet but I know DNC is generally omitted from Kris line of daggers. If it's an actual Dagger then yeah, it's just SE's weird selection to try to keep DNC off of stuff :l

It's the same type as Blau Dolch.

All the weapons share their Icons/Models with the "Blau Dolch" type CoP weapons of their era, and all have the same Latent Effect/Same way to activate said effect.

They likely just borrowed that, and DNC was not on Blau... Sorry DNCs, maybe they'll update it later.

Dancer never really got to use those kinds of daggers because they were known for Jambiyas, and knives (Only exceptions are being Twash and Terpis with Auric dagger and Mantodea) all in all though, it's awfully strange, considering that the only dagger is keeping DNC off of it.

If that is truly the reason, then the obvious answer would've been to not make it that dagger type in the first place.

Seems like a huge oversight to me. Dancer gets nothing.

Its a confirmed bug on the JP side.

Can you translate please? Will they change it so DNC can use this dagger? Would be nice if they could let us know as well.

They'll be adding DNC onto the dagger. They didn't state a date.

Amusing side: The poster that the Rep applied to stated she was so upset that her nose got runny.

Yeah I bought it for my DNC then saw this. At least I can still use it for my THF, but honestly... I really hope they fix this fast.
